Nova Strike has promising vertically-scrolling shmup fundamentals. Unfortunately, its repetitive Roguelike structure magnifies its shortcomings.
Salt and sacrifice brought me nothing but suffering, but I can't stop playing. Once I figured it out, I became unstoppable.
The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is a decent way to play seven old games but doesn't do anything to celebrate the titles or franchise they come from.
As a lifelong Star Trek fan I want to love the new 4X grand strategy game, but there's so much going on that I can't connect with any of it.
Escape from Terror City is an unpolished low-poly shmup that seeks to answer the question, "What would Contra have been like as an N64 game?".
A Highland Song combines 2D platforming, adventure game elements, survival mechanics, and rhythm sections into a compelling but occasionally confusing package.
Adore puts an action twist on the monster-catching formula to try to make Pokemon for people who get bored playing Pokemon.
Gal Guardians is a solid homage to a certain Castlevania game, but probably not the one most players are expecting based on the previews.
I have no idea how Dread Delusion would strike newcomers, but retro throwbacks like these aren’t appealing to that audience first. This is a game built for people like me; people who loved being lost in Morrowind; people who still think Stilt Striders are the superior form of fast travel; and people who were addicted to Skooma before they were old enough to drink. If you grew up on Morrowind, I think you’ll love Dread Delusion just as much as I do.
WWE 2K24 is a fantastically meaty package. The core gameplay feels really good, and there are so many different modes to frame that gameplay that you can easily spend an obscene amount of time on this release. At launch, the handheld gameplay experience was pretty horrible thanks to all sorts of weird graphical issues, but with those mostly ironed out the Steam Deck is now a perfectly reasonable place to play it.
Fans of tactics games will have a blast with this one, especially if you are inclined towards WW2.
Backpack Hero is a rogue-lite, dungeon crawler, inventory management game that is so much deeper than it appears on its surface.
Even if you have no idea who Yohan The Parhelion is, Blaze in the Deepblue is still a fun Metroidvania with a great sense of style.
This is a stunningly beautiful destruction simulator that tasks you with pulling off high-stake heists.
With cards to collect and nodes to explore, Gordian Quest brings some of my favorite rogue-lite mechanics into a persistent world for an epic adventure.
Raiden III x Mikado Maniax is a great excuse to revisit an entry in an iconic shmup series for veterans and a good place to start for newcomers.
Don't let the adorable characters fool you, AK-xolotl is a tough Rogue-lite shmup that'll have you coming back for one run after another!
Fans of Celeste will love the fast-paced platforming and clever level design in Garlic, as long as they can get past its weird sense of humor.
I really loved my time with this game, and it’s one I can see myself coming back to just to tool around with its unique combat abilities or to try to find those last secrets. I just wish that the late-game design was somehow tweaked to better keep up the fantastic pacing that had me hooked up to that point.
Cosmic Collapse trades in Suika's fruit for celestial bodies and makes a few smart tweaks to the formula; it's a standout Suika-like puzzle game on PC and Steam Deck.
