While on the gameplay side the dungeon-crawling meets deckbuilding works nicely, the game’s creative direction (or lack thereof) makes it tougher to whole-heartedly appreciate
Combining elements of strategy, action, and roguelike randomness, there’s plenty of chaos to enjoy here
There’s just something about being able to punch Nazis and solve elaborate puzzles on the go that is uniquely satisfying
Perhaps unsurprisingly, this game is utter s#!t unless you’re entertained by the same 5 basic levels (with the same basic gameplay) on repeat forever
Taking the side-scrolling precision platformer and adding a variety of traversal skills to the mix amps up the difficulty and variety, so be ready for some frustrations
While in general I’m not a fan of clicker titles, there’s just enough meat on this game’s bones to make a case for itself
While it tries to bring some attitude to the table to spice things up, there’s no question that its gameplay is bland and gets repetitive quickly
More so than most old school games converted to be played on modern consoles, this one has me wondering “Why?”
While it pretty cool and moody aesthetic, and its dimension-switching puzzling can be engaging, not everything works as well as it could
If you’re up for a mix of making recommendations to customers and enjoying some colorful characters with their quirks and drama, this could be a good time
While I can appreciate the desire to build on the original title and add new elements, stepping away from the original’s simplicity may not have worked as well as hoped
Has some interesting ideas that add some challenges to the classic table-waiting sim, but that also makes its intended audience more of a question mark
While this co-op puzzle platformer has some simple charms, multiple crashes and consistent button confusion detract heavily from any enjoyment
Offers up a fair amount of side-scrolling hack-and-slash challenges, but compared to its contemporaries lacks a clear addictive pull to keep you coming back for more
A charming and pleasingly odd old-school whirlwind mystery-adventure through the afterlife
Works as an accessible and family-friendly 3D platformer, but has some design issues
An interesting mix of claw machine mechanics with turn-based combat and roguelike elements
With a distinctive look and some unique ideas this Metroidvania stands out, but not everything comes together
If you don’t mind the up-front grind as you trial-and-error your way through the many ways the game will try to kill you, there’s humor and some fun to be had
An old-school adrenaline-heavy action shooter that’s steeped in equal parts humor and craziness
