A desktop environment/window manager that continues GNOME version 2, after it was abandoned.
summary
Reasonable. The Pyra will use this by default.
I much prefer Openbox, but I wanted to try this a little.

A top-down shooter with superpowers.
An awkward and unforgiving game that's zoomed in too far to be fun.

A buddy cop show with an android, set in the near future.
So far it's great all around, especially the acting.

A combined first-person shooter and tower-defense game.
Seems pretty cute, but I hate tower defense games which have multiple entrances.

A side-scroller puzzle game.
I played around with it a bit. It's fair. It's overwhelmingly unforgiving and gets complicated.

Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.
Master of Orion - (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it's just awkward. I'll still tag this as 'liked', as it's pretty good. It's very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.
Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I'm shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it's not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..

A freemium Minecraft clone with a number of improved features.
It's prettier but has a lot of pop-in. The two block-high jump and sliding movement are unsettling. It's nice to have a list of all crafting patterns, and searching is nice. Crafting is very nice with its previews.
Overall I'd say this is a good game and an appropriate drop-in replacement for people who like Minecraft.

A space simulator fps thingy.
While it looked quite good at a glance, when actually trying it it fell flat. When a game cannot lean on cutting-edge technology, it has to have solid gameplay. It didn't feel good at all to me. I guess No Man's Sky spoiled me.

Problem: Can I get more value for my blades?
Are there blades which are more durable, granting more uses?

A Minecraft MMO.
I didn't have enough time to judge it fully. The first impression is Minecraft.
