Revenge on the Streets 2
I played this game because I quite like the first one, here comes the (first?) review:
Character
3 characters, no hidden character or such.
Each has different style of punching combos.
I like the fact that you can spam a flykick-uppercut combo from early stage, but in later stage you can’t because all the enemies start blocking.
Also make me think, how come they can block attacks but I can’t, that could be useful.
Compare to the first one, no unlockable characters, which is a little disappointing.

Skyhook
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN EARLY ACCESS REVIEW
Did you ever hear of Skyhook before being on it’s store page for the first time?
Me neither.
It’s kinda one of those games you learn of by some obscure indie reviewer/blogger, or by chance. For me, it was the latter. I’d recently ordered a Steam Link so I could play games on the big TV in my living room. I figured I should try picking up some local-multiplayer games for when I have my friends over, so I did a Steam store search of games with both the “Full-Controller Support” and “Local Multiplayer” tags. I found Skyhook about half-way through the fourth set of results. After seeing both the neat gameplay and the 50% off discount, I thought to myself “ehh…why not?” and got it.

A Action Platforming Arena Game
-
The gameplay is fairly fun and fast paced. Similar to Smash Bros, although you die in one hit if anything hits you, and you are mainly shooting grappling hooks at each other and trying to dodge.
-
Quite a few “challenge stages” that are comprised of a bunch of little challenge minigames like break the targets, climb to the top before the lava rises, and kill X amount of enemies without dying.
-
A variety of game modes
-
Up to 4 player local multiplayer

Cobra Kai: The Karate Kid Saga Continues
It sure is nice to have a new beat em up to play. They don’t make too many of these anymore. I particularly like the tie in to the excellent Cobra Kai netflix series. Unlike the show, don’t expect this to have any good writing (save for the genuinely funny one liners that the characters have after winning a fight). This is purely a fighting game, one that is clearly a loving homage specifically to the Streets of Rage series. It’s both better and worse than Streets of Rage 4, which I’ll get in to later. Everyone you run across in the street from hippies to mothers to emo kids are all inexplicably out for your blood, which is funny in its own regard. Sometimes characters will provide humorous meta commentary on this. Every character of note in the netflix series is either playable or is a boss in some level. Cobra Kai has fire powers while Miyagi Do has ice powers. Tone wise, it’s far more light and irreverent than the show; it does not take itself seriously in the slightest. Some might find this off-putting, but subjectively this works quite well.

Loved the Karate Kid movies when I was young, I did not really follow the Cobra Kai series but I’m guessing it’s as cheesy as the movies, if not more. There is no lack of cheesiness in this game, that’s for sure.
Beat ‘em Up games also give me those nostalgic feelings of back in the day when I used to play games like; Golden Axe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV, Fighting Force, Double Dragon and Streets Of Rage to name a few.
Graphically, I can’t say the game is gorgeous but it also didn’t really bother me that much. It actually made me think of another Beat ‘Em up “Double Dragon Neon” , a game which I couldn’t get into.

Speed Brawl
Speed Brawl is one of those games that I’m not really sure of how it ended up in my library. Must’ve been something like a Humble Bundle? Regardless, that is a damn shame, because I genuinely wish I had purchased this game at full price.
Speed Brawl is a 2D sidescrolling brawler, where speed is your friend. It features one of the most satisfying combat systems I’ve played. The faster you move, the more damage you do. You can pick between 6 different characters (you start with 2 and unlock the others later), and you tag team the levels. This means that you can swap between 2 characters at your leisure. The game also features couch and online co-op, and online leaderboards.

Its fun game 9/10 I’d say
It has charm, style and a great sound track. Dialouige isnt afraid to be rude at times, I honestly kinda wish this was somesorta TV series or somthing, the setting and style and intro cut scene really get me pulled into the world.
Combat is Pretty on point, camera is a bit shakey and some moves behave strangely but never really enough to pull me from the game (use a controller if you can Keyboard works but its a lot easier and more fluent with a controller)
The characters fight fairly differently, have special abities that fit them, and a leveling system, witch i think could have used
