Metroidvania fans should be thrilled to have another viable indie contender in the space to enjoy, even if it has some flaws
While there’s no doubt that the gameplay is Spelunky-inspired, the option for co-op play and a slightly milder challenge help it shine
80s nostalgia and some vibes from other retro media can’t quite compensate for quirks and some odd puzzles
While perhaps amusing while you see all of the weird micro games it has to offer, it lacks staying power
Finally, a LEGO game that truly captures the essence of both its creative and functional play in digital form
While it has visual flair, challenging combat mixed with not-so-great mechanics make it “Souls-like” in more ways than one

The classic Breakout / Arkanoid formula meets RPG in this budget-priced retro arcade action title
Mixing the old-school mobile hill climb with the likes of boss battles and just a few hits of acid
Top-down zombie shooting that’s satisfying only to a point, but it offers a decent few hours
While this gravity-defying and somewhat mind-bending 3D puzzler can be aggravating it’s also quite unique

Despite its mostly endearing characters and gentle style, it’s hard to be enthusiastic about these self-proclaimed losers

Whether or not it resembles its cinematic inspiration I can’t say, but after a rocky start it does at least prove interesting
If you’re down for a mix of creepy, weird, and somehow charming as well, buckle up!
An odd concept blends with a poorly-chosen control scheme to get this roguelike hopelessly lost
Cool aesthetics and general vibes aren’t enough to compensate for awkward combat and disjointed execution
Remember, as long as you learn from them, no experiments are ever a failure
