The Witness
This is a hard one to recommend because it takes a certain type of person to enjoy the concept of this game. You’re dropped in a world devoid of life but full of puzzles, with no direction other than the controls. Move to the door, click to open solving mode, draw a line from the…

A Dance Of Fire And Ice + Neo Cosmos
ADOFAI is the first true rhythm game on my list and wow it certainly is something. The gameplay is incredibly simple, one of the simplest forms of input in the most versatile genre of games: one button. You press one button, any button, in time with the path you’re following. Doesn’t have to be the…

hexceed
This is a logic puzzle like hexagonal Minesweeper, but with a few extra mechanics, like red arrows that indicate mines in the direction(s) of the arrow(s), or green numbers that indicate mines within 2 tiles of the number instead of just directly adjacent. You can click on a hint to highlight what that hint refers…

Tunic
Fox game fox game fox game. So in this game you play as a fox, and this makes me happy because I like foxes, foxes are the best little critters, and I may or may not be a fox irl writing game reviews by bashing my pointy snoot against the keyboard. That being said: Steam:…

INFRA
Yet another one that I was recommended by a YouTuber I follow, but this time it was Real Civil Engineer. I got about 3 videos into the playlist before I stopped and went to play it myself, and I’m glad I did. The game surprisingly has a very intriguing plot, which is not something you’d…

Creeper World
It’s not what it sounds like, this is actually a single-player real time strategy game where you play as a advanced military surviver, who builds infrastructure and weapons to fight off waves of alien goo that comes at you through tidle waves. While this review title technically pertains to the whole series, my recomendations are…

Dyson Sphere Program
A slightly different take on the factory management game, the whole thing takes place on a sphere. Or should I say a lot of spheres. You see, you get given ownership over an entire sector of space for you to use and exploit however you want to, and you have to use those resources to…

Control
Oh boy, first Triple A game on this list. Anyways, have you ever heard of the SCP Foundation? This is basically that but with an actually coherent world and story, and less unkillable monsters. You play as a “parautilitarian”, someone who can control “paranatural” forces, and the new head of the Federal Bureau of Control,…

One Step From Eden
If you’ve ever played a MegaMan Battle Network game and enjoyed the combat of it, then I implore you to pick this game up, as it’s just MMBN battles distilled into the perfect roguelike. Once you’ve picked a starting kit consisting of a weapon, a passive ability, and 4 spells, each battle lets you take…

Manifold Garden
“In William Chyr’s Manifold Garden, the player’s world is not our own.” – Jacob Geller, 2020. Manifold garden is a game about infinity. Every ceiling a floor, Every direction stretching out in a looping manner, only terminated temporarily by the repeating floors, and in this game you get to navigate this infintite world to solve…

Ikenfell
I have so many praises that I want to sing about this extremely cute and queer fun witch game! The story is incredible, the battles are surprisingly engaging and have some timing mechanics to add an extra bit of skill to the battles, and the world building and design is just wonderful.

Katana ZERO
A 2D hack-and-slash where you play as a sword boy who murders a lot of people. It’s like, what if Hotline Miami 1 is a side scrolly ninja game instead of an overhead shooter game. The gimmick though, is that you can slow down time to perform incredible stunts like reflecting bullets with your sword…
