This time warping puzzler will bring some challenge but is treading relatively familiar ground without much new inspiration
While the game seems to meet its modest goals for run and gun action, the experience is bland and not very rewarding
An odd mix of logical challenges and a need for adept reflexes in spots that may struggle to find its ideal audience
Deceptively challenging given its very colorful and animated appearance, it doesn’t take long to get you hooked
This follow-up offers the same smart and polished management challenges as the first, but adds loads of new content and variations
A quirky personality and story can’t compensate for technical issues, and a lack of compelling gameplay
For more casual gamers this adventure that allows you to try to flex your digital artistry with limited tools may have some appeal
There’s no doubt that in terms of presentation the game looks great, and has distinctive combat, but in terms of overall design it struggles a bit
While having an undeniably dark / attractive look and ambiance, the gameplay and overall design lack refinement
While hardly a looker, this is pretty unique roguelike RPG makes meticulous inventory management compelling
While it can take a few beats to really groove with its strategic play, Howl looks great and provides a fair challenge
Some odd design choices, weak overall play, and pretty barren environments await
Undeniably gorgeous, charming, and wonderfully scored, this puzzle adventure is on the short side but memorable
While perhaps a bit too similar to the original, and only weighing in at a little over a handful of hours, it still has loads of charm
A charming, well-animated, and generally all-around adequate Metroidvania that still comes up a bit short in the space
Undoubtedly giving off a feel of earlier days of grand environments, hacking, and slashing, but missing a spark to go next level
An epic action RPG that compensates for pretty ordinary core combat with a multitude of skills and gear options
The ideas are there for a mix of combat and puzzle-solving, but the clumsy controls make it stumble a bit
Inherently multiplayer games are always a risk, but there’s no doubt this truly cooperative platformer is pleasant
Lacking sensible table designs, physics, or even basic common features, calling this “pinball” is a travesty
