Flat Heroes
Despite my positive recommendation, I have one major complaint about this game: your avatar is a square that rolls to move.
Hrm… a SQUARE that ROLLS… does anyone else see the problem with the physics of this?
So if you want to move your square just a little bit, you are out of luck because the square will roll back to where you started or will roll further forward than you want if you hit a certain threshold. If your square is tilted in air, you could land on your corner and move into danger. If you land on the edge of a ledge, even if you are flat, if your center of mass is not on the ledge, you can roll off. You can wall cling, but only if one of the sides of your square completely touches the wall, so again, if your square is tilted and you hit the wall with a corner, this can mess you up. I can’t tell you how many times I got fracked by this baffling mechanic. In my humble opinion, it doesn’t make the game any more fun or unique, the game is way too hard otherwise to warrant this extra challenge, and it actually goes against the game’s minimalist street cred (if it were me, I would have made it more like Thomas Was Alone and have the little squares just slide along instead).

I absolutely recommend this game if you like easy-to-get-into platformers, couch co-op, and/or games with subtle depth.
The most recent update as of this review added Survival mode, which is really six modes (each basically an endless mode with the goal being lasting longer than anyone else, but remaining distinct enough to be different modes). This includes a mode called Twitch, which is a Twitch integrated mode that allows the audience to pick the next obstacles the streamer faces. Survival mode(s) in general each have a scoreboard for those who like to get competitive.

Lumberhill
Super fun family games with kids and local coop, best at 3 and 4 local players. Fun to play, easy to play, commands are fine (who ever complains about commands “not being easy” or “hard to figure out” must be playing with their keyboard and never played local coop games as they all tends to be similar. We like this a bit less then Unspottable (our favourite local coop game), but we like Lumberhill more then Boomerang Fu and tons more then Cake Bash. It’s easy to pick up and many game modes and many levels.

A fun campaign/co-op. Multiplayer is very difficult for the human worker. My brother and I can hardly complete any quests with the animal player actively working against you.

Aloof
Aloof has a lovely unique atmosphere and simple to pick up gameplay but with insane depth. And I think I only started scratching the surface. It also has many multiplayer modes! Start for the vibe and stay for the combo’s.

Let’s Cook Together
We love this game!
The mechanics are very unique and funny.
Throwing food around in panic while stuff on Your stove is burning, not realising, that Your partner has no free hands and the food just lands on their head… good moments…
We laughed and yelled so much while playing this game.
The graphics are nice and fun, the gameplay is quite challenging yet fair.
I very much hope, that there will be more restaurants in the future.
Very addictive!!

If you like playing overcooked with your significant other (or 1 other buddy) you are going to absolutely love this. I can nearly garantuee it.
Dishes (and the order in which they appear) are not randomized. So, it often feels a bit more fair than overcooked because it is pure skill and does not involve the roll of the dice.
Biggest con?
You can only play with 2. No way to play alone unless you want to somehow play with 2 controllers at the same time. And also no way to play with 3 or 4. Which does feel like a bit of a wasted opportunity.

Very cool little game! Has a variety of content and gameplay, to play with your family and friends. Also, the team mode is very cool. What I really like is the way you can set your objectives: it’s free for all. You can try gather the best loot, try to survive, try to sabotage other players, try to kill them and steel their loot, try to gather the special loot only, try to have the best hat, etc., it’s very open-ended.
Watch out for hot-heads, might pick up some heat from the other players :) Better served chilly.

When you start the game, the training section welcomes you and the training easily teaches you everything you need to know.
-
The graphic designs of the game belong to a full RPG world. The dark and jagged designs of the dungeons make you feel like you are on a real battlefield.
-
One of my favorite features of the game is that there are parry, block and Dodge mechanics in the game. It literally immerses you in the action. These are indispensable features for the rpg world.

After playing for around 5 hours (multiple playthroughs) I’ve gathered some thoughts.
It’s an okayish game right now. It needs more content and a good amount of polish but I’ve encountered no bugs that made it impossible to play. Also I’m giving a positive review because I like the concept and I hope, that there is more to come (more enemies, different locations, and I am especially looking at you Roguelike-mode!)
I hope to come back to this game and find a solid and polished game but for now, here are some things that I would change or improve a little bit and some bugs I’ve encountered.

A Year Of Rain
As a Warcraft/Starcraft and Command & Conquer Kid, I was positively surprised to hear there’s someone taking a stab at a new RTS.
It’s heartwarmingly reminiscent of those games. Yeah, let me go grab my fucking Pulitzer, I bet there is a category for stating the obvious. Of course most RTS games are akin to the merciless RTS Emperor sitting on the throne made out of the bones of anyone who dares step into their domain.
Reading it was Daedalic running straight into that chainsaw, I was prepared for another mixed bag.

A Year of Rain
A new, unique RTS that had potential, but due to lack of publisher faith, was crippled at launch and abandoned soon after
So… This game is pretty good. It’s pretty much like a Warcraft 3 spiritual successor. Better than WC3 Reforged in a lot of ways.
As much as I want to love this game however I can’t pretend I’m not disappointed. The game was released unfinished, and abandoned very quickly. I don’t think Daedalic had any faith in it, they released it before it was ready and didn’t even give it a chance to build momentum and customer faith. They were hoping for a big launch with their unfinished early access game, didn’t get it, and abandoned the game rather than wait. As a game dev I understand the circumstance, but you can’t expect an EA title to sell like a finished one. It does come with a beefy campaign, that can be played solo or coop. It has full on voice acting, in game cutscenes, etc. Plus skirmish mode, and of course Online mode. So the content is there, it was mostly finished even, but as expected needed work, which is the whole point of early access. Pathfinding can be pretty bad sometimes, which REALLY hurts the play experience in an RTS. Other than that however the game-play is pretty polished and AYOR really gives WC3 reforged a run for it’s money IMO. I do hate the Coop AI, because I prefer to play solo and I have always hated Coop RTS campaigns with AI allies (like Red Alert 3) but still the game has SO MUCH potential it makes me depressed. I’m just disappointed that Daedalic seemingly launched this game to try and make back as much of their money as possible without ever really planning to support it, they basically lied about it, but in an underhanded way so they could shrug off blame.

A silly and humourous game where you ride a shopping cart with a goat. The premise and gimmick is that you are both screaming while in the cart and this is helps you move and maneuver around. So basically the whole game is filled with shrieking and screaming, which can get annoying after a long time of playing for some after the novelty wears off. But it is still quite funny for the most part. There are plenty of stages and obstacles to go through where you earn stars depending on the course, whether it be on speed or collecting objects etc. Some replayability along with it because of the 3 star rating system for the levels so at times you may come back to gain all 3 within the levels that was unable to achieve prior. The difficulty of the game is also good with the stages becoming more elaborate and complicated as it progress. More various and difficult obstacles that come up. Moving around in the cart is also quite fun as you jump over gaps, drift and zig zag around. There are also collectables to be had, for example you can gain headwear that can be equipped as you pass through levels and gain them, which is neat. Along with the singleplayer mode, there is also a co op mode as well as a party pvp mode where you can vs other friends in various events. So these do add some extra element of fun where you can play this rowdy game with others.
