Burning Knight
Gameplay:
Fast and very replayable. The game balances well between extremely chaotic gameplay from Nuclear Throne and calmer gameplay from games like The Binding of Isaac.
Content:
There is really a lot of content, description of the game on steam says about that so I am just gonna say one thing: The big advantage of this game is that each item is not only different, but also there are almost no underpowered trash items. And overpowered items are always rare so the balance is pretty good.

Inspired (sometimes a little too inspired) by predecessors like Binding of Isaac and Enter the Gungeon, Burning Knight has the core of a good game with a lot to like, but is absolutely ruinously lousy with bugs and design issues. When most itemization decisions are driven by whether or not the build will eventually cause the game to freeze even on a high-end system, something is badly amiss.
Visual clarity is a disaster; visual noise is everywhere, the lighting system adds further unclarity, and enemy bullets and effects can be of any color even when they’re not completely obscured by overlapping effects. Core mechanics are smooth and functional, except when they aren’t; inexplicably getting caught on a wall when attempting to move or dodge parallel to it is a frequent occurrence. Sometimes things just break in inexplicable ways; a player can die to their own pets/orbitals or even their own sword-attacks and never have any idea why it happened that run and not on the others. But worst of all, in the late game when the player’s growing pile of passive items starts including enough bullet-multiplying-and-guidance effects, the game becomes completely unstable, dropping frames or freezing for seconds at a time or ultimately becoming completely unresponsive and requiring the game to be closed, forfeiting all currency gained in the run.

Beat Blast
Nice concept, but boring overall. There’s a few things that keep me from recommending this. First off, the music has virtually no impact on the game other than the speed at which you shoot. You’re going to spam notes in every cell as you unlock them, so there’s no point in finding creative layouts. It’s also clunky how you set up your notes in the bottom left corner of the screen while trying to dodge enemies.
The music is cute and bouncy, but the game visually is incredibly dark, which doesn’t match. There’s no reason to have the “fog of war” aspect, it doesn’t change anything gameplay wise except make it feel claustrophobic. The art would fit better if it was a white background, or if they removed the fog of war and made enemies glow brighter similar to Geometry Wars. The screen can become cluttered very quickly, and hostile and friendly projectiles share some of the same colours so it’s hard to tell what’s going on at points.

A fun roguelike, Beat Blast is one of those games that you throw a pair of headphones on and simply forget the concept of time, ‘least until you realize you lost track of it and today has become tomorrow… The music contrasts nicely with the dark atmospheric theme, the light of you, the player, pitted against your enemies; a quite literal display of light and dark (or this gal read too much into it, your call I suppose). I always dive back in when I see a new content release, albeit in the name of fairness one could probably get all the different items after fifteen hours or so (I like to take my time, or meander about, if you prefer). I’ve unlocked everything but still find myself going back in, and getting occasionally surprised by things like a new alternate boss.

Knighty Night
Knighty Night is a fantastic game that can be completed within a few hours. The fascinating story that follows a brave night traversing through four different parts of a haunted land, fighting ghosts and the traps they set up to keep the knight from defeating the evil that plagues the area. Unlike many indie games that stick to a 2D style, this game takes full advantage of Unity by pushing 3D graphics, animations, and a birds eyes camera to follow the player. Not only does the game look beautiful, it sounds beautiful. Every sound in the game plays perfectly with what it is complimenting on screen. But if you like your game silent, this game has the ability to silence just the SFX, Music, or both if that’s what you’re into. Like the sound, this game has video settings that allows your game to be windowed, fullscreen, and different resolutions so no monitor will feel left out.

Nazi Labs
I mean its an alright game when it’s on sale anyway but the main reason I got it is because I wanted to collect the trading cards to make the badges that this game had. The game itself does in fact keep me entertained though I really wish it still had its badges…
Sorry although the game itself is alright I’m really upset that it doesn’t have its badges anymore…
-Maybe bring the badges back for this game??

You occasionally get lots of drops on the first few stages which really helps and got me to the end. This is a pretty basic game but it has a bad b movie charm about it, enough to keep me entertained.

This game has some great potential, but unfortunately is full of bugs and is barely playable in its current state. There are several bugs in the actual gameplay, but more frustratingly, in the graphics rendering as well.
Most seriously, when there are too many objects on the screen (particularly many XP pickups or projectiles), the framerate drops through the floor (~5FPS) and movement becomes extremely glitchy. I have been unable to progress beyond the second boss because at some point, inevitably, I will reach a room with too many XP drops or bullets and it will lead to an untimely death.

as someone with a remarkable 352 hours logged into this game, It is absolutely amazing. not to be a pretentious ass and ramble on about it, but there is so much content unlockable for free after the purchase of the game, and an almost limitless amount of possible play time. 10/10 game
