Hunt the Night attempts at being a difficult top-down action game, but because of its frustrating gameplay and poor design the real difficulty is wanting to pick it up again.
Offering a fun piratical adventure, excellent animation and a fun, engaging story with full voice acting, Curse of the Sea Rats is a great single or multiplayer romp despite some stumbling blocks.
Road 96 Mile 0 is a wildly disappointing follow-up to one of my favorite indie games of all time. Unless you love poor writing, acting, animation, dialogue, controls, and gameplay, pick another route.
Terra Nil puts a cute and quirky twist on the classic city builder and completing each level feels truly rewarding. It is well worth looking into for any cozy games fan.
Gripper sounds like a cool concept, but its execution leaves much to be desired. It simply makes too many bad decisions in game design to be a fun experience, instead it's primarily a frustrating one.
Saga of Sins tries to add medieval artistry to its Metroidvania-style gameplay. But dodgy mechanics, weak storytelling, and obtuse boss battles do not make this anything close to a religious experience.
The Wreck will make you think, connect with your own emotions, and then think again. Imperfections aside, this is a ride I believe everyone should experience.
9 Years of Shadows is an artful blend of fluid, challenging gameplay, beautiful environments, animations and user interface, and music that gets your blood pumping.
DREDGE is a great fishing adventure game, with Lovecraftian horror influences. It's admittedly simple, but it absolutely works, and fortunately it ends before it could ever run out of steam.
Bayonetta Origin shows Bayonetta in a new format visually, mechanically, and narratively, which makes for an unforgettable ride with some serious lore implications for the series going forward.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken is running on vibes alone; delivering a bundle of tremendously creative art design and a promising concept, tied together by the weak string of its functionality.
Dating monsters and exploring a gothic mythical world has its perks, and Romancelvania’s design and music give it a sense of awe and wonder. Unfortunately the developers bit off more than they could chew.
Storyteller is delightful, innovative, and incredible fun in a stylish package. This is one book you won't want to leave on your shelf.
While very well written and highlighted by some excellent fourth-wall breaking horror, Paranormasight far outstays its welcome with hours of unskippable rehashed and replayed text.
With art to die for but pacing that will kill you, Mato Anomalies is a fun time hampered by its own ambition. The city of Mato is worth a short trek, but maybe not as deep a dive as it invites.
Good mechanics and presentation can't make up for Redemption Reapers' lacking plot.
With incredibly engaging combat and the greatest parry this side of Sekiro, the journey through this fallen dynasty only ever goes up.
Though Dungeons of Aether stumbles in some core mechanics, the clever combat system and phenomenal art make for an exciting entry into the roguelite genre.
Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe is an expert remaster, keeping everything from the original but adding optional new content.
Despite having less content, Sons of the Forest in its early access state is a shinier and better version of its predecessor and I look forward to future updates.
