Mixing some odd action-based moments into a turn-based RPG is an odd move, but it contributes to the somewhat hodge podge feel to the whole affair
For an older gamer like me this plays out as a challenging evolution to the classic Lunar Lander, but regardless it’s pretty unique and certainly tough
While this budget puzzle action game throws some challenge your way, the lack of variety and greater nuance keeps it from being more
While it has some graphical quirks that can be distracting at times, this pretty chill mix of exploration and puzzle-solving without any clear threats is a nice change of pace
Undoubtedly an odd and unexpected experience as a whole, but it may be hard to nail down its target audience overall
A mix of two Taito arcade classics, one of which has never come to consoles, that is colorful and should be a good time for the right people
An unusual mixture of rhythmic cooking sim and turn-based RPG elements that can be satisfying, even if its execution isn’t always quite ideal
While you could find the story of some interest, or enjoy the game’s general look, when it comes to gameplay there are just some problems
An intense competitive mash-up of Tetris and Go that works to a degree, but whether or not you’ll get addicted to it is a fair question
A very pleasant and generally chill mix of using various tools to clean areas with some pretty light puzzle elements to boot
A first-person platformer with overly-sensitive controls, and some other general mechanical issues, that frustrates far more than it thrills
It’s great to see the classic franchise return with some feels that are true to its roots mixed with roguelike challenges, but it can also be an acquired taste in some respects
With many well-implemented versions of the Picross formula out there, Solid Void’s implementation feels lackluster, and its addition of simple jigsaw puzzle elements do nothing to help close the gap
If you’re willing to be patient on the more suspenseful moments and scares, there’s at least some payoff here, but there’s also a lot of downtime and general disappointment in between
Repetition, controls that feel a little sloppier than they should, and quite a few bugs prevent this title from ascending terribly high
While it’s a pleasant enough hidden image game with its own special features, not everything is quite as easy-to-use as it could be
While driven by an undeniably different and creative concept that blends together classic RPG beats with arcade shooting, it somewhat struggles to make either as satisfying as they could be
While it has some cool ideas and style to spare, a combination of stiff and sometimes awkward controls, as well as level design that tends to exacerbate those problems, keeps it from reaching it potential
Not necessarily a bad little action adventure roguelike of sorts, but not a particularly polished one either
While its visual presentation is more minimalist, the mystery of the machine in front of you, and the many entries it has hidden within it, are compelling if you have the proper mindset
