Though it may have a simplistic retro look, this tiny dragon manages to deliver solid classic platforming play with a little flair
A bit of retro-esque platforming fun with a unique challenge, using your method of shooting downwards as your jump
Sometimes one-button play, when done right, can be a compelling challenge despite the simplicity
Persistent clipping and bugginess stack onto meandering but generally aimless play in this relatively pretty adventure
This free-to-play 3-on-3 sports brawler has an interesting idea behind it, but typical play commonly devolves quickly
If you’re a big fan of classic top-down Zelda dungeons, the prospects of making your own and playing them made by others has appeal
The repetition of tasks to break ships down and build your salvage industry could have some appeal, but inherent jankiness doesn’t help
While there are some exciting and fun moments in this FMV adventure, inconsistent performances and plotting hold it back
A creative take on a puzzle platforming adventure that’s challenging but fair, and has plenty of secrets to discover along the way
Feeling a bit like a clicker in principle, just with you moving around with a joystick instead, play here is very limited
While on a general level I can appreciate the very beer-forward humor, if you’re not into the beer scene this will likely go right over your head
Though a bit slow to get rolling, there’s some satisfaction and challenge to be had in this roguelike action RPG title
Though it works as a relatively simple twin-stick shooter with some jumping, overall it just lacks the oomph to get to the next level
It absolutely delivers an escape room experience, though compared to its contemporaries it opens a bit tougher than average
There are bad multiplayer games, terrible multiplayer games… and then there’s Carbage
If you have the connection to support this “cloud play” game, it offers intense and compelling squad-based shooting
With a mix of action and some strategy (perhaps with a twinge of puzzles) NachoCado is unique, but not terribly satisfying
While not a bad challenging budget platformer, the control scheme and feel unfortunately leave something to be desired
With a design somewhere between Breakout and Bust-A-Move, Gematombe has its own vibe, but feels bare bones overall
Sometimes there are games that precisely match their name, and this is one of them
