Daniel Waite's Reviews
The strong foundation sets this title up perfectly. However, with a new team behind the scenes, it had the potential to fall short. Luckily, the writing was strong and I adore the varied characters. Moreover, the visuals capture a sci-fi edge that is magical and zany. Accordingly, though it isn’t perfect, I recommend buying it here! Can you master your skills and become a hero? Relax, read each mind, and piece together the truth.
Platforming games never used to be this easy. Sadly, Timberman: The Big Adventure won’t challenge skilled gamers. However, it is still enjoyable and I loved the aesthetics. Additionally, the mini-games were fun and the bosses tested you momentarily. Accordingly, this affordable title was satisfying and I recommend buying it here! Can you reunite the bear with its family? Grab an axe, explore the forest, and defeat the Evil Corp.
I had fun playing this with my friends and family. However, it lacked oomph whenever I played against the computer. Subsequently, the lack of online servers is a big issue as it undermines the potential. Yet if you play regularly with a group of friends on 1 screen, you’ll have a blast. Unfortunately, this won’t be the case for me, and it prevents it from excelling. Accordingly, I cannot recommend it, but more information can be found here! Will you become a blob champion? Master the dash, grab a weapon, and annihilate your foes.
There are not enough action figure games. Accordingly, HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed does a great job of ticking that box. If you cherish collectathons, and you adore shooting titles, then this is the game for you. Moreover, the ability to play this solo or with friends cooperatively or competitively enhances the gameplay experience. Consequently, I love this whacky, fun, and nostalgia-infused game. Missing this title would be madness! Madness, I tell you! As such, don’t be foolish and buy
I loved this on PC and I love it on console. This is such a fun and interesting title that can be enjoyed casually. Moreover, the straightforward mechanics are easy to master, and the tactical layers will test your logical mindset. Accordingly, this is an excellent indie title and I recommend buying it here! Can you stop the King and become a hero? Choose your weapons, study the map, and chase him to the ends of the Earth.
The vast empty side-scrolling world should have sent me to sleep. However, the bizarre imagery and stunning landscapes were fascinating. Alongside this, I adored the audio and the simple mechanics. Yes, I’d have liked it to be harder, but this wasn’t to be. As such, despite my minor complaints, I adore Sclash and recommend buying it here! Can you bridge the feud? Explore the world, tackle each foe, and uncover the truth.
Though this doesn’t stand out from its predecessor, I liked the new core gameplay mechanics. Additionally, the story was interesting and the customisation was as great. I loved the elemental weaponry and the balanced use of different weapons. However, the random target system undermines the tactical nuance and that was disappointing. Subsequently, despite the shortcomings I recommend buying it here! Can you escape the revolution? Grab your Wazner, choose your loadout, and hope that luck is on your side.
I enjoyed the basic mechanics and the simple gameplay. However, Bunhouse has a limited appeal. Disappointingly, there wasn’t enough depth to keep me going for longer. Additionally, the lack of guidance or quests ensured that my interest waned long before it should. However, I appreciate that I’m not its key demographic. Subsequently, I know that this will appeal to a host of sim-loving gamers. As such, though it wasn’t for me, I still recommend buying it here! Hop around, plant some seeds, and grow as many plants as you wish.
Driving a Metro train in an oppressive country will test your patience. Yet, there is something oddly rewarding when you get things right. Yes, this game has its issues, but it is relaxing, challenging, and ideal for train enthusiasts. Consequently, though I have my complaints, I recommend buying it here! Can you master the Russian Metro? Jump in your cab, plan your route, and get to work.
I can’t imagine ROBOBEAT being on too many radars, and that’s a shame. This strange rhythm-based FPS blends some much-loved elements, creating a well-trodden but enjoyable experience. I adored the exceptional aesthetics and the testing gameplay. However, a lack of originality holds it back. Yet, despite this minor complaint, I love it and recommend buying it here! Can you complete your job and get your bounty? Pick a gun, choose your perks, and allow the beat to do the rest.
