I had an excellent time with Pepper Grinder and I'm very happy that there are still unique gameplay ideas to be shared in the 2D space.
I'm happy that I discovered ANIMAL WELL because its puzzle-filled world was a great deal of fun to traverse and master. Great stuff!
My gaming chum and I had a blast with Surmount and we can't wait to overcome even more climbing challenges so bring it on!
Braid, Anniversary Edition is both a throwback to simpler times and a reminder that indie devs can rise above if given the opportunity. ⏳
Farlands Journey exceeded my expectations and it brought me back to the golden age of experimental 2D platformers.
Rainbow Cotton is the kind of game that series fans will happily add to their collection but it surely won't entice many folks outside of that player base with its dated gameplay that unfortunately hasn't held up all that well. 🌈
SAND LAND is an unexpectedly beautiful game that's filled with heart, super-fun vehicle-based gameplay, plenty of laughs, and some of the most rewarding exploration out there. Definitely don't let its dry-looking world fool you into thinking any less. 🏜️
The core of Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! may be very familiar yet it does so many clever things with the classic party game formula that it's a very worthwhile experience for a couchful of chums, especially if you're a fan of the franchise. 👹
Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is one of the best Metroidvanias that I've played in a long time and it looks and sounds incredible, too.
As someone who wants to see more bear representation in gaming, I applaud Epic Dumpster Bear 1.5 DX: Dumpster Fire Rebirth.
Sophia the Traveler is simply delightful. From its charming art style to the outstanding amount of detail, this is a great indie treasure.
The clever gameplay and slick presentation of Sokobond Express will have you happily pushing more atoms than Niels Bohr.
I had a decent amount of fun with The Fall of Elena Temple but make sure you don't mind trial and error before playing it for yourself.
If you enjoyed Suika Game and love Azure Striker Gunvolt's music then PuzzMiX will be a welcome treat despite its lack of longevity.
MEGATON MUSASHI W: WIRED is one of the best mech games I've ever played thanks to its in-depth customisation component, tight combat, and outstandingly presented story within a fleshed-out anime world. I highly recommend it to any gamer who loves mech action. 🤖
I mostly had a great time with Stellar Blade with its combat being the real star of the show. Although exploration doesn't offer much exciting, it's still a worthwhile action adventure game that you're sure to have a lot of fun with. 🗡️
SaGa Emerald Beyond is a wonderful RPG for anyone who loves experiencing multiple worlds and stories while partaking in incredibly gratifying encounters against imaginative enemies. This is the sort of game that we need more of. 💎
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade: Wrath of the Mutants provides simple beat 'em up entertainment that can be kind of fun for a couchful of chums. However, its middling nature certainly leaves a lot to be desired. 🍕
Although I love the original and most of the games that it inspired, I found Lunar Lander Beyond to ironically be a step back. Yes, it can still be a rewarding game but the sense of accomplishment will often only come after much frustration. 🚀
My gaming chum and I absolutely adore Ready, Steady, Ship! and we can't wait for even more factory fun so bring on the DLC and sequel, please. It's a genuinely unique co-op experience that's packed with variety; every genre enthusiast simply needs to play it. 📦
