Frosthaven has been a fun time to play, with no bugs to speak of. The visuals are clean from the simple map you see on the over world, to the isometric battle fields you fight on. You can tell the devs put a lot of time into making the world feel as real as possible. And the sounds are crisp, not to mention that the narration for the events and fights are beautiful.
Lou's Lagoon was a fun and engaging crafting adventure that I had a lot of fun playing. Yes, there were a few hiccups here and there. but when dealing with the open sea and a magic storm, nothing will really be smooth flying.
Beastro was a fun and fresh take on the deck builder/roguelite genre that I had the pleasure to play. From the engaging environment to the fun gameplay, I never once found myself wanting to stop until I got to the end. I would recommend anyone who likes this style of game to give it a try as it is one of the best I have played in a while.
Caromble! is still a decent time and I enjoyed playing through it. It was definitely a fresh take on the brick break genre and definitely a different style of game than I usually play. If you play this style of game, I can recommend it, but be prepared, because if you’re like me, it might trigger a switch inside you that can cause you to get frustrated.
CloverPit is a fun luck-based rogue-lite that requires strategies and careful planning to be able to beat. It is easy to pick up, and the quick attempts make for a fast and fun experience that many can enjoy. If you enjoy rogue-lite style games, I would recommend giving it a try, to see if you can get out of a hell of your own making.
With engaging combat, crafting, and the ability to turn this simple cartographer into a worthy soldier, Of Ash and Steel became an adventure worth taking on. If you like Euro-jank style RPG’s this one is definitely for you.
In all, Grand Emprise 2: Portals Apart is very rough around the edges, but the concept the game has is a good one, even if it feels unfinished. Though the length of the game makes it a bit of a one-and-done type of experience, as it took me just under five hours to beat. I feel the game is best suited for those who are just starting out in survival games, as the journey gives a good taste as to what most of these games expect out of the player. Just don't go in expecting much.
