Super fresh & unique take on the somewhat tired space thriller genre. Quite a compelling story and pretty good voice acting coupled with surprisingly creative mechanics. Very good.

Highly polished for an early access game; Deep Rock Galactic is a very fun mining and combat co-op game that does almost everything right, I just wish there was more variation in biomes and enemies.

A raw and delightful exploration game based around a character that has no animation, and whose locomotion is entirely physics-based. It’s a short, experimental game that deserves being checked out.

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 co-op platform puzzler. Movement is simple making it approachable for people who don’t play a lot of games. Lots of levels… and cute hats.

Great co-op game requiring concise communication. Cute aesthetic. Good for couples.

Great co-op game requiring concise communication. Cute aesthetic. Good for couples. Improves on almost everything in its predecessor and now includes online mode.

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.
