Some play progress on Skyhill, Damnation, and Learning Factory.
Learning Factory Alpha Test -- tries to teach AI and machine learning with factory assembly line game. Admirable, but I can finetune the production line without any AI price optimization. It kinda makes sense, and kinda don't. If you want factory game, get Satisfactory, Factorio, or Shapez.io. I'm a bit of "meh" about this one so far.
Skyhill -- had this game forever, only started playing. It's interesting, as you are meant to explore the various alternate endings. Basically, you are the only real survivor of WW3 when a bio-bomb was unleashed on your city. You're stuck in the VIP room, level 100 of Skyhill Condo. Staff and guests have been turned into blood-thirsty mutants, and you're running out of food. Can you survive your way down to 1st floor and get out? Or will you die along the way? What secrets will you discover along the way? You will die plenty of times, as the rooms are randomized.
Damnation -- shooter with acrobatics, weird combination, alternate history where Union and Confederacy have destroyed each other, and in its vacuum, an evil industrialist has turned US into a slave labor camp with promise of "liberation" with ultimate goal of world domination. And only a few rebel are in his way of his army... Think Matrix gunplay (without bullet time) combined with a bit of Mario wall-jumping in 3D, plus a few bits of vehicular action that features horrible visibility due to being 3rd person. :-P
UPDATE: Abandoning game. Generally I tried to finish games, but this one is turning into "why won't this jump". I somehow can no longer effectively wall jump It just won't do it. ARGH. I think I am about 3/4 through the game. Too frustrating.

Now about some games I've played previously...
Molek-Syntez -- a different kind of chemistry assembly puzzler... Spacechem was also about chemicals, but that's on a regular grid. This one is from the same guy, but it's on a hex grid, with 6 manipulators to push ions and stuff around. And the idea is to synthesize the required chemical in the shortest amount of time using your basic building blocks by manipulating bonds and electrons and the ions and molecules. It's more complicated than it sounds, yet simple to understand. Interesting puzzler.
Metal Dead -- a humorous trip through the zombie apocalypse... standard point-and-click adventure game about making choices, combining and using items, with a lot of humor.
Race the Sun -- an "infinite flyer" where your objective is to not crash, and make sure you outpace the sun setting in front of you. Good luck.

I'm going to finish Damnation, then try Trident's Wake, MarZ, and Detective Di.
