If you don’t mind its glitches and sandbox-y lack of direction, this can be a weird and fun collect-a-thon trip
While its exploration of its characters feelings and relationships in the wake of tragedy is great, its rhythm elements fall flat, making for an uneven mix
This relatively brief mix of psychological horror story and adventure beats has its moments, but doesn’t shine as bright as some of the competition
A distinctive, and sometimes dark, take on a stealth title that requires some patience with its quirks, but can be rewarding
An odd and decidedly quirky puzzle game that rewards creativity and sometimes just plain patience, but that won’t be for everyone
It’s interesting to see older games that did things their own way, but in terms of general play this classic RPG feels a bit too simple
In terms of play, it is a solid Metroidvania experience, but it’s also a bit less distinctive than many of its peers on the system
While it offers a fair amount of strategy and sometimes tense action, it has too much in common with its predecessor to truly stand out
While a variety of weapons and turrets give it at least some variety, the action here is a bit too narrow in scope to be more exciting
An odd and fun take on the classic mystery-solving adventure formula that has loads of unique flavor
While I love the aesthetics and a chance to fly some “Robotech” fighters, the ponderous story and inconsistent shooting disappoint
With somewhat touchy controls, and a lack of enough variety in its stages, Mechanita is merely middling
Despite being pretty humble in presentation, this budget precision platformer improves as it warms up
As a historical relic of sports games from a transitional age it’s interesting, but it can also be quite aggravating
Simplistic mechanics, inconsistent puzzles, and some unforced errors make this tough to love
While it has the retro techno-noir look and general tone covered, clunky mechanics and weak combat hold it back
By taking the general formula of Vampire Survivors and its ilk and removing direct control, this becomes an exercise in frustration
A pretty casual overall approach to strategy and base building with a decent story, but comes across as too simplistic
The minimalist approach to this roguelike adventure works to a degree, but just doesn’t feel terribly varied or exciting
An oddball mix of action, strategy, and herding your Lemming-like comrades makes for an uneven but entertaining time
Charming, family-friendly, full of exploration and discovery, and absolutely a chill good time all around for the right crowd
A surprisingly fun, fast-paced, and raucous beat-em-up that stands out nicely on the system
Just as brutal as its predecessor, but its combat is still well-implemented, and it’s a serious challenge if you’re up for it
While most of the elements are in place for something more grand, clunky combat and washed out visuals fall short of greatness
This follow-up maintains the well-written course of its predecessor, but fails to feel as fresh the second go-round
A thoroughly underwhelming sandbox with no guidance and ultimately pretty limited elements to work with
The concept of a roguelike rhythm-based shooter is a good one, but in the end Robobeat lacks compelling staying power
A completely different sort of Metroidvania hook, but be ready for some challenges, and not all likely intended
While it may look simple on the surface, switching between characters reveals some careful design that’s appreciated
Keeps things classic with its retro platforming shooter style, and a pinch of difficulty makes it feel more contemporary
An escape room experience with a nice theming hook, but one that gets off to a bit of a punishing start compared with its peers
Visually lush, and has a pretty impressive array of characters with diverse play styles, but can be hard to love
Interesting as a vehicle for sharing folklore from another culture, but in terms of gameplay it remains pretty dull
In terms of the style of play it mirrors its predecessor, but in terms of its look and some of its feel it’s a step up
It has a different sort of look, and the 3 firing modes are appreciated, but in general it’s just a generic shooter

If you’re patient and persistent, there are puzzles to solve and secrets to uncover, but it can be a tough experience to love
Walking in as a newcomer I was taken aback by a polished action RPG with a unique style and feel
Has a fresh look and play elements, but those are bogged down by awkward mechanics and some general repetitiveness
While on its face it looks simple and ordinary, if you let it warm up it turns out to have a surprising (but fair) edge to it
While this may look like a pretty basic family-friendly 3D platformer (and it is to a degree), it struggles in key areas to meet that goal
An overly simplistic puzzler that repeats a formula seen far too often, without anything distinguishing it, already on the system
A pretty slow-paced and underwhelming twin-stick shooting affair
Absolutely charming, family-friendly, and approachable when it works… but lacks in obvious longevity
