Part visual novel, part Pokemon Snap-ish, part old-school jokey adventure-ish (further in), this collection of ideas never gels
While it won’t win any awards for its general level of quality, there’s a sense of Zen to be found in cleaning up the planet zone by zone
While I know there are more casually-minded people out there, Minabo may be a bit too tame even for that crowd
Suburbanites will likely recognize the tasks of maintaining a yard and home in some form here, but life is thankfully a bit less janky
While undoubtedly ambitious and quite beautiful, the overall play experience doesn’t quite deliver on its promise
While it tries to create some extra interest with some cool and somewhat cinematic transitions, the core play experience is a mixed bag
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
