Rollerdrome such a sick game! A combination of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Max Payne and Jet Set Radio all in one. Really satisfying to play, stylish and cool. Pull of tricks while on roller skates and shoot down arena enemies with a variety of guns! Great learning curve with satisfying and challenging to master gameplay. It's like a trick, action, shooter, rhythm game!

It's a nice little PS2 era style 3D action platformer that gets you into the Halloween spirit. Need more games with pumpkin-headed protagonists.

Classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is known for its incredible arcade beat-'em-up brawlers back in the late '80s and early '90s. This game fully encapsulates the wonderfully feeling of playing those arcade coin-ops and perfects the experience with a deeper combat system. The game is a delight to look at and play with beautiful and lively pixel sprite work and detailed settings and backgrounds. The music is also superb composed by the now legendary Tee Lopes and harkens back to the sounds of its cartoon era. Classic voice actors reprise their roles as well. Fan service everywhere. Gets even better with co-op of course as well. It is an absolute must play for all classic TMNT fans and beatemup aficionados. Cowabunga most indeed! Grab some pizza and your friends and go back to the good ol' days!

I was in the mood to play something low poly but new and modern and that led me to discovering 'Murder House' on a Steam list. It was exactly what I was craving! This bite size survival horror game is an absolute delight! The graphics and old school presentation really enhance the fear and creepiness of this intimate farm house setting. It controls well and has a satisfying pacing to the whole experience. I also just happened to play this right before the Easter of 2024 so that was a nice coincidence! If you're a classic Resident Evil or survival horror fan I'd say this is a must play. Highly recommended. I'm looking forward to playing everything else this developer makes!

One of the greatest shark related games ever made if not the best! It's a blast to play as both a diver in 1st person and shark in either 1st or 3rd person. It becomes somewhat of a thrilling and terrifying survival horror game to play as the divers in first person too! Even though the player base has dwindled in current years I still plan on returning to Depth to get my underwater shark fix!

I bought this game feeling nostalgic for Dragon Ball Z after Akira Toriyama's passing. Got it on sale for $9! I've realized how much I appreciate DBZ and the influence it has had on manga, anime, other creators and the world on a global scale. I'm a major Sonic the Hedgehog fan and without DBZ there would be no Super Sonic form or the transformation from collecting 7 Chaos Emeralds nor the character dynamic between modern Sonic and Shadow since it's heavily inspired by Goku and Vegeta. I've been a casual fan of Dragon Ball but I've always enjoyed the sections of the story I've caught. This is one badass fighting game too in the style of an 'anime' and Marvel VS Capcom fighter. High speed and high flying with extreme impact and action. It captures the show's spectacular battles incredibly well! I'm inspired to go back and rewatch the whole Dragon Ball series now because of it! Highly recommend this game to any fighting game fans or casual DBZ watchers!

This is the cutest Sonic game I've played and it's full of charm! Plus it's the first 2D Sonic game where the campaign can be played with up to 4 players! It tells a story in a style similar to Sonic 3 & Knuckles. No dialogue and all through actions.

It's Valve's first game so it's a required must play if you're a Steam user! 1998 FPS adventure puzzle game that still holds up in fun factor. Head Crabs will always be satisfying to kill!

This may very well become the greatest Street Fighter to date. Capcom absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one! Delivering on all accounts! There is so much to do within the game and plenty to work on! The game mechanics, look, feel, style and attitude are all superb. As of writing this I've put 190 hours into the game and 100% unlocked all achievements at this time. I'll be putting plenty more into this game in the future. What is strength? Find out yourself. Probably will become my favorite Street Fighter experience. Highly recommended!

They absolutely knocked it out of the park with this surprise first Sonic visual novel game!! It is a complete delight and tells a story that feels like you've experienced a main line modern Sonic game by the end of it! It was released as sort of a April Fool's joke this year for FREE but the game itself is no joke at all aside from the charming humorous moments within the game! It's a superb portrayal of all Sonic characters featured and tells and engaging and heartfelt mystery story. There is a really fun special stage like mini-game that you will play multiple times throughout the story too! A must play for all Sonic fans made by fans for fans. Excellent art, music and writing throughout. Let's hope there will be many more of these to come!
