Retro Relics is a relatively short but satisfying game that felt as though I was having a conversation with the developer, enthusing about their passion for metal detecting. Overall, I enjoyed learning about the metal detecting hobby as I searched for buried items, built up my collection, and ultimately completed grandpa’s final request.
Wrapped in a charming tabletop style, Drop Duchy successfully combines simple Tetris gameplay with deck-building strategy into an addictive roguelike. I greatly enjoyed experimenting with different decks and strategies throughout my various playthroughs, all while falsely promising myself, “Just one more round!”
Overall, Nurikabe World is a fantastic game for players who love grid-based logic puzzles, such as Picross and Minesweeper. Outside of the main levels, there are still plenty more, whether user-created or randomly generated, making Nurikabe World a game that I’ll always come back to boot up when I’m itching for a few puzzles.
Overall, Paper Dawn: Slumbering Wind delivers a charming concept that still feels a bit bare bones upon release. I love the premise of flying as a little paper plane, but the experience would be greatly improved if future updates could add adjustable settings and smooth out the movement mechanics.
Overall, Odd Dorable is a short and sweet adventure, and I can sense the love put into creating this game from both the developer and their daughter. Unfortunately, the frustrating controls and lack of direction made this game more difficult for me to enjoy.
