One of the most enjoyable co-op experiences.
It scratched the itch I have for more Elden Ring without feeling overly difficult for the sake of being difficult.
Layers of Fear is easy to recommend to new players with an affinity for psychological experiences.
One of the most entertaining modern-retro games I have played in quite some time.
Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is one of the strongest (and easily most difficult) puzzle games I’ve ever played.
There are a lot of cool ideas in this, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired.
About as much fun as an anal probe without consent or anesthesia.
Easily the weakest game in the series.
Manages to take everything I was meh or downright hated about the first and somehow made it significantly worse.
One of the best shooters of 2023, and if you’re a fan of the genre, this is a bargain-priced game that will offer a solid 8+ hours of entertainment. There are a small number of minor issues, but if you like running and gunning, this is an easy game to recommend.
Death or Treat is a pretty barebones entry to the growing pantheon of rogue-lite hack and slash games. It looks nice and plays well enough, but it isn’t sticky.
The visuals have come a long way from the first entry while keeping the retro visuals intact, almost like going from an Oregon Trail vibe to something that could’ve realistically been released on the Super Nintendo
Saga of Sins manages to set itself aside from other Metroidvania-style games thanks to its unique aesthetic that goes all in with the religious themes and throwback gameplay. While it doesn’t get everything right, its sins are minor and could be easily overlooked if you choose to aid Cecil in his journey.
At the end of the day Post Void is a budget title that is well deserving of your cash, despite a heavier reliance on luck than true skill. It’s a unique shooter that is addictive as it is frustrating, and with an asking price of less than the cost of a meal at your favorite fast food spot, you could do much worse with your money.
While Mato Anomalies doesn’t execute any of its pieces exceptionally well, I appreciate the fact that there’s variety available, and the ability to quickly skip to the next thing if you desire. There are interesting ideas here, and I’d be interested to see how the team does with their next game, but this feels mildly undercooked.
Gal Guardians: Demon Purge is a wonderful addition to the genre with lots of ideas taken from Iga-era games, while adding their own high impact gameplay into it.
I went into Wanted: Dead expecting to be an overpowered badass that ripped and tore through the opposition. It delivered for a fleeting moment, but quickly deteriorated...
If you are the creative type, you can easily hop into a Minecraft-ish world to quickly make the 90’s era shooter of your dreams, all using legally safe knockoff assets of games such as Turok, Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, Doom, Bioshock, and many others.
I’d venture to say that this kept my attention more than Battle for Bikini Bottom. If you like current day SpongeBob and platformers, this will probably scratch a specific itch for a few hours.
Being a point-and-click game developed for a system not really known for this genre, NEScape manages to fit a full-on escape room experience on a cartridge if you still have your old grey beast laying around.
