E-Commerce Simulator 2025– A Disappointing Attempt at Business Management

Image
 I couldn’t play E-Commerce Simulator for more than a few hours at a time. I really tried to give it my best shot, but the game simply isn’t that fun. While it offers some strategic thinking around selling items and an upgrade system that feels rewarding, the overall experience lacks depth, polish, and engaging gameplay mechanics. Here is a pros and cons list for you so you can decide if the game is worth it! Pros Requires strategic thinking when selling items, adding some complexity.

Mostroscopy – A Stylish Fighter With Missed Opportunities

Image
 Disclamer This game was played on a PS5 Console Mostroscopy delivers a visually striking fighting experience with smooth, fast-paced gameplay and a well-rounded character roster. Its art direction shines, particularly in the title screen and character selection, setting the stage for intense battles. While the controls are easy to adapt to, and it makes for a great couch gaming experience, some design choices prevent it from reaching its full potential. Pros Incredible art style and character design, especially in the title screen and character selection. Fast-paced and fun fights keep the gameplay engaging. Well-rounded roster of characters, offering variety and strategic depth. Great for couch gaming with friends, making local play a highlight. Controls are intuitive and easy to pick up.

Chained Together – A Test of Skill, Teamwork, and Platforming Precision

Image
Chained Together is an Only Up -style game that challenges players to climb higher through a mix of teamwork, skill, and persistence. Whether playing solo or with friends, the experience demands precision and adaptability as you ascend through varied environments. I completed the game in solo mode in around 3 hours and 4 minutes, and the journey was both rewarding and intense. Pros Smooth platforming makes climbing feel fluid and responsive. Frequent environmental changes keep the experience fresh and engaging. Great narrations add depth and atmosphere to the climb. Core systems build upon each other seamlessly, offering a natural progression as you ascend. Playing with friends is an absolute blast, making teamwork a fun and chaotic challenge. Cons Some in-game items have stretched textures and models, likely intentional but sometimes visually off-putting. Driving mechanics are poorly implemented, making vehicle sections frustrating rather than enjoyable. Final Thoughts Chained Togeth...

Market Simulator – A Half-Baked Attempt at a Market Management Game

Image
 Market Simulator presents an idea that, at its core, has potential. The fundamental mechanics are present, and the gameplay is roughly solid. However, the execution leaves much to be desired. While structurally sound from a mathematical perspective, the game seems intent on riding the success of Market Together without carving out its own identity. Here is a pros and cons list I have made for the game. Pros The core game mechanics are present, and the gameplay is functional, though lacking in depth. Cons Market Simulator is probably one of the weakest games I have played. I requested a key from the developer, expecting a well-structured and polished experience. While the numerical systems appear logically sound, everything else feels uninspired and underdeveloped. The game lacks originality, with no custom assets or cohesive visual design. Textures feel mismatched, there are no shadows, and the presentation gives the impression of a hastily assembled project. Final Thoughts Marke...
