With it’s very retro pixelated look you could walk into Olija expecting a similarly old-school experience, but you’d be ...

As time has gone on the first-person shooter genre has gone through quite a lot of changes and evolution, generally movi...

The Survivalists

As I have noted a few times before, in general survival games haven’t tended to be a favorite of mine in the past. That ...

As an enormous fan of anything roguelike Going Under has been on my radar since I first saw it announced, billing itself...

Of course, if you’re a bit younger it all may feel a bit dated or some people may prefer not to turn the clock back quit...

Party Golf

Going over issues even with the simplicity of the experience that isn’t to say there aren’t some rough patches. Periodic...

Grids of Thermometers

While it absolutely keeps things pretty simple, it’s just enough of a smart variation on the Picross-style formula that it may have appeal for puzzle fans

Pilo and the Holobook

A very approachable and family-friendly adventure focused on exploration that weirdly grew on me despite its simplicity

Keeper's Toll

While not as polished or engaging as Vampire Survivors, it does manage to feel distinct and notable

Goliath Depot

A retro arcade experience that is less clearly inspired by specific games, but manages to be interesting

Hero's Hour

Interesting real-time battles and strategy elements feel novel, but this isn’t a guaranteed home run

The Forest Quartet

Undeniably gorgeous, charming, and wonderfully scored, this puzzle adventure is on the short side but memorable

KarmaZoo

Inherently multiplayer games are always a risk, but there’s no doubt this truly cooperative platformer is pleasant

Tiny Dragon Story

Though it may have a simplistic retro look, this tiny dragon manages to deliver solid classic platforming play with a little flair

Batora: Lost Haven

With its combat forcing you to move between a twin-stick shooting style and slashing, Batora manages to keep itself interesting and varied

Orwell: Ignorance is Strength

The follow-up to Keeping an Eye on You has a bit less content to explore, but also refines some of the rough edges of the original and still remains compelling

Orwell: Keeping an Eye On You

While extremely timely for this moment in the world, and conceptually it explores what can be the arbitrary nature of the surveillance state, in terms of gameplay it’s a bit thin

Kinduo 2 - Frostbite

Whether you tackle this puzzler co-op or solo, given its budget price it’s a great value

Bravery and Greed

There are elements of this roguelike action game that work, but one critical one that lets the rest down

JARS

With a visual style somewhere between Tim Burton and the characters in Don’t Starve, there’s a timeliness...

Piggly Pagly Boom

A decent take on the Pang / Buster Bros formula, but not a particularly inspired one either

Submarine Survivor

Does a better job than most among Vampire Survivors-alikes, but doesn’t clearly move the subgenre forward

Skies Above

A smart and somewhat challenging mix of precision jumping and some strategy, with an evolved arcade style

O.W.L Projekt 2

A sequel to the less elaborate Monument Valley is again well-made, but not terribly inspired either

Servonauts

A slightly different take on cooperative play as you fuel things up, though it fails to have much overall variety

While the twin-stick shooter junkie in me wishes that this budget hybrid of shooting and tower defense was quite a bit tougher, it still manages to have surprising appeal even with its overall simplicity

Wake Up, Lia!

A pretty brutally challenging budget platformer that has a decent side order of some storytelling

Ringo's Roundup

Overall, it manages to be both accessible and challenging, though a bit cumbersome with a controller

Squab

Despite being pretty humble in presentation, this budget precision platformer improves as it warms up

FoxyRush

A challenging mix of runner / precision platformer / and puzzler in one budget package

Headbangers: Rhythm Royale

An unusual, and pretty competitive, online multiplayer rhythm game, though perhaps a bit inconsistent

Brotato

Combining dodge-em-up style with roguelike weapon and character variability makes it distinct, though in execution it’s merely middling

The Knight Witch

Combining Metroidvania concepts with some twin-stick shooting, The Knight Witch swings big… and gets on base

Godlike Burger

Somehow feeling like a mix of concepts and play from the likes of Overcooked and Party Hard, Godlike Burger has a unique and morbid flair

Orbibot

As an old school arcade fan I’ll just plain admit I’m a sucker for any game that remotely resembles the c...

Pinkman+

While there are an abundance of challenging retro minimalist action platformers out there I don’t find that I o...
