Tetsumo Party
Enjoyable & approachable for young children with depth & challenge enough for adults to enjoy!
I read Monster Couch’s ratings blog saying they wanted a 3+ rating and I thought, “I have a 3 and a 3+, let’s see what they can do!”
We had a lot of fun and it was simple enough that the kids could catch on quickly.
Sound quality was excellent and sound effects entertaining.
I liked that it could be cooperative or competitive so the kids could work together.
We barely scratched the surface, but I could see that there was a lot more to the game than we experienced -power-ups, achievement challenges and unlockable characters.

Mount Your Friends 3D: A Hard Man is Good to Climb
This game takes everything you loved about the first one, and dials it up to 11. Everything that may have turned you off to the first one in terms of mechanics has been remedied or simplified here. The movement is fluid and easy to pick up, only requiring your mouse and two fingers to play. The diversifcation of modes is excellent, with every single one having some kind of charm and element of fun to it. The skill floor is much lower and easier to get in to, while the skill ceiling is much higher, and difficult to master. The game can be as challenging as you want it to be, but it always remains fun at whatever skill level you play at. The skins and team customization options that you unlock through play are all hilarious, and give a genuine sense of progression without feeling like you’re missing out on anything. Custom modes are coming soon, with much more on the way, as the dev is very active and open to feedback. Basically, this is everything you’re looking for in a game and more. If you loved the first one or are just looking for a hilarious game to play in your free time, definitely pick it up. If you have a friend or two and are looking for something cheap and silly, this is an absolute must buy.

I played the first game with my buddies and always loved it for its goofy physics and the fun game modes such as low gravity and horizontal mounting. When I heard about the release of the sequel I was excited to see a different take on the classic game of mounting jacked dudes. My friends and I got the game on the release date and I streamed it. After playing the game for (currently 8.8 hours before typing this) I can say that I like this new installment more than the previous one.
Pros:
New modes such as blockade and shuffle.

This game has that Advance Wars nostalgia feel. The matches aren’t drawn out too long which is nice. However there are a few bugs. I was able to contact the developer and he was willing to hear all feedback and assured he would be making necessary adjustments to this game to improve it.

LARA CROFT AND THE TEMPLE OF OSIRIS™
I’ve decided to write my thoughts after seeing a mixed public opinion on it. TL; DR version is at the bottom.
Temple of Osiris is the sequel to the action-adventure / puzzle game “Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light,” which holds an overwhelmingly positive score on the Steam store. Both games are played from an isometric perspective and have a heavy emphasis on solving environmental puzzles with some action-shooting thrown in for good measure. Gameplay-wise, the two are very similar in controls and mechanics, such as the use of the grappling hook or rolling spheres to certain locations to advance. The big difference, however, is that Temple of Osiris can be played with up to 4 players in comparison to Guardian of Light’s two-player experience, and Lara Croft now uses Osiris’s object-altering staff to assist with puzzle-solving instead of Totec’s spear.

Intro
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is an action-adventure game with puzzle elements. Despite the Steam store page saying that it’s a sequel of Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light, I didn’t find any correlation between both games at all. The only similarity lies in the gameplay, with some improvements on the “sequel”. The game also offers co-op mode, both local and online, for up to four players, but since I finished the game solo, this review will be based on that.

Mother Russia Bleeds
tl;dr: Game has more depth than it initially seems, sound/art design is fantastic, and it actually gets support from devs
One of the most brutal, rewarding beatemups out there. And I’m not only talking about the aesthetic, which is brutally beautiful in its own right.
First, to get it out of the way: Mother Russia Bleeds is not a particularly well-balanced game. It’s a hard game on its normal difficulty, sometimes approaching the point of cheapness with the amount of enemies they can throw at you. This is especially hard when you’re playing by yourself - the game can often turn into a game of managing space so you don’t get annihilated - but this issue is mostly alleviated if you have a co-op partner. If you’re new or casual to beatemups, go for Easy for your first run.

Mother Russia Bleeds is a new age classic that suffers from some bad game balancing mechanics and, as it stands currently, some bugs that can ruin the game play experience.
Story
Not going to lie, they actually went all out with this. It’s a pretty deep story considering this is a simple beat ‘em up game. There is some fairly rich dialog during and between the stages that set up a lot of the story and tap in to your emotions so you care more about the journey / characters lives. The bosses usually all have some kind of “Bad guy monolog” so that it fires you up to just want to kill them before the fight begins which I thought was a really nice touch.