The indie market is saturated. Therefore, it is tough to stand out from the crowd. Luckily, Bootleg Steamer does just that with its fresh gameplay, authentic aesthetics, and addictive nature. What’s more, putting the boot into the government’s ridiculous laws is the cherry on top of a crime-riddled cake. Unsurprisingly, I love this naughty prohibition-breaking title and recommend buying it here! Profit is profit, no matter how many laws you break. Pick a ship, choose your crew, and avoid the coastguard.
If you love puzzle titles, and you are a fan of retro gaming, then this should be on your radar. It is somewhat basic, and I was disappointed by the missing story. However, the action was challenging and it kept me interested for hours. Accordingly, I enjoyed it and I recommend buying it here! Can you collect every coin and escape? Plan your route, find the magical objects, and unlock that gate.
I desperately wanted to enjoy The Invincible more than I did. Unfortunately, it never grabbed me the way I expected. Yes, it is beautiful, and the audio was fantastic. Furthermore, I adore the protagonist and her plight. However, its gameplay is distinctly mixed and this was unfortunate. Yet, despite my disappointment, it is unique and unusual, and I recommend giving it a chance by buying it here! Can you piece together the mystery? Explore your surroundings, solve the puzzles, and discover a strange alien world.
I’m not always a fan of dark and depressing media. The world is hard enough without relaxing to more of the same. Yet, Loretta tells an interesting and captivating story. Furthermore, I loved the sinister choices and the excellent story. Alongside this, it has a cruel and grim aesthetic that is fantastic to look at. Consequently, I love this and I recommend buying it here! Would you kill another human to reclaim your life? Make your choices, live with the consequences, and escape your bland existence.
Though Amnesia: The Bunker isn’t as far-fetched as its predecessor, it is still wonderfully absurd. Additionally, the core mechanics are petrifying, and you’ll be fearful of the dark once you’ve completed your playthrough. Disappointingly, though, it is far too short as you don’t get much change out of 7 hours of horror fun. Yet, despite this shortcoming, I recommend buying it here! Can you keep the lights on and escape your destiny? Find the fuel, solve the puzzles, and avoid The Stalker.
I love it when a developer gets things right. Yes, there are minor issues with Phantom Fury, but it is mostly a raving success. I adored the visuals and the incredible audio. What’s more, the range of enemies and the challenging gameplay will keep you on your toes. However, a few bugs were annoying, and I’m hoping that these problems are ironed out. Despite this small indiscretion, this title is great, and I recommend buying it here! Can you save humanity? Grab some weapons, master your bionic arm, and make every goon pay.
This is one tough cookie to crack. Yet, it is this challenging nature that makes it so rewarding. Additionally, the varied gameplay and drip-fed mechanics keep you on your toes. Undoubtedly, this is a better experience with a friend, but I also enjoyed it solo. Consequently, this is a wonderful title and I recommend buying it here! Running a factory is never easy. As such, plan ahead, grab a friend and get to work.
Standing out from your peers is not easy. Yet, Trinity Fusion smashes its opponents and wins the race. This indie title plays with much-loved mechanics and makes them its own. Moreover, the action is a fantastic blend of difficulty and reward. As such, I love it and I recommend buying it here! Becoming a hero is never easy. Stay alive, tackle every foe, and destroy the multiverse.
Though this isn’t perfect, I enjoyed my time with it. The puzzles and mini-games are interesting, and the characters are colourful. Moreover, the dialogue is interesting and amusing and the setting is fascinating. However, its janky mechanics and lack of tutorial were disappointing. Yet, despite these shortcomings, I love it and recommend buying it here! Will you become a hero? Solve some puzzles, assist some robots, and save your friend.
If the developers could tweak the balancing issues, then Outer Terror would be a challenger to Vampire Survivors. However, it doesn’t quite compare and this may disappoint. Yet, if you want a simplified and fun nod to 80s/90s horror, then this is the game for you. I love the aesthetics and the wonderful learning curve. Accordingly, I recommend buying it here! Can you complete each chapter? Choose a hero, explore each vast land, and kill every boss you face.
