Jason Germino's Reviews
Redeemer is solid. The gameplay is amazing and rewards you with awesome moves and gore if you can get creative with your fighting tactics. Everything about this game is epic and gritty which makes that redemption oh so sweeter. Give it a shot, at $14.99 on Steam (currently on sale at the writing of this article at $12.74) it really is worth your attention.
Drifting Lands should be on the radar for any shmup fan, with the addition of the action RPG elements it adds great replay value and pull in non shmup fans. The grind for loot will grab you and you'll want to spend hours getting your ship calibrated to the way you play. I'm not sure if I can look at shmup games the same way again after Drifting Lands.
I believe Quarantine isn't going to be for everyone, but it is a good turn based strategy with some intense moments. Especially with the whole world depending on you to manage this outbreak enough to save everyone. At $9.99 it is a fair price but waiting on a sale could help with the current shortness of six scenarios.
Oh...Sir! The Hollywood Roast is an amazing game if you're looking for a good laugh and to lose a few hours. Roasting spoofs of celebrities and crushing their soul could be one of the most satisfying feelings I've had for $3.99.
Overall Seasons After Fall is a fun game to play. Though there are some issues that I ran into, I did enjoy playing it and getting wrapped up in the story was good enough to continue pressing forward.
Flinthook is a game that should not be missed. It truly stands apart from the platforming/rouge-like genre and has now set the bar for bad-assery. An amazing 'hook shot' movement mechanic, randomly generated levels, chrono-belt, humor, and collectables? This will keep you entertained for hours.
Rain World isn't a game that everyone will enjoy unfortunately, and that is a shame. Rain World is brutally gorgeous and an unforgiving world that continues to amaze and throw surprises at you along your journey.
Neurovoider is a blast to play. The customization, detailed artwork, and the soundtrack all fit amazingly in this twin-stick shooter. Though lacks in online multiplayer, it makes up in customization depth and procedural levels to not make it so repetitive. At a $13.99 price tag I would definitely pick this up if you're into this genre and have a buddy or two to play with.
Overall the game was entertaining for a bit, though I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much as a true fan. It does have some minor issues, but with a price tag of around $20 it isn't too bad to spend a few hours if you are an existing fan or mech fan.
All in all this game is fun to play. My little guilty pleasure of the year so far. Yes it does have some issues but if you can look past those any hockey fan will enjoy the break from fast paced over complicated NHL to a glory day slug fest arcade-like hockey game, especially PC users at a $11.99 price tag.
Any Metroidvania or Retro fans would enjoy this treat, it truly feels like a modern NES game. Especially at the $9.99 price point.
Yakuza 0 is over the top, but damn it I wouldn't have it any other way.
Imprint-X should intrigue puzzle fans. Though light in story, the gameplay is challenging enough and priced well to satisfy most puzzle fans!
