Rivals of Aether
The best platform figther in the business next only to Melee. Crazy movement and mechanics with a low enough skill floor for newcomers and an insane skill ceilling that seems to only get higher the further the meta goes on.

This is probably one of my favorite Smash clones out of all of them for now. Not only is the game play, the crossovers, and content, but for the encouragement for workshop support. Modding is one of the main reasons why people even play SSB Brawl still, and for good reason. More content, unexpected characters to play as, and more variety.
Ever since workshop has released during beta and since the making of this review, 5000+ creations ranging from new characters, stages, and more have been released, slowly and surely improving as time progresses. Not only that, but workshop is very optimized for categorizing different characters per series or creator and how it loads them up to not overfill the game.

Bridge Constructor Portal
I write this review as someone who had played Portal, but who had never played any of the Bridge Constructor titles. (I knew that games like it were out there, but I was unaware that this wasn’t the first ‘Bridge Constructor’ title released.) As such, the bridge constructor game concept was new to me. It was the Portal tie-in that piqued my interest. If this is you, then this review will be more relevant.
I’ve always enjoyed titles like this that challenge the intellect, without a ‘timer’ on it. I want something that my mind can chew on for a while. Much like chess, you need to think many ‘moves’ ahead to develop your strategy. Furthermore, the game does rely on a knowledge of basic physics. You don’t need a PhD in physics to play, although it wouldn’t hurt… lol Seriously though, they do offer some basic physics tips to help understand how and why certain designs work better than others.

PolyBridge skills don’t fail me now
Oh the fun time building bridges so people can safely continue their travels. The trial and error it takes as you continue to test which parts work and which parts break under the pressure. Does each element work out for the better or will it cause people to die? And more importantly, will these vehicles be able to go through these portals?
When looking for a puzzle game that will test your mind constantly, you can’t go wrong with bridge construction games. With Bridge Construction Portal, this does not deviate with testing the mind. With the levels starting out easy to get the hang of things, each bridge jumps in difficulty throughout all 60 levels. The only difference between this and other bridge building games is the inclusion of Portal as instead of building a bridge that looks like everyday people would use when they travel, you’re in testing chambers. And instead of empty vehicles…well there may be people on them.

Mighty Dungeons
I enjoyed this little budget game so far. It feels like Heroquest but better. Done 5 of 8 campaigns already in about 5.5 hours. That being said, one playthrough and I think I’ll be done with it. I’m guessing I’ll get about 10 hours tops out of it playing with one of the OP toons.
For the price, if you enjoyed Heroquest as a kid, this is worth.
UPDATE: Underestimated this game. I was playing with permanent death and in the last map of the 7th campaign I was overconfident and ran into a room through a secret door with 8 powerful toons all giving each other gang bonus. First one smacked me around silly.

This game sits in my wishlist for a long time but during this summer sale I decided to buy it. Started with a barbarian to learn the mechanics. Made some bad decision but I am able to finish the first 3 campaign easily. So far so good. I gathered enough points to upgrade so I have increased attack speed, attack and defense for my bloodthirsty barbarian. Rushing through Chaos Gods campaign gives me the first surprise: end boss wipes the floor with me. From 2 hits. WTF? OK maybe I missed something so let’s get back to Skeltor campaign. End boss kicks my butt. Again. What the hell is going on here?
