BasketBelle
I really enjoyed BasketBelle. One word I would use to describe it is charming. It’s a short game, roughly 1 hour, give or take if you try for the final achievement, but it’s very well made. This review is a short overview - there’s not too much to cover given the game’s length, but the execution and charm more than make up for it. Definitely worth playing if you already own it, or if you get on sale - the full price would be fine for people that don’t mind game length so much.
The story follows a young lad trying to find/ rescue his sister after she is kidnapped. The story has lots of warm moments, and I was pleasantly surprised how in such a short span of time, such vivid feelings were conveyed. You’ll see what happens when you play the game, there’s not much to elaborate without giving away everything, but the story was sweet and warm.

BasketBelle is an experimental Basketball-platformer-puzzle arcade game.
While the game itself is very simple each section offers it’s own unique challenge and mechanics, wither it’s playing in a one-on-one basketball game with a person or monster, using your basketball to solve platforming puzzles or flying through the sky avoiding obstacles. Each section is short and sweet and could have been developed into their own much larger/longer games but here they last just long enough to give you a taste before the next course of this delightful meze.

New Retro Arcade: Neon
After installing the Arcade Manager add-on, this game became a lot more fun to play, because the add-on makes it very easy to customize the games, tapes, and posters in the arcade. Switching from Vive controllers to steam controller also made games a lot more playable for me (you can navigate using the VR controllers and play games using a steam or xbox controller). There are a handful of games that make the investment in VR absolutely worth it. New Retro Arcade: Neon is absolutely one of them.

New Retro Arcade: Neon is my new Life.
Ok - HUGE caveat:
1. New Retro Arcade: Neon does NOT come with arcade machines loaded with games to play. You must modify them yourself with emulators and roms which must be acquired on your own.
2. This game is VERY buggy right now, it almost should have been an early access game.
3. This game is very much intended to be modified to suit your needs, but requires you to have some decent problem solving and research skills to figure out how to work all of the features to make it shine. It is not for the feint of heart .. or ‘mind’ in this case.

Pile Up! Box by Box
Overall feeling
Very enjoyable! Pile Up is the kind of game that makes you laugh at your own mistakes.
Although it is full of subtle humor, it’s really the accidents and unintentional bumping into each other that make the salt of the game.
Difficulty
The puzzles are clever, with a gentle but perceptible ramp on difficulty throughout the game. They are constructed from a limited set of box types that combine into very creative variations. Likewise, the set of available moves for players is minimal, but enables a fascinating stacking mechanism that offer a very large number of move combinations.

Avis en français plus bas
Played with two boxmates, and so far I can tell that we enjoy it very much ! Pile Up is a wonderful Couch Co-Op game filled with heart-warming elements such as cute characters and a lovely score. Make no mistake tho, as some puzzles are challenging and you will have to act like a true explorer if you want to find all the collectibles and secrets in the world of Pile Up ! But do not worry, this game is accessible and the true difficulty is to ̶c̶o̶-̶o̶p̶ cope with that one friend who always try to catch you just to throw you in the water 3 Fortunately you can have your revenge in funny minigames unlocked through your adventure ! So don’t hesitate and go pile some boxes !
