I had a lot of fun with this game! Fast paced action, good amount of different weapons, funny characters… Despite the simple art style, it also looks gorgeous (I’m in love with some of the light effects). You can thoroughly customise the difficulty with several sliders in Options, where you can also find some helpful accessibility choices.
Some good hours of button smashing fun watching enemies fly all around, and a bit more strategy needed against tougher enemies or particular combinations of them. Some collectibles, hidden stuff, secret ending… Long story short, great indie and good value for your money. As I always say, if it gives you more hours of entertainment than a cinema ticket, it deserves at least that money, right?

This game appeared on my store page and the name caught my attention. After seeing that the game wasn’t that much I decided to buy it, and I can say the game is definitely worth the price. If you ever just want the ability to rip through hordes of enemies and just feel the satisfaction of taking out a large group of minions at once then this game differently achieves that.
One thing for certain is that you need to have patience since some of the bosses are pretty challenging. But with enough perseverance, you can beat any of the bosses. This game is a 10/10 for me and even though I have beaten the game to 100% I am definitely going to play more.

I’ve gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by this game! If you enjoy puzzle games and can handle retro style graphics it is an excellent pickup, especially for the price it is offered at! Enjoyed it so much I ended up playing the entire thing in one sitting!

A 100% playthrough (3-starring maps) will run you roughly 5-7 hours
-
You aren’t punished for spending seeds, so don’t be afraid to if you need to! No achievement or bonus for not spending them on checkpoints, hints, or the shop upgrade.

Cute pixel graphics, relaxing music, and exciting logic puzzles.
Some levels take a few minutes to solve, but some is pretty hard, especially if you don’t wanna use “tips” and get all three stars (as I did). I really like it and If you’re looking for an addictive logic challenge this game is recommended :)

Infinite Dungeon Crawler
This “review” summarises my early impressions after having played this game for about 6 or 7 hours. I may update it when I learn something worth adding or changing.
Edit: Having played more than 30 hours, I find the game more interesting than before. I’ve updated my review, but decided to put the update in a forum post.
My original review:
In a nutshell: I recommend this game wholeheartedly to all players who are willing to adjust to somewhat unusual game mechanics and to cope with sometimes lengthy turn-based fights. And I recommend to try the free-to-play version first. Go through a few fights, and then make up your mind. Be prepared for some initial frustration, because fights can be lengthy, with both you and your opponent missing most of the time. You may decide that this is too boring and not worth your time. But you may also take it as a motivation to find out why there are so many misses and what you can do to hit more often - which is not so difficult once you understand the game mechanics and rules better. You can experiment (the fighting log tells you exactly what is going on), or you can read the great guide which you can access via the Steam Guides section of the game. There is also an interactive tutorial, which focusses mainly on the fighting system, but may be a bit too abstract to be used for your very first fight(s). It may be better to start playing without the tutorial, and to play it after your first, say, two or three fights, or in conjunction with reading the guide.

QV
I just beat QV in both normal and hard mode and here’s my thoughts. QV is a really cool puzzle game with cute graphics and fun puzzle pieces. The game overall is fun, relaxing, and quite lengthy (I played through both normal and hard mode in my first playthrough). Throughout the game, you are given levels that introduce a new puzzle piece, the next level would test your understanding of the new puzzle piece, and another one that will challenge you (
! one puzzle piece I really liked were the penguins, requiring the player to be stealthy and cautious around them). Replayability in this game is good, there’s easy, normal, hard, and QV modes for each level, keeping puzzle enthusiasts entertained longer than they anticipate. Achievement hunters will like this game too.

Very cute and lots of fun!
Firstly, I want to state that I played this with a controller, and it was a lot easier than a keyboard, so keep that in mind before you buy.
I really enjoyed playing this game, and even after I finished I felt like I’d happily play it all over again.
Don’t let the cute art style fool you, this game can be quite challenging to figure out at times, particularly on the harder levels. I personally really liked that. If you like the game play and figuring out all the puzzles, I would recommend playing the levels on ALL difficulties. Many of the levels can seem quite different when you do so!

