In a pickle a game of big and little.

Image
In a Pickle card game In a Pickel is a small compact card game easy to carry anywhere. I mean the box is tiny. But it does have a big concept.   In this, everyone gets a hand of 5 cards while there are 4 cards laid out in a cross-like pattern. Each card is an object. Now this game is based on creativity, and if others agree with it.  So let me tell you a story. There was a flood filled with tourists, that was caused by a giant alien monkey's tears. He had a best friend who was an alien giraffe whose planet was twice the size of the monkey planet, and who had a grandmother whose foot was even bigger than his best friend.  You might be thinking what the heck am I talking about? Well, this game has to do with the big and the small.  We'll go back to the beginning. In the cross-like pattern with cards that have objects, the point is on your turn is to place a card that is either bigger or smaller than a card row. So for instance, if the card is ant, and you hav

Winter Survival - Casual Gaming Review

Image
Winter survival Winter Survival was released on March 6th, 2024 it was developed by DRAGO entertainment and published by DRAGO entertainment, and HeartBeat Games. Thank you for the key devs! I got it through a program called Keymailer.  When playing this game one of my viewers suggested that it looked like someone took the forest and mixed it with the long dark and I could not help but agree with that. This is a survival game, where you leave your pregnant wife at home to go take a quick adventure with a few of your buddies. A few things happen and after getting chased by bears and wolves you are trying to find your friends and get the heck out of there. There is an option of doing a tutorial before the game which I felt was an interesting concept of how they had it set up. It was a dark room with a variety of signs, each sign teaching you a different concept of the game. As I have played many survival games before I just went to view the various mechanics of the g

Palworld - Casual Gaming Review

Image
Palworld This game was developed and published by PocketPair.  Think of taking a community builder like Tribes: Primal Builder, a catch and battle game like Pokemon, and a survival game like Ark and merging them all into one.  This game is hot right now with lots of both positive and negative vibes. The Steam charts show how loved the game is, while Pokemon Fanboys are going nuts with copyright claims. (Where were you guys when someone made a Pokemon Minecraft mod Pixelmon though?) Of course with all the claims people are comparing shapes, colors, and animals with each other. I have even seen memes comparing Monster Rancher to Pokemon, while others mention Digimon. Come on guys everyone is allowed to make their own ducks, horses, deer, etc. Pokemon don't own all the animals in the world.  Gameplay Now I have been playing on PC myself but one of the people I play with also plays on Xbox. They have done nothing but complain about the bugs and glitches they have e

Taora: Beginning Taora was developed by Tulpar Games and was published by Tulpar Games and TheGamesFortress. It's an open-world survival community builder. The key was given to me through a program called Keymailer so thank you devs for the key! This version of the game is a demo of the game Taora: Survival. Get it it's the beginning of the game?

The storage center is well a small storage area, you later will also be able to make a chest for more organization. The command center is where you can switch between community members and build other stations in the base.  In the storage, you can get a pick axe and an axe. The first task would be to go chop some wood. In the process of that, you'll eventually have to start building the various stations.  Workshop: The

Palia - Casual Game Review

Palia This is a newer free-to-play MMO. It was developed and published by Singularity 6 Corporation.  It's a casual MMO in a sense. You can farm, cook, catch bugs, all with friends. I feel like it's Animal Crossing but with more people and things to do.  You can find this game on both PC and the Nintendo Switch. The best part is it's free!  Tools You have a few tools that will help you in the world, some can not be harvested until you upgrade your tool to a higher level. Makeshift tools don't need to be repaired while higher-level tools do have a durability mechanic to them. So you will have to repair your tools.  Axe - Chops trees  Pick - Mine ores and rocks Bow - Used to hunt animals Fishing rod - Used to fish Watering can - Used to water your crops Hoe - Used to plow to play crops Belt - Used for catching bugs  Crafting There is a wide range of things you can craft, between furniture better tools, and other crafting stations.  Worktable - This is

Enshrouded - Casual Gaming Review

Enshrouded This is an action-adventure survival base-building game. It was developed and published by Keen Games GmbH. This demo key was given to me by the developers of a program called Keymailer. The demo was out for Next Fest. So, thank you for the key! Gameplay You wake up in a capsule inside a temple. You've been asleep for a long time. As you run out you pretty much have nothing, your first task being to make a base.  As you make your way to the waypoint on the map the game goes through basic concepts. Throwables can blow up and change the terrain as well as the other items. I dug myself in a hole at one point.  A lot of things are breakable so once I got something I could swing (a sword) I started to hit everything I could. Which was good because I was getting all sorts of materials.  There is something called well enshrouded, it's an area that is tainted. Having a light with you decreases the rate at which it affects you. But it's pretty much if
