A great co-op puzzle solving experience. Requires a lot of reading between the lines, and using some extra thinking as to why certain words are included in certain parts of text. Some puzzles could be slightly clearer, but after a first playthrough subsequent playthroughs are much easier. Overall a good time.

The crazy that's been sweeping the internet. Mysterious, horrific, and funny all the same (but only when it's not happening to you.) Definitely worth a play with friends.

Your first interaction is a conversation with your body, starting with your most rudimentary mental functions. You can converse with your body, as things from your logcial deduction to your very muscles have opinions on the conversations in the world around you. A roll of the dice and your individual score with each one determines whether that piece of your being contributes to observations, opinions, fears, and actions. Truthfully, from the way the various parts of being almost read like other characters, to the music and soundtrack. This game is utterly chilling and sparks emotions from joy and laughter to empathy and even sorrow in the player. This game can get deep at times, and other times it revels in absurdity. I highly recommend this game for anyone who enjoys long play sessions and amazing world building and story telling elements.

Do you like small animals battling it out in glorious combat, while keeping it mostly innocent and fun for the whole family? This game is for you then! Fight adorable animals until you're the last one standing in an isometric 2D battle royale. Simple enough. If you're into collectibles and cosmetics, basically everything in the game except for a few items from the beta are always available! The devs of this game are really cool, and given that it's the low low price of Free it's definitely worth your time and investment.

This game is pure adventure. Think of everything that makes the modern day action movie pirate. It's here. Adventure, Action, Mystery, Companionship, Betrayal, etc. Every time I log in it is like a new day of adventure where I don't know what I will find. The game asks you how you want to be a pirate. There is no wrong answer. Every game is an open world with real players also upon the waves. This very element gives the game it's entire draw. These other ships can be worthy foes, valuable allies, or simple passing ships that cause paranoia. It's a simply amazing experience that is unmatched. I highly recommend this game to anyone who is willing to play a game for it's story, but not the story that is written, but instead the story you create. (Also the written story is pretty decent too.) Keep in mind the game is a lot of trial and error. There are risks and rewards to certain actions in handling other players on the sea. Just keep in mind that all that loot you have isn't yours until you turn it in and get the cash prize for it. Until then its anyone's game! Good sailing. Maybe if you're lucky some day we shall sail together.

This game was given to me by a very dear friend of mine. Knowing him, and knowing the events that occur in the game I can see very clearly why he wanted me to have it. Katana Zero is a 2D fast-paced "real time" strategy game where you need to plan every movement and reaction incredibly carefully to execute a full clearance of a level without ever being touched once. (I believe Hotline Miami does a similar thing but top down, though I've never played it.) The game itself is reminiscent of many games I've played in the past including another game by Devolver called Ronin. Unlike Ronin however the depth of the story here and the implications of everything going on is absolutely stunning. The game is (relatively) short as I played through it in 4-5 hours on my first go. I later played it again the same day in about 3 hours to try and go for a little more completion. However those hours leave me currently yearning for more. The game should definitely have a sequel and continue the story where left off. I will say it takes a lot to make me write a review, so if you're reading this the best I can tell you is to walk into the game blind. I was engaged by the story because of how little I knew about it, and this review was written to try and avoid spoilers the best I could. The trail and error to some levels can be frustrating at times but the games makes it ALL well worth it in all of it's story beats and in the engaging fun it creates. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys the ideas it poses. Again, this game was able to make me write a positive review on it, and I hate writing.

Buy this game if you like the pure simplicity of learning through observation. It may take a while to get some tricks, but trust me, the experience as a whole is worth it. The game gives you a sense of peace, and blows your mind with some of the astonishing concept twists it presents.

KOTOR is a classic game that I've loved since childhood. A great game that blended RPG elements with realtime gameplay. Sure it was a little buggy, but at the time, KOTOR was amazing. KOTOR 2 kept the series going strong. While the opening for it in my opinion was lacking, the game series still holds strong. I strongly wish that they would make a third, using many of the same mechanics from the old games.

If you're someone who love games like Smash Bros. then this game will be surprisingly delightful. The mechanics run smoothly, and the game plays very well. Perfect for competitive gameplay, casual with friends, or just basic entertainment.
