Good Robot
I still haven’t finished the game but my opinion is likely not going to change. And yes, I will continue playing this on the foreseeable future.
Good Robot presents itself as a Rogue-like, and indeed it is. But it’s quite unique when compared to most self proclaimed rogue-likes. It’s extremely arcadey! You gain nothing with each session except experience, unlike other games that give you extra characters, different perks, unlock upgrades to be obtained in the game etc. This game doesn’t want you to keep playing under these pretexts, it wants you to keep playing because it’s a tempting challenge. I always died with the impression that I could beat that if I were more careful. You know, the kind of difficult people enjoy and take it as a challenge and makes you want to try again. This is the replay mechanism on good robot. You can see this mechanism in effect on strangely unrelated games like Dark Souls and Flappy Birds. I can’t believe I just put those two games in the same category.

Alright, so as roguelites go, this one is a little bit short. A lot of stuff is done right, but the flaws really stand out in this game.
Starting with the positive, the production values and the feel of the game are quite well done. The weapons are satisfying to use and the simple art style works very well for the kind of game that is is. At its best, gameplay is frenetic and you are heavily punished even for slight slip ups (and heavily rewarded if you keep on top of positioning the enemies). Also, the game has hats in it.

Zombie Party
As of May 19th 2016, I recommend. Lots of replay value.
It’s August 2019 and the game still provides much entertainment.
Zombie Party over all was a nice bullet chaos with RPG elements and chaos as a middle name. And you can you will be able to share it with your friends! There are more weapons and extra abilities than you can wrap your head around. There are 4 game modes (Adventure, Dungeon, Arcade & Deathmatch) so its your choice what you feel like. Set your pace with Dungeon mode or if you want a chaos filled flying bullet nightmare check out the other three modes. Plenty of entertainment if this is your flavor of game.

Zombie party is the first twin stick shooter that I’ve played in my life and I found the experience quite enjoyable. Although I can’t compare it to other games of this genre, I can clearly say that its a pretty well done game. It comes with lots of features, several game modes, it is vastly customizable and has huge replay value. All in all, it presents itself as an almost complete and solid product.
As a newbie in this genre, I found the learning curve quite easy. No matter the game mode chosen, you will have to do essentially the same thing: kill everything that dares to move. To accommodate myself with the game, I chose to play Dungeon mode first - maybe it’s the easiest of all since the mobs are usually in groups, therefore the player has enough time to plan their attacks.
