74 / 100 - Antigraviator
Jun 22, 2018

There is certainly enough great stuff in this game to make Antigraviator worth buying. There is a healthy number of tracks that will take hours to master, cool Gravs and parts to unlock, and it's a joy to look at and listen to while you do it. But with a little polish and workshopping, Antigraviator could have gone from really good, to really great.

90 / 100 - Octahedron
Apr 18, 2018

Octahedron is a bombastic, prismatic, punishing rhythm game that is a ton of fun, while it lasts.

65 / 100 - Puyo Puyo Tetris
Feb 27, 2018

Sonic Team tried to bring together two franchises as classic as peanut butter and/or chocolate, separately. But in combination, they mix about as well as oil and water.

7 / 10 - Time Recoil
Sep 15, 2017

Time Recoil packs a lot of fun into a relatively short experience, but the lack of effort invested into the plot, visuals, and audio holds it back from sitting at the top of the genre.

The difficulty in these puzzles is inconsistent throughout, which can be a double-edged sword.

Where Randall shines, if dimly, is its visuals.

Little Nightmares takes the budding “hide-and-seek-horror” genre to another level by implementing a visual style that is both grotesque and inescapable.

7 / 10 - Flinthook
Apr 26, 2017

While some may dismiss Flinthook initially, the game will sink its hooks into you if you give it a chance. The controls are sharp, the progression is satisfying, and the vibrant and unique art style will keep you smiling along the way.

Feb 23, 2017

Hallways are outlined with hash symbols, doorways are represented with plus signs, crafting items are letters of the alphabet, and the dungeon map is a faithful top-down expression of a traditional rogue-like.

6 / 10 - Xenoraid
Jan 18, 2017

Xenoraid does do a lot to try and stand apart from the deluge of similar games out there, and it should be commended for that effort. But with its lack of refinement, progression resetting, and fairly bland overall presentation, it's unlikely we'll be looking back on this one a year from now.
