A well-made game for fans of the bullet-hell genre, with a rich narrative for lore lovers and physical proof that you can make anything with time, patience and money for a professional composer.
Whilst Lucius is an incredibly fun and unique puzzle game, the sheer number of bugs and slightly annoying ending somewhat brought the game down at the end.
Charming to look at, with a simple yet rewarding gameplay loop, Sail Forth is a great indie title that will have players exploring its oceans for many hours!
Vengeful Guardian: Moonrider is a great mix of ninja-themed titles that gamers may have experienced on the SNES. It has a wide variety of gameplay elements that make every stage feel fresh and new from the others. This challenging game will be a must-play for people who love ninjas and a challenge!
Expedition Zero manages to scare without using any jumpscares, doesn't overstay its welcome, and delivers a great creepy and atmospheric post-apocalyptic experience.
Jitsu Squad is a 2D beat 'em up game full of action and lots of fun animal characters to play as. If you are looking for a four-player game, wait until there is a patch. If you want a fun single-player experience with great music and loads of action, you can't go wrong with Jitsu Squad.
Falling Out is a platformer not unlike Spelunky, with four different modes you can enjoy and fun platforming! There are some design flaws - most notably in the combat - but none were game-breaking.
My Fantastic Ranch is a simple game that has you building and maintaining a ranch full of adorable fantasy creatures. It is easy to learn for children and adults, so this relaxing game is worth checking out if you like management titles like this.
Some truly satisfying management and creativity options lay deep within the confines of Coffee Shop Tycoon, but frustrating early game micromanagement and a weak UI might prevent many players from reaching that rich centre.
Treehouse Riddle's familiar puzzles are simple enough to be welcoming to newcomers and complex enough that they'll challenge veterans. I just wish that more new and innovative puzzles had been implemented.
Smooth controls, a varied and inclusive cast of characters, and a phenomenal amount of things to do make this such an easy 10/10 for me. The only downside I can think of is that it has an ending.
TAPE: Unveil the Memories is a pretty solid narrative story if you're into dark themes and exploring the subconscious.
A great idea that got bogged down by bad execution in multiple areas.
Bots Are Stupid is a 2D precision platformer with innovative controls and gameplay. Solving its puzzles can be tedious, but overcoming the challenges is highly satisfying. Ultimately, it's great for players interested in coding, level creation, and speedrunning.
When it opens up it might be just what you want, the only issue is that you might not play it long enough for it to open up…
Party Maker has a lot of charm, and despite some of the features feeling a bit unpolished, I would've loved to recommend it. Unfortunately, there's a game-breaking bug and no way to fix it.
Short and lacking a little variety, Accident is a decent simulator that could do with a bit more substance in order to truly give it a recommendation.
Potion Craft lets players put on their chemist hats and strategically brew a plethora of potions. A medieval backdrop provides a casual environment to discover new recipes, earn some coin, and become a master alchemist.
Its simplistic nature might not be to everyone's taste, but The Block is a game for those who appreciate a few minutes of relaxation. A chilled experience that's prime for unwinding.
Hello Neighbor 2 is an improvement over the earlier game but still has a few issues to work out. That being said I did find it to be an enjoyable and challenging experience.
