Justin Michael's Reviews

Lover of gaming since he first wrapped his hands around the original GameBoy, to draining his allowance away at the local laundromat arcade cabinets as a kid, and now broadcasting his adventures on twitch.tv Justin practically dreams in pixels. When he’s not playing games he’s typically found prototyping a game concept or consuming otherworldly amounts of caffeine.
7 / 10 stars - Frozenheim

Frozenheim is a visually attractive and enjoyable Viking-themed city-builder let down by shallow combat and questionable resource management.

With tight controls, hilarious dialogue, and great gameplay mechanics Agents of Mayhem is the collection addition to fans of the genre or the Saints Row franchise.

With a few minor unique features of its own, the game very much feels like Banished 2.0 and not its own title.

Screeps is a fun game and has a unique angle to it. While it still has some room to grow, it's moving in the right direction. Using actual programming instead of a pseudo-language actually allows the players to focus on better coding habits and makes practice fun. There is a very active community of people on the game's Slack channel so it also has a touch of the MMO chat to it for the social programmers out there.
