Party Maker has a lot of charm, and despite some of the features feeling a bit unpolished, I would've loved to recommend it. Unfortunately, there's a game-breaking bug and no way to fix it.
Still Joking had a lot of potential in its plot, but the 400,000 words did little to introduce us to it and bring it to life, settling instead for short, inorganic quips, rushed ideas, and clichés.
Ooblets had enormous potential, but the sheer amount of grinding and shallow mechanics really disappointed me. Unless you don't mind dull and repetitive gameplay loops, I don't recommend trying it.
The final act aside, OXENFREE II: Lost Signals is an underwhelming experience, especially when compared to its predecessor.
A great idea that got bogged down by bad execution in multiple areas.
Although the game has potential, it falls short overall due to a lack of proper care and clunky gameplay.
There isn't much for me to recommend in Ravenbound - its beautiful landscapes and somewhat fun combat won't be worth the hours of fighting RNG, a lack of deck-building mechanics, and basically non-existent healing options.
Whispers in the West - Co-op Murder Mystery has a great premise, funny dialogue, and fun gameplay, but most of the content is hidden behind DLC.
The Exit 8 is a short horror experience that feels more like an introduction to VR psychological horrors than anything else.
It's a very short and simple experience, as the Steam page suggests, but it's definitely worth the time if you like the idea of cleaning an alien ocean to help the fishies out.
Considering Torchlight Infinite is a free-to-play title, the hours of fun I got — with both free-to-play and paid characters — is a good sign. If you’re interested, check it out; at best, you get a great title to love at no additional fee.
Although Roxy Raccoon isn't a fast-paced platformer, it works quite well as a relaxing collect-a-thon, and is worth giving a look-see if you like raccoons, cute cosmetics, and a ton of collectibles!
A unique and solid experience that blends solitaire with FMV and horror. Great for anyone looking to get into the card game or bring some freshness to it!
Lore of the Frog is a short adventure that'll give you a breather from life's hecticness. If you're looking to relax for a moment and put hats on adorable frogs, I suggest checking it out!
Despite a non-existent and samey plot, Hoa offers a great, beautiful experience with tiny details that engulfed me into its world.
Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem isn't too much about the mayhem and the speed and more about building the tracks and hitting good curbs. Still, it's worth checking out for its graphics and interesting puzzle elements!
YEAH! YOU WANT "THOSE GAMES," RIGHT? SO HERE YOU GO! NOW, LET'S SEE YOU CLEAR THEM! offers a fun time if you like silly puzzle and minigames. Just be wary that the controls are cumbersome!
If you like stealth horror titles, 90s things, and alien games, you should definitely give Greyhill Incident a shot - just be warned, it runs quite short!
If you enjoy casual and relaxing games, you'll find a lot to like in Lonesome Village!
TAPE: Unveil the Memories is a pretty solid narrative story if you're into dark themes and exploring the subconscious.
