Developed by a single person and still becoming a worldwide hit, Schedule I proves that making a fun and enjoyable game is what matters most. In this game, you start on the streets with only a bit of money and work your way up to becoming a kingpin through dealing illegal substances, stealing, and using other tools of the criminal world. With mechanics like skateboarding and skill-based stealing, it offers a well-crafted experience focused on pure fun.

A game with great mechanics and some flaws that deserves a more polished sequel. Great Houses of Calderia is a feudal strategy game where you manage family dynamics and resources. Win battles and strengthen your family's reign. The game has unique features that work well, but it also has its issues. Its complexity makes it difficult to get into at first, and the game itself could have been so much more. Since development has stopped, hopefully a more polished second game can deliver on its ideas.

A fun sandbox multiplayer game, but sometimes too much freedom can bring chaos. Overthrown offers enjoyable and fluid gameplay. A kingdom management game where you build, farm, and gather resources so your kingdom can thrive. The movement, combat, and management systems are all entertaining, but some other aspects of the game are currently a bit chaotic. Still, the game has a bright future if the developers can sit down and bring more structure and order to the experience.

Not every game needs to be grand or revolutionary. Broken Lens is an artistic and cozy take on the classic spot-the-difference formula.
