Early Review“Carmageddon: Rogue Shift is a straightforward roguelite that sees you race around tracks using cars with unique handling properties and weapons as you blast your way through zombies and enemy racers alike as you seek victory.”

Launch Window“Dwarves: Glory, Death, and Loot, a fun roguelite auto-battler that will keep you entertained for hours on end through its addictive progression and seemingly endless builds.”

Launch Window“Slots and Daggers is a simple RPG roguelite whose battle system is in the hands of the fate of a slot machine's reels. Earn coin, spend it between battles, and assemble a game-winning build as you traverse through ten different dungeons or Arena Mode.”

Launch Window“Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection contains some of the greatest and most iconic games in the Mortal Kombat franchise! These were the games that put the series on the map, challenged censorship, and paved the way for other fighting games. Despite the games being fantastic, the selection of titles feels bloated and unnecessary, while the features, while good, seem like an average offering.”

Launch Window“Jotunnslayer: Hordes of Hel doesn't break the mold when it comes to swarm survivor games, but it doesn't have to. It offers plenty of replayability, and addictive gameplay that will keep you coming back for more. Plus, if you love norse mythology, then this game is steeped in it.”

Launch Window“Kill the Brickman is simple to pick up, but complex to master… but don't worry, because a lot of it depends on luck with your build. One thing is for certain, despite the game overwhelming you up-front with its systems, it is highly addictive, and it will keep you playing for hours!”

Early Review“Tetris Forever used a time travel theme to send you back into the past 40 years of the franchise; however, if you grew up playing Tetris in the West, you won't find the titles you're familiar with. Japanese versions of the games here are abundant and very fun but there are some duplicates which showed laziness in the selection.”

Launch Window“Card-en-Ciel is a fun dungeon-crawling deck-building roguelite that will provide hours of addictive gameplay that is easy to pick up and learn. While the system seems in-depth and daunting, its thoughtful design appeals to gamers or any skill level.”

Late Review“Army of Ruin is a swarm survivor game where you become an unstoppable bullet hell machine. While only five stages are available, each stage has multiple difficulty levels and with over five hundred challenges and over 300 unlockable characters, weapons, trinkets, charms, and features, the game will keep you coming back for more!”

Launch Window“Mega Man X DiVE Offline still features a ton of content to play through and unlock even with all of the online modes and features pruned from the game. While it will be entertaining at first for new players, it will quickly become a piece of filler entertainment you might come back to every now and then at best.”

Late Review“30XX is an action platforming roguelike that provides incredible depth in its content that is fun, addicting, and will always keep you coming back for more!”

Launch Window“World of Warcraft: Dragonflight makes an attempt to get the franchise back on the right track and while it's not perfect, it is a pretty good start and it is headed in the right direction.”
11/28/2020
Launch Window“Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate offers everything that MK11 gave up plus all of the DLC plus a few new characters. It's perfect for those who played the original and want to continue their experience on a next-gen console but even better for those who only played the base game or haven't played it yet at all!”

Launch Window“This game is fun, challenging, and highly addicting! The systems are very simple and straight-forward but even though there isn’t much variety to the weapons or gear, the stats on them and the different builds you can do with them offer a lot of depth. There’s still enough to suit different playstyles giving you even more variety and control over things.”

Early Review“The World Next Door combines elements of a Puzzle Game, Visual Novel, and an RPG to tell the story of a girl named Jun trapped on the world of Emrys and needing to get home before she dies. Go through four acts with great puzzle-solving combat to discover the way to get Jun home!”
2/20/2019
Launch Window“Tetris 99 is highly addictive, simple, and fun. It brings that modern Tetris competition to the online stage in a big way but the lack of game modes and new features really hurt this from being more than just a good game.”
7/13/2018
Late Review“20XX is everything a Mega Man fan could want and more. The randomness of the game keeps every run fresh and there are enough game modes to keep you coming back over and over again. The only weakness is the lack of variety in the levels that it offers. Despite that flaw, it doesn't halt this game from being highly-addictive and insanely fun! Well worth the price tag!”

Launch Window“Lightning fast-paced action makes a storied franchise feel fresh again. The game is simple, fun and addicting and the addition of a two-player mode is welcome. The cons lie in the two-player mode as you do have to rely on a bit of micromanagement (like bursting the fruit requires you to "kiss" each other). The game does make up for it with plenty of customization options and challenges that will keep you playing for hours.”

Launch Window“Little Busters offers a great story with well-fleshed out characters. Their backstories make you feel an intangible connection to them which makes the big reveal of the story carry that much more weight to it. Whether you're new to visual novels or KEY in general or if you're a fan of KEY, it is highly worth your time picking this one up on Steam!”

Launch Window“Accel World vs Sword Art Online is a hack and slash RPG with a lot of customization, but the game is hurt by its generic good vs evil story and complicated aerial combat systems.”
