James Cunningham's Reviews
Enshrouded is a survival action-RPG set in a wide-open world of combat, building, crafting and exploration, each feeding into the other.
Over the Hill removes all timers and all pressure, leaving the player to decide how they want to drive to its offroading goals.
Minecraft Dungeons II is an action-RPG that's basically a Diablo-lite, rather than the Dragon Quest Builders type of game one might expect.
Well Dweller is a fantastic traditional metroidvania, with incredibly well-designed challenges supplemented by a perky and upbeat dark fairytale.
With five worlds of over a dozen levels apiece, Knuckle Jet brings with it a great amount of platforming action, always fast paced and responsive.
Valheim is an absolutely massive survival adventure, spanning a large randomized world containing danger and beauty in equal measure.
Lou's Lagoon is a crafting platformer adventure set in a colorful archipelago that's just starting to recover from a tempest caused by bickering gods.
Chop Chop Inc. is a crafting game centered around wood, where as a former Furnox desk-jockey you're out to grind your former employer into dust.
Truxton Extreme is a vertical shooter in the classic mode, in that you've got a powerful ship, three lives, lots of enemies, and endless ways to die.
Doloc Town is a trashpunk farming and crafting life sim set in a postapocalyptic world that's got a decent start on the way to healing.
Disgaea Mayhem is an action-RPG that adapts the power grind of the strategy series into something more similar to the Dynasty Warriors games.
Denshattack! is a trick-based game from the Tony Hawk school of design, except literally on rails.
Bubsy 4D is exactly what a new Bubsy game should be: a full 3D level-based platformer featuring the wise-cracking (but no longer insufferable) bobcat.
Luna Abyss is half bullet-hell FPS, half platformer and all Heavy Metal Euro-sci-fi weirdness.
Shapez 2 is an automation game with almost all the rough edges sanded off, built to make creating incredibly complicated layouts as simple as possible
Modulus is a relaxing overhead-view automation game about figuring things out at your own pace, constructing voxel modules to create buildings.
Each level is designed to be a short run made to be beaten in about half a minute or less, barring the number of times you'll die learning the course.
Pokémon Pokopia puts a much more lighthearted spin on the events that lead to a lone Ditto starting a quest to revive the world.
Like all Demon Turf's tools, how you use it is up to you, so if you want a vicious challenge or a guided tour, that's your call. There are enough movement modifiers that even the most difficult sections can be made possible with a little perseverance, putting Beebz and her crew that much closer to successfully platforming their way through their newest adventure.
While Revolgear Zero takes a minute to learn, it's a big fun shooter that's more interested in being played than punishing the player.
