In the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong.
Not bad, and it might have been good in the era it was made in but it’s mediocre now.

A connect-four type bubble-pop game, using a hexagonal board.
Not bad, but not my thing.

A buddy cop show with an android, set in the near future.
It’s great all around, especially the acting from the lead characters. Once the initial interest wears off, it lacks the good writing to give it either an episodic groove or an overall story arc. It’s especially poor with an arc which could last it into another season, trivially-justifying its cancellation.
Recommended only for fans of “loose” science fiction who would be interested in the robot buddy cop angle. Watch one episode, then decide. Others can give it a pass, unless they like Karl Urban, who plays a cop played by Karl Urban.

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.

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 – (2016 game) spoiled me.

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