Star Escape
Really fun, simple competitive game. I’ve played alone and with a friend and I could see this being incredibly fun with 3-4 people. It’s not easy but not unfair, you always know what you did wrong. The only complaint i would have is initially navigating the menu to start a game was a little confusing.

Antistatic
This game needs more attention.
It’s the most Melee-like platform fighter out at the moment in a genre overran by developers too afraid to commit to the formula that made the genre so big competitively.
Most developers try to differentiate their games with weird, unsatisfying, shallow mechanics that end up souring the experience, but this game from my short time playing is more set on pure and solid gamefeel and exploring the genre from it’s roots, with unique movesets instead of directly ripping or tweaking already existing characters.

Very early in development, so it’s lacking in a lot of departments. That said, the core gameplay is tight and with some time most of the problems will be fixed and most missing features will be implemented. Also, the dev seems pretty engaged with the community and is very active, at least on discord, while posting constant updates about the development timeline. Overall, at it’s current state it’s a very ‘rough’ game with a good core that only shows signs of improving.

Light Fingers
Light Fingers is a magical mechanical board game where thieves compete in a test of skills to prove who among them is the most deft! Explore a randomly generated miniature board world that unfolds before you as you roll dice and move around to explore.
Seek out shops where you’ll find cards to buy, special services for hire and chests of loot to plunder. Remember, always shop before you steal!
Raid Dungeons, where coins are a plenty, but deadly hazards are just as numerous. Here you will go up against your rivals who can defend the dungeon operating the traps while you attempt to loot its treasures.
Don’t get caught! Play your hand of cards strategically or buy favors from the local inhabitants to avoid the guards and other players as you work your way back to the thieves hideout.

Boomerang Fu
Boomerang Fu is, at first, a simple game. You’re a Fruit. I mean, excluding Eggplants. And Avocados. Ok, fine, it’s not a Fruit Game, but a Fruit/Vegetable/Grain/Drink/Ice Cream/Sushi/Bacon game. Each character oozes personality, some in a literal sense, others roll around a bit more.
Anyway, as the title says, it’s all about Boomerangs. You throw boomerangs, slash with boomerangs, catch your own boomerang, kick boomerangs out of peoples hands, turn into a box & get hit with a boomerang, etc. You’ve got 3 (4 technically) buttons, 1 stick. Simple to pick up, hard to master, but outstanding fun at all skill levels.

Amazingly fun little game.
And my kids (5 & 7) just love it!
It may appear a bit violent at first glance, but it’s not that violent.
You mostly cut food items or break and occasional cup.
No blood or gore or anything.
The game easy to play - even a child can do it.
So kids enjoy it very much.
The bot enemies on lower difficulties are also quite easy to overcome, so the kids can even play the game by themselves.
Other than various characters (that only differ in their graphics) the game also offers various levels, with different game mechanics (levers that allow you to kill enemies by moving the environment, moving ground, ice, trees that hide you, etc.)

Monster Jaunt
This game has that classic Nintendo couch party vibe. I’ve played it with a few different groups of people, and it seems to work well with both frequent and casual gamers. The minigames have a good amount of variety to them, and there’s enough minigames to give it a plenty of replayability. One particularly nice touch is the adorable art of the hybrid creatures in the game. I’ve fallen in love with the panda/andaconda hybrid"pandaconda" and the fiery otter “magmotter”.
Favorite minigame:

I would heartily recommend Monster Jaunt for anyone looking for a new party game.
The mini games give you a variety of challenges that mostly focus on skill and not pure chance. The board game is engaging and yet lightweight enough to be understood at a glance. Nearly the entire game allows for simultaneous play, so you don’t lose engagement while someone else it taking their turn. The Remote Play Together integration works wonderfully, as expected. Being able to play a local game across the country with little detriment is a huge bonus feature for a game like this.

ABRACA - Imagic Games
Underneath the cutesy graphics lies a game that actually takes skill to play.
Abraca really is the perfect party game. Think of it as a little bit of a mix between Super Smash Bros. and Mario Party. Then, be a little forgiving, as the creators neither had the budget of those two AAA games, nor the price tag.
Each player controls both a prince, and a princess, but not at the same time. Each princess is placed in a giant box, and each prince races for the key to open the box and free his princess. You progress through a series of challenges as far as you can on your turn, with the other three players taking control of the defenders in the level. As the prince, your goal is to pass as many stages as possible, as the defenders your goal is to send the prince to the start of the stage as many times as possible, and as a princess your goal is generally to smash the other princesses so you can blow kisses to your prince through the lock-hole of the chest.

Since i see no really usefull reviewers, I decided to give you guys one.
This is actually a really good party game, but ONLY a party game! This game is probably one of the best Local games out there. I don’t know how the heck the others managed to rate this game after playing for like 20 minutes, but think i tried it enough to give it a rating.
There are three modes: Race, Arena and Challenge mode.
The race mode is 2-4 player. This the mode that makes the game shine. You have to get through 9 stages before the others, and in every round, the chosen one has to go as far as possible within 60 seconds. While the chosen ones struggles to get through the stage, he have to escape from monsters which is controlled by 1-3 local opponents. (NO BOTS. ONLY THE OTHER LOCAL PLAYERS) On their way to comleting each stage, he/she have to escape the opponents either by avoiding them or beating them to move on. Every character gets a chance every round to be the chosen one, who has to go through the stages. If you are lucky and good then you might go through 3 stages within 60 seconds. And if you are unlucky then you might stay in the same stage until the next round. After every round the first chosen one is being chosen by a battle between friends (works like smash bros). The one who is finishing and beating the stage 9 boss the first will win the game.
