Casey Scheld's Reviews
Go Go Poncho! Has got a novel concept with its ring-based mechanics, but the lack of attention-to-detail is blatantly apparent. Things just aren't balanced here, and the lack of options will keep you from playing with your buds in the long term.
Squirm is a simple game that does not do anything out of the ordinary. The trial and error gameplay can be a dealbreaker for some, though those that persevere may enjoy how comforting everything is.
Boo! Greedy Kid is the perfect game for speedrunners, puzzle fan aficionados, or those that like a little bit of humor in their games. The 100 levels start to run together after a while, but its pick-up-and-play nature makes it the perfect title to jump into when you've got a second to play.
Golfing Over It with Alva Majo is not a fun game. This is the type of title that will make you break your controller (or maybe even your computer) in frustration, and there is no payoff to incentivize players from mastering it.
Absolutely zero effort went into Toddler Simulator. This is a sad excuse for a game, and is more annoying than a baby's scream.
Meanders doesn't quite live up to Portal's puzzle platforming lineage, but it still provides a solid experience for those looking for it. It's obstacles and challenges will keep fans busy for a few hours, but don't be surprised if it's over before you know it.
Mind Twins is full of wasted potential. This is one title that will test your patience, rather than your mind and reflexes. Stick to co-op titles like Portal 2 and Brothers…for both you and your partners' sanity.
Aidsmoji: The Forbidden Fruit is a scam. If you want to see a group of friends dick around with a camera and make fools of themselves, you're better off hitting up YouTube for free.
Remnants of Naezith's rock solid physics make for an enjoyable platforming experience. The grappling hook is a game changer, and though it can quickly become frustrating, it also plays fair.
Hyperbolic Ignition is a novel take on the Asteroids formula, but many of the alterations found here do more harm than good. Fans are better off playing the Atari original than playing this title.
Gauntlet of Ire is an absolutely unforgiving game, but it's one that is full of creativity. Those that can overcome its impossibly steep difficulty curve and floaty physics will find a meaty adventure that provides a nice, healthy challenge.
The absolute bare minimum of effort was put into Reptiloids. Those brave enough to put down the $5 on Steam to try it out will leave it frustrated rather than entertained.
Infinos Gaiden feels like a long-lost SNK game. Though it is not the deepest or longest game around, it's a new experience that almost feels nostalgic.
DJMax Respect has a steep learning curve, but it provides a rewarding experience with tons of content. Those willing to cut their teeth will find a rhythm game that can easily hang with the greats of the genre.
The 25th Ward: The Silver Case has got a unique style, but its script could use some serious edits. Paired with its cryptic and frustrating puzzles, and you've got a game best suited for those with a lot of patience.
Bold Blade unique sword-swinging mechanic has merit, but there's not much game here to speak of. Those looking to feel unstoppable for a brief moment should check out this unique action RPG, but most should wait for a sale before taking the plunge.
Rysen is a standard shoot-em-up that doesn't do anything wrong, but does not do anything out of the ordinary either. Those seeking out another shmup could do far worse, but more casual fans can safely skip this one.
So much is wrong with ShineG in the SeaFight that it's a wonder it even got the greenlight on Steam. Forget about any semblance of strategy or logic – this is one broken game.
AtmaSphere was built around its physics, but unfortunately its physics do not work. What is here feels more like a proof of concept rather than a full-fledged game, making it an easy pass for those looking for the next Marble Madness.
Jet Buster is a blast from the past that captures the spirit of 90s shmups quite well. It's a fine tribute to days gone by, but its incredibly short length doesn't give it much replayability.
