81 71% Chants of Sennaar (2023) - Rated 10 Mar 2024
"A cute and stylish little adventure game. Sadly it's a bit too walking sim-y for my taste, the puzzles are a little too simplistic and repetitive and the stealth sequences are just a drag."
84 82% Death Stranding (2019) - Rated 09 Mar 2024
"A fun and interesting delivery simulator, for the most part. My main gripes were: 1) The needless inclusion of boss battles, especially the pointlessly drawn out battlefield segments; they didn't seem to fit with the rest of the gameplay at all. I would have preferred to just play this as a traversal/stealth game. 2) The seemingly interminable endgame sequence full of droning monologues that almost soured my memory of the entire game."
81 71% SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech (2019) - Rated 01 Mar 2024
"A fun little deckbuilder held back by repetitive area design and a clearly limited budget."
90 92% The Surge (2017) - Rated 03 Aug 2023
"An excellent soulslike; I actually enjoyed it more than most of the Dark Souls games. The labyrinthine and highly interconnected maps are the game's standout feature, but I also liked the character building, the combat, and most of the bosses. Aiming at body parts is a simple gimmick that does a good job at spicing up the gameplay loop. The game is quite short, but I prefer short games; my main complaints are that certain enemies feel a bit overtuned, and the game is actually too dark in places."
90 92% Final Fantasy Tactics (1997) - Rated 30 Jul 2023
"Probably the best game of its genre, with only a few annoyances that slightly diminish it; there's way too many random encounters, which are all level scaled and unavoidable, and the progression system encourages min-maxing to such an extent that it gets slightly ridiculous."
90 92% Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (2007) - Rated 30 Jul 2023
"Probably the best game of its genre, with only a few annoyances that slightly diminish it; there's way too many random encounters, which are all level scaled and unavoidable, and the progression system encourages min-maxing to such an extent that it gets slightly ridiculous."
91 95% Operencia: The Stolen Sun (2019) - Rated 17 Jul 2023
"A very fun dungeon crawler with a good mixture of combat, exploration, and puzzling. Biggest annoyances on Hard mode (with an additional no-resting challenge) were a silly difficulty spike on the final boss and the constant need to respec through a pretty clunky UI to accomodate different enemy resistances and immunites. I also got the impression that a couple of abilities were either not working as intended or described incorrectly."
75 52% Breathedge (2018) - Rated 01 Jul 2023
"Starts off as a slightly worse Subnauticalike with some really dumb design decisions (like the limitations on where you can build storage containers, and making them incredibly small), then devolves into a highly linear "narrative experience" style of game, which is one of my least favourite genres."
83 79% Environmental Station Alpha (2015) - Rated 30 Jun 2023
"Overall a fun Metroidvania with very good boss fights, but some of the area routing really sucks, and the fast travel points are not exactly generously placed. Considering you can only heal in specific locations, that made backtracking and secret hunting needlessly frustrating for me."
86 86% Grime (2021) - Rated 30 Jun 2023
"A fun Metroidvania with a few annoying design choices (no automap until you find the "beacon" for each area, a limited amount of map pins that isn't nearly enough to mark all the secrets, and DLC areas that are way overtuned, but can easily be confused for mandatory content), but ultimately a very fun experience with great boss fights. Note: I played the heavily patched game with a bunch of QoL improvements, so I probably had a significantly better experience than people who played at launch."
