An awkward early-access survival game which features wandering around, being killed by boars and trees, and attempting to build structures.
I might have been able to deal with boring and ugly, but the interface is shit; pass. Maybe when this is released I'll care again.

A slow combination of Minecraft and No Man's Sky. Hard pass.

Be a wizard that runs around casting spells.
Really hard to play, but because its gameplay is bad. A new game, but it looks and feels like a PlayStation 2 game. Get it if it's on sale for a laugh, otherwise don't bother with this one.

The spiritual successor to Armada 2525[doesn't exist].
Boring to me. I probably would have liked it well enough back in the day.

Aliens come to ruin an already-ruined earth.. which also already has aliens.
Quite an excellent game.

A connect-four type bubble-pop game, using a hexagonal board.
Not bad, but not my thing.
Properly titled Fractal: Make Blooms Not War

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.
DO NOT BUY. DO NOT TRY.

Explore, survive, gather and trade while making your way to the galactic core.
Every single described goal of this game has failed. It is a bad flight-simulator, with bad crafting, bad technology, and bad survival mechanics. It is set on procedurally generated planets so vast that nothing matters, in a procedurally-generated universe so vast that nothing matters. What's worse is that it is so godawfully crowded with hand-holding that it becomes both easy and repetitive. Being ugly and with abysmal performance, it's not even an exploration time-waster.
Perhaps in some years they will change/fix many of its issues, but I believe it has a fundamental casualness to it that anchors its core gameplay problems. This is not a game made for gamers.
2017-05-07 update: I tried it again, and it just isn't worth it. If its graphics were the same as before (they're busted now) then maybe. I have another video card but I'm not going to swap things around or fiddle with installing an old version of my card's drivers. I just don't want to bother any more.
