Arise: A Simple Story is a short but fantastic game. It isn’t the most challenging game out on the market; it isn’t the fastest paced or the most mechanically in-depth… but it doesn’t have to be. It’s calm, quiet, deep, and far more than enough to make it worth playing. If you need to fill a quiet afternoon or two and need a poignant story to pluck your heartstrings, definitely make sure to give Arise: A Simple Story a chance.
Sockventure is a short and silly precision platformer that, while not the pinnacle of innovation, is still a good time for those who enjoy the genre. A touch bizarre and wildly silly, Sockventure is a game for fans of platformers and those who want to get into them. Simple, effective, and fun.
Zombie Rollerz is a quick and fun, arcade style game that is definitely worth the short sprint it takes to finish a couple runs. As long as you're not expecting something deep, this game is a great time waster.
Ancient Islands provides a rigid structure to its map mechanics that is quite a bit tighter than other games in the same genre. Its art style gave off the feel of an old-school tower defense game, and the music and sounds were alright, and it gave off the vibe of a Flash game.
Grand Mountain Adventure: Wonderlands may not have an intensive story or rapid, fast paced action, but it doesn't really need to. All it needs is for you to sit back, relax, and coast down the mountainside.
Vagante is exactly what I think of when I picture a roguelike. For better or for worse. If you can get past the annoying UI and actually dive in, Vagante offers a tight, sharp experience that values your time and experience.
In The Company Man, you risk it all to climb the corporate ladder… or get fired trying. At least, in theory. It's a 2D Action Platformer that looks absolutely fantastic... but underperforms when it comes to the actual gameplay.
Expeditions: Rome is a compelling blend of RPG and strategy that, while perhaps lacking the personability other RPGs have with their units, more than makes up for it everywhere else.
