Story, Platformer

I love this game. The story really resonated with me and the art and music are very good.

Roguelike, Strategy

This game is fun, but gets kinda boring after the first few days. I found myself waiting around for my people to get money a lot.

Really fun! Builds on GoNNER very creatively, but gets really repetitive after a few runs. Could use a bit more weapon variety. Maybe I just haven't unlocked enough of them.

Really calming. The tangle levels are probably my favorite. The monthly puzzle is also really fun because of how big it is.

Newer Super Mario Bros Wii

Played this with two-three friends across about 12 play sessions. The game is really fun up until the final 2 worlds where it gets hard in the un fun way. I can see it being better in single player, but me and my friends just kept bumping eachother to death. We still had fun, but during the final play sessions we were very done with the game.

This game is super good. It manages to be scary while also being cheesy. The intro has a really cool moment where it plays with camera angles that I wish happened more in the game. The only thing I didn't like was how it was ended.

Great game with really fun gameplay art and music. Experience was definitely heightened because I played it with friends. The story has a lot of plot holes but it doesn't really feel like it matters because it's so silly anyway.

Idk if it was me or the friend I played it with or the game, but we did not have fun. A lot of the puzzles felt unpolished and most of our gameplay was spent trying to figure out what was even going on.

Games very very good. Played and streamed it to a couple of friends. We all started out very talkative and all ended silent because we were crying.

I'm not big on horror games, but this one's actually really good. Feels like a lite immersive sim. I outsmarted the ai a few times and that felt really cool.

Same style of game as stay out of the house by the same guy. Not as good though. Felt less polished and a lot more unfair. Definitely scarier tho.

Sandbox, Explore

Good game to play while you talk to other people. Not the most fun on your own but it's still good.

Bought it because me and the creator are friends on Twitter. It's pretty fun, but I didn't find myself wanting to do another run after the first one.

Played every game.

Good and free! Not all of the games have much depth, but the ones that do are really good. My favorites are Medieval America, Airships 2 and Counts and Stakes

Fun, but short. I beat it in about 4 hours. The difficulty curve was a bit weird, but it still feels fair. My biggest complaint is that the music gets old very fast.

Shovel Knight Pocket Dungeon (Puzzler's Pack)

Roguelike, Puzzle

They added so much more content to and already big game. And they're not even done. Really high quality and expansive for a free dlc.

Starbound (Frackin Universe + More Mods)

I really hate basegame starbound, but frackin fixes a lot of the stuff I dislike. Most of my other mods are qol and cosmetics that just make it more fun.

This game is really cool, but It's gameplay is just okay. If it was slightly more story focused and had less breaks for gameplay it would be more fun. The music was super good

Really creatvive horror game. Remixes the same idea 5 times in really really cool ways. My favorite mode was the 5th one.

Im in love with everything brainwash gang makes. This game is so stylish and so fun. Really enjoyed playing it!

(100%) Streets of Rogue

100%ing this was really fun because I did it with 3 other friends. Over 3 days we did a bunch of runs and got all of the achievements. It wasn't too hard either.

Played this with the right person and we had a lot of fun! We only started getting tired of it at the very last level. Otherwise it was super good puzzle design.

Roguelike, Arcade

Played this and 100%ed it in a day. Really relaxing! Not much else to say aside from that.

SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE

Roguelike, Shooter

This is really good and has a really good story, but I played it all the way through in a day and by the end I was so done with it.

Im in love with this. Ive done so many runs with so many different builds. I made a really funny build that just locked people out of their oxygen room and slowly asphyxiated them.

Been playing through this with a friend! Really fun and also really funny. I love how puzzle-y they made a sandbox game.

Laika: Aged Through Blood Demo

SOOO GOOD Wowowowo. The story is the first serious story ive really really been invested in since Deltarune. Probably one of my most anticipated games.

Knuckle Sandwich Demo

Really really fun and funny. It does a WaCkY sense of humor is a not offputting and annoying way. The plot is also really funny. Gobling Design Tower

Sandbox, Explore

Really fun, Really creative, Really silly. Its just more Sludge Life in all of the good ways. 100%ing it was super relaxing and ciggy city suites is a really interesting contrast to the rest of the game. BIG MUD 4 LIFE!

