Okay, everyone knows Minecraft and most folks already have an opinion about the game. But as my all time favourite game and the one I always go back to and as I'm going to be doing a gameplay series for it, I thought I best also give the game a review: detomplays.com/reviews/games/minecraft/

Re:Blade is a fairly decent incremental game, as an incremental game. The developer insists on calling it an incremental action roguelike though, which it really isn't, it's just a standard incremental. Anyway, the review for the game is now up. detomplays.com/reviews/games/re-blade/

Re:Blade Review | De Tom Plays

🗡️ Re:blade is a budget-friendly incremental game where you'll defeat enemies, earn gold and unlock stronger abilities. Ignore the roguelike label and enjoy the satisfying progression.
