With a mix of classic cinematic platforming and adventure Babel does it’s own thing, but it isn’t all positives
With its quirky sense of humor, eclectic style, and overall oddity, this weirdly reminds me of an 8-bit era adventure
With its combat forcing you to move between a twin-stick shooting style and slashing, Batora manages to keep itself interesting and varied
While there are obvious similarities with Pokemon Snap, Alekon distinguishes itself with more freedom and plenty of odd mini games
Between it only being with the touchscreen and a pretty ridiculous asking price this doesn’t make much sense as a buy
Though undoubtedly novel in its implementation and the variety of mini arcade games it sports, inconsistencies and quirks hold it back
While it may look and somewhat feel more in line with farm life sims, there’s a hard edge to the combat that feels out of place overall
An interesting visual style helps to compensate, at least to some degree, for play that’s not bad but perhaps a bit too familiar
While it may have a terrific visual style and appealing characters, the crippling difficulty takes the steam out of the experience quickly
The concept of using this tile puzzler as an opportunity for people to learn Japanese characters is an interesting one, play is still quite plain
In what amounts to a more actively-controlled version of something like Lemmings is novel, but ultimately bland
Interesting characters, some drama, and a pretty light but engaging take on real-time strategy help this stand out some
Plagued by excessive and all-too-frequent load times, the novelty and humor of The Last Worker often lose momentum
With a feel somewhere between a casual tablet game and a console-like experience, this is simply a different experience
While it has the look and some of the spirit of retro arcade racers like Daytona, the driving itself is a bit of a letdown
Tries to walk the double-edged sword of being simplistic and approachable, risking being a bit dull
This pretty cool throwback to the age of classic cinematic adventures like Out of This World (and others) is a retro treat
With an old-school look and feel but smarter and more modern controls, Anyaroth offers a distinctive experience
While it has an accessible look and feel for gamers of all ages and levels, its lack of ambition makes it a tough sell
Delivers some classic and challenging platform shooter action with bits of modern flair and variety
