A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A shooter of some sort.

Hard to see, hard to play.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball – (1993 game).

Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.

  • A refresh of the 2007 Xbox 360

A top-down strategy game.

I dunno, it’s slow and awkward and has more talking than playing. Maybe I’d just have to wade through for much more time before the real game happens, but I’m not going to give it that chance. A game should be fun immediately.

DisplayFusion logo

A utility (primarily) for those with multiple monitors.

I got it to stretch my bottom bar across into the other screen, and it also has a feature to fix alt-tab so it only shows/includes the current desktop. Also of interest is putting a proper screensaver on alternate monitors.

It has a huge array of features. Of note is a configuration backup/restore feature, so I don’t have to make any notes on it.

I’m using the for-pay standard version, and can’t review the without-cost version. So while I can say I highly recommend this, I don’t think it’s really valuable to recommend something with a price tag.

A fair tower defence game that really does come across as a mobile game ported to desktop. I got it free from Epic, which is the only thing making me not completely trash this thing.

Fair, with flaws.

  • Supports ultrawide in so far as it paints a design outside of its normal widescreen aspect ratio.

Aliens drop by Earth and evil Humans shoot them down and mug them.

Nothing about the interface makes enough sense, and there are no hints as to how things work. It could have been made much better, even back in the day. I’m not going to forgive how bad it is, especially since there was zero effort by Steam to actually fix basic things like aspect ratio.
