Most of the pbbg's that I come across these days look the same and in fact are often developed by the same company using the same core with a different skin. Learning that the game has an auto-path "feature" tends to result in an immediate turn off, but it does speed up the review process. Many of these games end up on my Mammoth list of PBBG's; a repository of the good, the bad, and the ugly. But on occasion, a game piques my interest enough to create an account, dive in, and check it out. Here are a few recent games that I'm reviewing for possible inclusion within my list of top recommended PBBG's.
PBBG's Currently Under Review
- Prosperous Universe: I have in fact played this game a couple years back for about a month and while it had some appeal, that appeal felt limited. But what the game does, it does well and for the sake of diversity I will be adding at as a top ranked PBBG.
- Bconomy: I have some criticism out of the gate but otherwise enjoying this quasi-idle incremental MMO playable in a browser.
- Glenwich.
PBBG's Recently Reviewed
- Reactor Block: It seemed to be a content rich PBBG. However, after creating an account it won't let me login. Looks dead. What a shame.
- Idle RO: It's okay. It's a bit of a clone but not something I would top-rank. I was playing it for a few days when I was prompted to change my name for some reason. There was nothing offensive about the name, it was probably a name the developer wanted to use. So I quit and now the game has a daily average of 9 players instead of 10.
- Titans of Time: A big no because the developer can't be bothered to say anything about the game on the website. There is just a register button and literally nothing else. Lazy. If you can't be bothered to say anything about your game then I can't be bothered to create an account for it.
PBBG Watch List
The following PBBG's are under early development and not available for public review but look interesting so I'm keeping an eye on them for future consideration.
