I had an enjoyable time with Mythwrecked: Ambrosia Island but I wish it was more involving, especially when it comes to its puzzles. đī¸
I haven't played a dungeon crawler RPG as satisfying and unique as Tokyo Clanpool in a very long time and I'm super-happy that it's as great of an experience as it is so if you enjoy these kinds of games and can get your hands on a copy, definitely take the plunge. đŧ
Entropy Survivors is my favourite Survivors-like so far with its colourful 3D visuals, huge arsenal of weaponry, and online co-op that adds a ton of fun to an already thrilling action-packed formula. Definitely hop to it and check it out, chums! đ¸

Although its combat and iconic visuals are excellent, the harsh roguelike setup of Metal Slug Tactics is both unnecessary and a hindrance to the amount of fun that you'll get out of the experience. On the bright side, its clever bosses certainly pose memorable challenges. đī¸
The amount of fun my gaming chum and I had with Servonauts is superb and I'm looking forward to getting 3 stars on every level. âŊ

LEGO Horizon Adventures is a game with a very specific audience: Horizon fans who want to play a funny co-op game with their kid or, in my case, annoyingly immature life partner (me). It may not be worth its weight in gold bricks but it's a heck of a good time. đš
