Casey Scheld's Reviews
Endless Ski's poor attempt to cash in on the Ski Free nostalgia has created a title that encapsulates none of the qualities that make the original such a classic.
Ocean Drive Challenge Remastered takes away a number of features that made SEGA's Outrun so great, leaving behind a bland title that does nothing to stand out.
Kill the Emoji – The Remake manages to be even worse than The Emoji Movie. The gameplay is bland, the controls are basic, and the presentation is garish.
Despite having four years of updates behind it, Street Fighter V: Champion Edition is far from the definitive version of the game. Though the core fighting engine powering this title is sound, its poor netcode and lack of polish stick out like a sore thumb.
Frantic, fluid, and fun, Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late[cl-r] features all the greatest parts of the fighting game genre. It's not a revolutionary update, but rather an evolutionary one designed for those looking for accessible yet nuanced gameplay and a truly diverse roster.
Infinity Racer XD takes pride in its simplicity, but the rampant bugs, repetitive stage layouts, and lack of variety hurt its chances of ever standing out in the arcade racer field.
Foodie Bear's combination of roguelike elements and platforming has merit, but this chubby fellow's adventure comes across as uninspired and sloppy.
Sisters Royale: Five Sisters Under Fire is a solid shmup, albeit one that plays things a little too safe. The power shot mechanic has merit, but the inclusion of summons makes the overall package far too easy.
Space Digger turns the Asteroids concept on its head, but some of the changes made are questionable. It's not a bad game, but it changes the formula in a way some might not agree with.
Bears, Vodka, Balalaika! is proof positive that a single joke cannot carry a game. Between the poor AI, awkward controls, and lack of content, this is one title that is not worth the brief laugh.
Between its meandering writing and poor art, A Nightmare's Trip lacks the polish needed to stand out in the crowded visual novel space.
The concept of meme icons fighting one another will no doubt turn some heads, but this joke is just not taken far enough. The engine powering this bout for the ages is simply not built for the task, hampering its appeal.
Not for Broadcast: Prologue provides a fresh experience that pairs original gameplay with a great sense of humor. Though there is a bit of hand-holding, this taste of things to come has got us eager for the final release.
Type Knight successfully combines typing mechanics with gripping gameplay, but its small scale prevents it from it having long term appeal.
The horror stylings found in Haunted Gas Station are strictly by the books. It does not do anything horribly wrong, but players will know what to expect from this title with a mere glance of the Steam page.
stikir provides a refreshing jaunt through the mind of a creator, but the obtuse logic and quirky humor leads to an experience that is best suited for a select audience.
The aesthetics of Under What? make for an interesting showpiece, but the downtempo beats and solid art can't hide its poor story and lack of direction.
Karate Cat is simplistic by design, but this also takes away from the overall package. Its incredibly cheap price point reflects this, but it does not offer enough to encourage players to pursue it for the long term.
Terrawurm is a structurally sound arcade-like title, but its overly simplistic design hampers its replayability. It's fun for what it is, but don't expect to be engaged in the long term.
When the Past Was Around – Prologue might be a demo of things to come, but its obtuse story and busywork gameplay fail to establish a foundation for the full game.