The Wonderful 101: Remastered
I’ve been playing this game for YEARS back when it released on the Wii U. I never thought in a million years that The Wonderful 101 would have an official PC release. And yet here we are. So how does it hold up?
Maybe I’m being biased here but I genuinely believe this is PlatinumGames and Hideki Kamiya’s magnum opus. The combat system is extremely intricate and complex but damn does it feel satisfying to master. This is NOT a cutesey wootsey Pikmin-style adventure game. This is very much an action game that ranks up there with games such as Devil May Cry and Bayonetta (2 other games Hideki Kamiya is responsible for. Go figure.). This is a game that does NOT hold your hand whatsoever nor does it do any spoonfeeding. You’re gonna get punished. You’re gonna get destroyed. You’re gonna get nothing but consolation prizes along the way. You’re probably also gonna get frustrated with the weapon switching gimmick and say the controls are bad and that it should’ve stayed on the Wii U where it belongs.

At first this game can seem very inaccessible due to its abnormal controls and original home on the Wii U. Hopefully this review will clear up some misconceptions as well as highlight, in short, what makes this game so incredible.
TLDR: PLAY THE DEMO, it will give you a basic feel for the gameplay as well as a showcase of the game’s spectacle. Any fan of Bayonetta, DMC and the likes should play this game right now. This game is incredible and my favourite of all time. The controls are responsive (when played with a controller) and the combat is incredibly mechanically deep, combined with an immense level of spectacle through its 20 hr story. It is just Wonderful.

BattleJuice Alchemist
Juice, the alchemist, is called to Caribou Creek to fight the demons that roam the lands. As your unique version of Juice you explore the procedurally generated wilderness that once was New England. Fight evil in classic action RPG isometric top down view and in bullet-time close combat.
Find and craft items with game-changing powers. Master BattleJuice Alchemist’s deck-building mechanics by arranging your compilation of flasks to suit your playstyle. Accentuate your character beyond character customization by using ritual magic as long-term buffs. Meet strange creatures from the Crossroads while the dark plot of BattleJuice Alchemist unravels.
UNIQUE ITEMS AND CHARACTER BUILDS
Loot and Craft
As an alchemist you wear no armor and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.
Unique Skill System
In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, “jucified” way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.
EXPLORE A DARK WORLD
Procedural Landscapes
The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you completed the main story and no playthrough will be the same.
Dark Lands to Discover
You are influenced by daytime and weather effects and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.
ENGAGING COMBAT
Classic isometric ARPG action
Fight your enemies from afar in classic top down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.
Close Combat with Bullet-time
Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one on one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.
Ocean’s Heart
Ocean’s Heart is from your classic Zelda-like games genre, it’s an action adventure with tons of exploration where finding items and solving some minor puzzles involving moving or bringing objects and helping people paves your progress and makes your journey easier, the main difference I’d say is it has a simplified alchemy system for buffs and aids that reminds me of Gothic if it was a 32-bit game.
You play as Tilia a young girl with a talent for fighting and a dream of joining the Navy who is in search of her missing father which runs a bar, but is also in the Navy, who disappeared in search of a mysterious band of pirates who suddenly attacked their village and kidnapped Tilia’s best friend an adventurer herself, Tilia then embarks on a journey around the island in search of clues from them and meanwhile helping people with their problems sometimes resulting in rewards that either help or upgrade her capacities be it health, offense or defense. Speaking about upgrades although the game has RPG in it’s name it doesn’t deal with experience points, but it does put numbers in how much offense or defense you have, much like Zelda in general it requires you to explore and find the power ups or upgrades to make things easier against monsters, hostiles or the occasional traps.

Garden Story
Note: I received Garden Story as a birthday gift.
I am really enjoying my time with Garden Story- while it’s not a perfect game by any means, and could use a bit of polish in some minor areas, overall it’s charming, addictive and well made. I’m not done yet, but I’m looking forward to finishing the game- it’s basically a cross between a zelda game and a basic farming game. The game tends to lean much more heavily into the adventuring than the home-steading, so play with that in mind.
Things they did well;
– Real player with 42.0 hrs in game
Garden Story is a pretty nice game; a relaxing Zelda-like I still enjoyed a fair amount, but it is not worth 20 dollars.
I believe that it is “an action adventure game in denial.” It sounds like it wants to be something a bit closer to Stardew Valley, but it definitely failed there. The gardening is a very basic and secondary aspect of the game. You prepare the spot, plant the crop, and go do other stuff while they grow over the course of a few in-game days. You don’t even need to water them. It is about typical Zelda-y things, adventuring and fighting, but it is trying to specifically not center too much around those aspects, and ends up hindering the only real content it has.
