Genre: Adventure

Intriguing episodic narrative adventure. The setting, characters, writing and RPG elements are all quite strong - but they’re often offset by clunky controls and hollow decisions/outcomes.

Stunningly authentic tone, visuals, sound and music. If you liked the old Prince of Persia style action/platforming/puzzles, this is almost a must-play. It’s short, but doesn’t outstay its welcome.

A very imperfect and quite buggy, but still worth-playing soulslike. While it lacks polish, it’s very sincere and has some interesting ideas. Bosses are a bit simple/easy. Combat is a bit clunky.

I’m not usually a huge fan of turn/tile-based X-COM style strategy games, but Othercide’s setting, aesthetic, lore and indeed roguelike aspects hooked me. Has its issues, but absolutely worth a look.

Devolver are crazy, man. Love ‘em.

A surreal sojourn through a psychedelic natural museum. Won’t be for everyone, but a fun little experience.

It’s as if someone said “what if Firewatch was a sandbox survival?” And… it’s kinda cool. Visually beautiful and very inviting. Lots of promise, so will watch the roadmap.

Subnautica in space” wouldn’t be fair - some aspects are a lot more tedious and limiting, but it’s still a super fun & engaging survival game dedicated to humour and environmental storytelling.

Interesting and fun take on this kind of 2d platformer. Movement and combat are fun and satisfying, and puzzles are pretty clever. Short but definitely worth it.

Really cool game. Interesting roguelike with a great setting, characters and indeed artstyle. Definitely worth playing, just a shame the multiplayer is so… strange and clunky.
