Ask them, since you have a problem with the model.
The people that bought it seem happy and the reviews are legitimate, so I'm not going to hate on them to satisfy a hero complex...
At this time, I have no info on the complexity of the development of such a sim, even when an engine is re-used to recreate different regions. As such, I can't comment more on it unless more information is provided, not a rant. You might want to look at the guideline for evidence collection to see how to make an informative thread, rather than just this.
As much as some righteous indignation can be cathartic, I'd rather reserve judgement.

Pixel puzzles are pretty awful and lazy.

There's several ways of looking. If you are having a hard time, I can't understand why. With any degree of competence the tools steam provides make it easy to find games you may like, I guess you just need to know how to browse the store.
Alternatively, you can google steam hidden gems, there is a great article and list.

From what I understand, they are building LOGistICAL: Earth, to be released on feb 2018, and releasing stand-alone modules as they progress and complete them.
Considering how niche the product and how satisfied the reviews seem, I'd need more info to take issue with it.

Guess the lego games are spamming as well, since they usually have the same mechanics and a different skin...

Hahaha.
No, they aren't spammers as much as they make a lot of HOGs since they have it down.
You may not like them, but the games have some polish and are neither asset flips nor effortless cash grabs.
Having played a few, the games have unique stories and minigames.

Big fish is a publisher and you can google their platform to see what they have available there.

Some of the reviews could be suspicious: People with hundreds of reviews and people with most of their (under 50) games reviewed.

But they seem to be simple yet playable games, unlike some others. And from what I can see the devs took the time to fix bugs that came up, so it's not like they threw out a cash-grab and abandoned it.

Honestly, they don't seem that shady to me, sure 3 of their games seem to share assets or "engine", but that doesn't necessarily make them shady. I'd expect it's a small 1-2 people group of people doing these game-jam-style games as a hobby while not having an artist.

PUBG is as much of an "asset flip" as these seem to be. Using store-bought assets doesn't mean you are an asset flipper, that name implies a lack of effort and work put into your product. Using third-party art assets doesn't mean work/effort wasn't put into the game.

That said if someone has looked more in-depth into it and concluded that no work was put in to work those assets into the game, or that the games were bought as published, you can disregard my impression of them.

Sorry about that.

No worries.
I should also think about making things clearer the first time, so I don't need to rely on edits.

Sorry for derailing the conversation.
Good luck with game launch hvyblade

PS: Fallout 1 is free for a day in case anyone is interested.

I did:

But, since you replied while I was editing the comment to clarify it, you ended up missing it.
