Let's start with a good one. Very simple game, but great fun. It's surprisingly relaxing too, even though I'm not very good and failed a lot it didn't make me angry. What kind of magic is this!? Basically, you design metro lines in different cities to cope with the number of people wanting to reach different destinations. The graphics are very simple, just lines and shapes really. As more people appear, you need to cope with congestion and try to see the busiest routes to alleviate them before a station becomes overcrowded and you lose the game.

I beat the main challenge on every level which is to deliver a certain number of people to their destinations. There are additional challenges for each level that add extra conditions like, only use one bridge, use 3 or fewer different lines etc. I can't do most of those, so it's just 'beaten' not 'completed' for this one. I may leave this installed and dip into it now and then as it's easy to have a quick game.

I think this was in a Humble Choice but I didn't get it, had my eye on it as a possible purchase and managed to get a good trade. Glad I didn't spend money on it! It's okay, but not great. It's a little like XCOM, but there's a timing element to it. You mapy out where your soldiers will go and get time stamps for how long each action will take. Planning effective attacks means getting your soldiers into the correct positions at the correct time.

It's an interesting idea, but I don't think it quite works. One annoying factor is that you don't seem to be able to see the time withoutactually mapping it. So, I plan out one move, see the time, plan out another move and the time is too far off for me to coordinate my attack and I need to cancel both and start again. It would be better if there was a 'live' indication of the timing as you move your mouse around. The story was okay, but didn't really grab me and I found I didn't really care what the end result was, I just wanted to finish it. It seemed to be a bit of a resource hog too, strange for what doesn't look like a particularly demanding game. There are multiple endings, but I just got one then played for a few more achievements and stopped at a respectable 62%. Beaten and moving on.
