Genre: Adventure
Lives up to its name, clocking in around an hour or two, but still quite dense. A minimalist and beautiful artstyle paints a charming little world full of cute characters and great writing.
Charming little couples co-op, physics based platformer. Can get a little repetitive and difficulty curve may be a bit steep for some partners.
Cute little couples co-op game. Starts simply enough and is mostly fun throughout, if a little samey throughout the second half with timed and platforming stuff.
An extraordinary game that breaks most if not all conventions and will constantly surprise and challenge you. A seminal must-play. Best to go in blind.
I really liked Oxenfree and was pretty keen for this… and I did enjoy it, but a lot of the comedy didn’t land with me and at times the pacing was pretty drawn out. Would still recommend though.
Roguelite, deckbuilding, dice-rolling fun. Really clever design that surprisingly works a lot better than you’d think. Presentation belies its complexity at times.
Challenging, twitchy bossrush game with the combat elements you’d expect: slash, parry, dash, etc. Boss design is varied and tight, as are the controls. Aesthetics are pretty cool too.
I fucking love Blendo’s story games. Brendon Chung is so clever and funny, I will play everything he puts out. Quadrilateral Cowboy is no exception, but has the standard roughness around the edges.
Really, really good co-op game that actually requires co-operation and will test you communication. Graphics and puzzles are much improved here. Great to play with people not that into videogames.
Good co-op game that actually requires co-operation and will test your communication. Decent sequel, but suffers from one players side being a lot more passive.
