An all-time great deckbuilder gets a sequel worth risking God's wrath for.
It's got the Metroidvania chops of their Nintendo Switch high-point Metroid Dread, the fantasy-horror imagination of their Castlevania: Lords of Shadow games, and a fantastic combat system that smashes them both. A great adventure that'll make you want to try every weapon it hits you with. Outstanding.
Overboard's more complex follow-up is another great evil detective game.
It takes too long to grow beyond its predecessor, but once it does Knights in Tight Spaces is an engaging and tactical roguelike deckbuilder.
Flawed and overfamiliar, but still as joyously OTT and hilarious as ever.
There's potential in the premise, and some real highs (especially when launched into the air), but it's the kind of game that makes you yearn to see what a sequel could accomplish by iterating on what worked – perhaps then we'll be in for something truly magic.
A masterful metroidvania that builds on Sekiro-style combat and tells a great sci-fi story too. Unmissable.
A pachinko-roguelike that properly rewards strategic play. Terrific.
A beautiful 2D soulslike with enough bright ideas of its own to stand out.
"They've successfully encouraged the always-keep-moving approach of Metal Slug proper."
A flawed but fun action slaughterfest with a great NPC-possession hook.
A smart and silly spin on 3D platformers and 2D classics that's delightful from start to finish.
An entertaining roguelike deckbuilder held back by irritating design decisions. Frustrating, but far from a bust.
A serviceable slice of Soulslike fantasy that doesn't do enough to stand out from an overcrowded genre.
An undersea soulslike that's cute and compelling, though weirdly crass.
A clever yet frustratingly muddled follow-up to Monster Train.
Five hours of fun, frantic platforming that's unwieldy and all the better for it.
One flipping good idea can't save this repetitive roguelike deckbuilder from only rolling above average.
A roguelike deckbuilder debut already worth of joining Slay the Spire and Monster Train at the King's table. Essential.
A short but sweet amateur detective game with a wonderful attention to detail.
