TP Bullet is a simple-yet-fun platformer with a unique twist. It might lack many features but the puzzle-platformer mechanics are solid, providing a true brain teaser.
Tales from Candleforth uses escape room-like mechanics to help its protagonist not only find her missing grandmother and uncover the secrets she left behind, but also to realize her own powers. With creepy imagery, this 2D, hand-drawn game is sure to catch and hold the attention of point-and-click puzzle/adventure gamers.
If you're a die-hard South Park fan looking for a humorous game to play with friends, South Park: Snow Day could be a good choice for a short, mildly fun experience. However, if you're seeking a lengthy, more enthralling adventure like the previous South Park titles, this game will fall short of your expectations.
Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER revisits the world of Neo San Francisco, presenting new characters and an interesting story to unravel. The voice work and graphics are lovely, though the run time is a little on the short side. If you enjoyed 2064, you'll likely enjoy this stripped-down experience; just be aware that there's less to this outing than its predecessor.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open-world immersive world action RPG. You can go anywhere. You can make a lot of choices in terms of what your character will do. There are so many options and choices, in fact, that it becomes intoxicated with how immersive it is and forgets to be fun to play.
Wrath: Aeon of Ruin is a well-made game with a classic first-person shooter look and feel. There is some story to be had, but we're really here to kill freaky critters and save the world, right?
Overall, if you're looking for a game that's on the shorter side and a fun roguelite experience, NecroBouncer is a great choice.
Musashi vs. Cthulhu is as basic as an action game can be; combat is reduced entirely to aiming and timing your sword strikes. This makes it easy to get into and fun to play, but that fun likely won't hold for those who aren't interested in score-chasing or leaderboards.
Goliath Depot effectively pays tribute to early '80s arcade gameplay, and would've fit right in next to the machines that inspired it. Although aimed at classic gamers, modern features such as leaderboards, level randomizers, and a speedrun mode should help it appeal to a wider audience.
Please Fix the Road is a charming puzzle game full of brain-teasing paths to fix. It sports cute aesthetics and a simple concept that keeps you on your toes in a relaxing environment. This budget title offers plenty of puzzles to keep you coming back until you solve them all.
Rainbow Cotton is a lot of fun. It's one of those games you can grab quickly and not have to drop hours on. The cutscenes between levels will make the kids giggle at the antics of Cotton and her friend as they journey to get candy.
Overall, Pine Hearts is a short and (bitter)sweet title. If you're looking for a new cozy adventure that tells an amazing story in a sensitive manner, then certainly give this one a go.
Ikki Unite adds a Vampire Survivors spin to a 1985 game you've probably never even heard of. It works, but only if you're able to take advantage of the online multiplayer. On your own, it's just repetitive nonsense.
I had fun with PAC-MAN Mega Tunnel Battle: Chomp Champs when I first started playing. However, the longer I played, the more bored I got.
Rose and Camellia Collection offers a glimpse into an intriguing yet tragically under-developed world that has moments of great humour, but teases a much better game than it is. It is brief, inconsistent, and relies on its one unique (and undeniably fun) mechanic far too much to feel complete.
In Paper Trails, you help a girl, Page, follow her dream of attending university awaits. The player helps Page avoid obstacles by folding papers into paths on which she can travel. It's a fun, challenging mechanic that provides hours of clever gameplay for puzzle enthusiasts.
Moonglow Bay failed to hook me, but as the debut game from a small studio, it's a solid enough start overall for the subset of gamers who haven't yet had their fill of titles like this. I hope the team can tighten their focus and gameplay mechanics for their next release.
Endless Ocean Luminous continues the relaxing series, changing a few things but keeping the core mechanics in place. It's easy to lose yourself in this environment, though newcomers like myself might enjoy it moreso. I genuinely enjoyed my time in the water and will continue diving for some time to come.
Overall, Ready, Steady, Ship! is a solid game. The controls were unfriendly at times, but the music was fun to listen to, and the level design was well done.
Demon Slayer -Kimetsu no Yaiba- Sweep the Board! offers a unique take on party board games and anime-based games in general. It's an easy recommendation for fans of the series, but those simply seeking a truly fresh spin on a somewhat perfunctory formula should enjoy it regardless of their mastered breathing style.
