How bad stage design can ruin a good platformer

“Castlevania Legends is often seen as one of the black sheeps this franchise has too offer. That's not saying a lot since quite a lot of games in this franchise are seen as black sheeps. But Castlevania Legends in particular has even gone so far as having the original creator openly speaking about hi” read more

Mario returns in a massively improved sequel

“While the original Super Mario Land was a launch title that arguably is still worth playing today (I'd say so at least), Super Mario Land 2 is a massive improvement over that game. The graphics are way better and the gameplay is way smoother. You can truly see how the developers have gotten familiar” read more

Outdated and replaced, but still major fun!

“We live in a day and age where Pokemon is still a very relevant franchise in the eyes of gamers. But since it is over 20 years old now, new fans have come and so have many new games and even remakes. Generation 1 is by many even seen as ''badly aged games''. Do I agree? Yes and no. I had my very cle” read more

Cute puffball is secretly a mass murderer

“Kirby's Dream Land set out to do one major goal and succeeds in that regard pretty well: to be accessible to anyone and everyone. It now has an entire franchise that's still going strong to this date, and it all started with this game. Simple platforming with Kirby's defining feature that he can inh” read more

Mario's first simple yet unique handheld adventure

“It is very clear that Super Mario Land is one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Gameboy. The graphics are not the game's strong point (though graphics do not affect the quality of this game) and the game is extremely short and easy. The difficulty can be increased when selecting hard mode, but s” read more

An online game hindered by no online activity

“I could see Deployment being a very enjoyable game to play online casually or competitively. Rounds are pretty short, only lasting about 4 minutes and skill is clearly needed for this game. Without the right strategies the opponent can easily defeat you in battle. That's because Deployment is not on” read more

Lovecraftian horror disguised as cutesy platformer

“I was pleasantly surprised by revisiting Eversion. My memories of it weren’t too positive, but after playing it again and learning about the Lovecraftian inspiration, I gained a new admiration for this game. Gameplay works and the multiple parallel dimensions allow for the puzzle aspect to rise, a” read more

Fun 2D Platformer concept gets repetitive fast

“Spoiler Alert has an interesting theme going for it, and is the main selling point for the game. The gameplay functions but unfortunately gets repetitive relatively fast due to it mostly coming down to pressing a few buttons. There is potential for this concept to grow even bigger however, and I wou” read more

Diablo but in ancient mythologies

“Titan Quest has a mythological theme going for it, and executes it very well with its inhabitants and world the game takes place in—though you have to take some stuff with a grain of salt. The many different combinations in masteries and the loot hoarding gameplay makes every playthrough different” read more

One of the best Tales games in recent years

“Tales of Berseria is a great entry in the Tales franchise, with a good theming and a cast of characters I personally very much like. The gameplay is fine overall and especially improves on what can be done on the overworld over the older games. There is a lot of side content, allowing for lots of pl” read more

One of the best indie Metroidvanias ever

“If I could sum up my experience with Hollow Knight briefly: I’ve played it for six hours straight and I just could not put the controller down. The days after were the exact same story; that’s how much I love this game. Whichever way you decide to go, it will only reward you because of the huge ” read more

Great ''Sonic clone'' by expert fangame creator

“Spark the Electric Jester isn’t a game that should be regarded as a ‘’Sonic clone’’, as it is far more than just that. Spark controls smoothly with many different abilities and melee options to check out. The electricity bar is pretty much useless and wall jumping is also finnicky, but tho” read more

Bad 3D Platformer with horrible camera

“Woodle Tree Adventures gives me the feeling of being a developer’s firstborn child, and while that does not necessarily come off as bad, there are noticeable improvements to be had. The checkpoints are wonky, but the worst offender of all is easily the non-controllable camera. And even then, there” read more

Fun dungeon crawler held back by terrible UI

“Dungeons & Darkness is probably hurt by its title being too similar to the big guns; there’s almost nothing to find on this game and only the people actively searching for a game like this will find it. Which is a shame because overall, it is a fun game to play. The UI is hard to work with and” read more

Nostalgia overload! Going through the VG history

“Super Life of Pixel is a pleasant return to the history of video games, and probably one of the best to do so for consoles and home computers before Nintendo started their domination. Every console is represented well with both graphics and music, and the stages are nicely designed with a ton of sec” read more

Great parody on MMORPGs in the Neptunia world

“Easily the most 'high-budget' Neptunia game so far, Cyberdimension Neptunia is a wonderful parody on the MMO genre. Dungeons are no longer recycled, there are a lot of new monster models and customisation is superb. The plot and newly introduced characters are slightly weaker than former games, but ” read more

Fun twin-stick shooter with tons of weapons/perks

“This game is super fun. A twin-stick top-down shooter with a crazy amount of weapons, perks and modes to play. By doing the campaign I kept unlocking more and more and that felt really good, and due to the variety in weapons and perks I occasionally experimented with them to check which combinations” read more

Fun skill-based dungeon crawler with bad post-game

“A simplistic but overall fun dungeon crawler. Learn the attack pattern of the enemies and fight with three different heroes to get as far as possible. The multiple amount of weapons, perks and stats makes the gameplay interesting for the short amount of time it takes to beat. All my compliments I ha” read more
