So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami – (2006 game).
I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I’m the first person to ever play this, ever.

Be a gang member, run around in a sandbox world and shoot stuff, I guess.
It’s alright.
Note that the original Saints Row – (2006 game) was only released for the Xbox 360.

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

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..

Laser things, move things, push things and find your way through semi-puzzle stuff.
With an art style (and opening sequences) reminiscent of Borderlands – (2009 game) and gameplay reminiscent of Okami – (2006 game), this game has a very strong initial impression on me.
Not open-world, and definitely “on rails”, but it does give a lot of power to the user as to how to fart around to progress.
While overall good, the controls are wonky and cliffs are obnoxious. There should be no falling off mechanic and the game should instead dangle the player for a moment and never let them fall.
Properly titled Tiny & Big: Grandpa’s Leftovers

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.

This is more like an interactive movie. I’m not even going to bother installing this “game”.
Noted for reference.

Shoot stuff and things.
I played the open beta. I found it fun, but not worth money. When I was given it for free a while later, I didn’t find it all that great.
Overwatch 2 – While it has PvE to some degree, the full talent trees and upgrades concept will not be implemented. (source)
