Casey Scheld's Reviews
Proof positive that love conquers all, Mission: It's Complicated saves the day with its original premise, sharp writing, and long-lasting replayability.
Combining rhythm and fighting is a novel concept, but It's Raining Fists and Metal just doesn't have the music nor the gameplay to stand out in the arena brawler space.
Drift86 makes an attempt to capture the racing spirit of Initial D, but the poor mechanics in place cause this title to crash right out of the starting gate.
Despite its light roster and stage selection, Granblue Fantasy: Versus' sheer charm and accessibility will appeal to veterans and newcomers alike.
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.