Sandbox, Explore

This game is good, but also bad. The beginning is amazing and suspenseful, but as you learn about the world and how it works, the scariness of the night and the deep waters fades until it becomes a slog. Longer Thoughts coming soon.

This game is pretty good, but feels way to easy. On my fourth run I beat the game in a very anticlimactic way. The item's effects are not shown off well enough so its hard to feel your character changing.

Silly free alternative to Spy Party! Its not as good since its free, but is still good for a few rounds.

Ugh this game felt like a slog. The fun parts were really fun, but the covid 19 parody level killed it for me. It wasn't very funny and went on for waaaay to long while also killing the game's otherwise good pacing.

Probably the best bullet hell i've played in a while! Made me feel how I felt when i first played gungeon! The weapon keyword system is a really cool idea!

Roguelike, Immersive Sim

Slowly Slowly 100%ing this masterpiece of a game. Every run feels so unique without having much difference. The Millionare achievement sucks tho lol.

I occasionally pick up this game and play a few cases. The overall gameplay is super good, but some of the cases need balancing. They're sometimes way to easy or way to hard. Really excited to see what they add.

Immersive Sim, Survival

Gahhh played this in co-op with a friend and it was the most fun co-op experiences i've ever had! They had seen the game before so it was fun discovering everything with a guide of sorts. Moon seems nice.

Amazing game. Never played something this fast paced and i'm still impressed with how well designed it is. The levels are huge, but navigating them is a breeze. Again, amazing game!

Adventure, Puzzle

Played these in call with a few friends. They were funny to make fun of, but the puzzles weren't very good.

Roguelike, Horror, Co-op

Super fun to play with the right group of people. If you all get immersed its the most tense exploration game you'll play. The audio effects are a super cool touch.

Puzzle, Platformer

I love this game!!! The demo is just a smaller version of the full game. Read more on the full review below.

Another Crab's Treasure Demo

Really polished and fun! Aggro Crab's games are always super good in the shader department and this isnt an exception. Almost every effect is impressive.

Loads of fun with the right group! Roomarang is definitely my favorite. I love how much it encourages being silly and discourages trying to win. The Fibbage 4 movie round was also a creative twist on the format.

Snap The Sentinel Demo

Another fun next fest demo. All 5 levels are a nice difficulty. Unfortunately the S ranks are waaaay to hard to get and feel like they require perfection.

Fun at first, but gets stale kinda fast. The full game will probably last longer because of its increased item pool! Excited to see what is added.

Played this at a friend's house and had way to much fun. My favorite minigame was the rafting one, followed by the on-rails dodging one. Being able to jump up and down to go faster on the rails adds a surprising amount of depth into it. This is one of the multiplayer games that is still fun if you are losing which is an AMAZING trait.

Puzzle, Platformer

This game is soo creative and fun. One of those "man i wish i made this" type games. FInding stupid solutions to the levels and sharing them with friends is the perfect gameplay loop. Wish it has achievments, but oh well :-(

Super Mario Bros Wonder

Wow. What a game! Probably the best platformer i've played since Katana Zero. Just purely amazing gameplay. Longer thoughts here: https://www.sirmilkman.com/blogposts/mariowonder

Really fun to jump and dash around mario 64 levels as Orbo. Letting you clip out of them was a nice touch. The credits are amazing im making an orbo cake.

I've been enjoying this a lot. The world design is probably the most interesting way i've seen progression happen in an open world. I feel like I would really enjoy the other dark souls games because my least favorite parts are the "searcing for the next dungeon" parts.

Multiplayer, Horror

Basically the same as my review of the demo. Its just more of that in the best way. I love learning how the monsters work.

Never played the original risk of rain, but I was obsessed with ror2 a while back. This feels like that but with a lot more quality of life updates! Great game

Really fun layer! The level design is super creative and it's constantly doing cool twists. It's a big step up in difficulty from the previous layer, which I like.

Puzzle, Visual Novel

Played this with 2 other friends all working together to solve the puzzles. The voice acting and art is amazing, but the story is unfortunately lacking. It's ruined by required side quests where you have to figure out characters personal problems by asking them about specific clues. This gets really annoying because these side quests don't contribute anything to the main storyline.

Waaaay better than sonic 4, but it's really short. Beat it in 1 day playing online with a friend.

This is one of the most satisfying 100%s I've done. I left the hardest achievement for last and it felt great to finally complete. I would totally recommend trying to 100% this sometime.
