B.ARK
Whether you are a fan of the Shoot em' up genre or just looking for something to play with your friends on a game night this is a nice game to play!
This game has fast-paced action with varied level design that will keep you playing it until the end, Keep in mind that this is a short but sweet game (Just like the classics such a Gradius) although considering the price tag that’s totally fair.
Although good this game is not perfect, some times the game throws you mandatory dialogue between a stage or before a boss battle and don’t get me wrong I love the characters and the great story they built here but once you want to replay this game or a stage it can become annoying, a skip button for those would be excellent.

☑️Challenging Shoot Em Up.
☑️An emotional story.
☑️Fun game to Co-op / Remote Play
❌Online-Multiplayer
B.ARK is a very colorful and cute throwback to the classic shoot em up games from the golden ages. Games like U.N. Squadron, R-Type and many others that hit’s a special place in a 80s/90s kids heart.
The game comes with a rather unusual twist, there is a solid emotional story about the crew of animals that have been lost in space after their team of scientists detached their space ship after being caught and pulled back down to earth by the aliens that were invading the planet.

We Need To Go Deeper
1. Amazing soundtrack that fits the atmosphere of the game completely. Which counts for battle and management of the ship into starting and or in between a adventure.
2. Anything game-breaking is immediately fixed usually by the awesome developers who spend so much of their time burning their eyes on the screen just to hear everyones suggestions and reports out.
3. Active developers in the community speaking and having conversation with the community in which they take ideas on from. (not that they need to, they’re not obligated to always respond or do work for everyone)

This game is so much fun. When you have even one other human to play it with, it is a comedy of errors as you try to manipulate your ship (which steers like a cow at the best of times, and a rock most of the time) into the depths of the Living Infinite, discovering all sorts of crazy new weapons and costumes along the way.
When you have even one other human.
It SAYS it’s playable single player, but that’s absolutely laughable. You can fill your submarine with a crew of bots that will nominally do things like slam their weakest wrenches against the holes in your ship or fire at every small enemy on your screen (even if it’s something you SHOULDN’T BE FIRING AT, like the totem that will spawn a ghost if you shoot at it but is perfectly safe if you steam gently past it)… but they won’t help you if you want a turn on the shooty shooty guns and want someone else to steer your yellow submarine. Nor will they help you bust through walls in your caving adventures if you happened to be holding an item that does not damage walls (like the chemistry set).

Battletoads
TLDR: Divisive visuals but solid gameplay. Different doesn’t mean bad. No online play option.
Battletoads. A popular TMNT clone with a series of games in the 90’s by Rare. Primarily a beat ‘em up with platforming, it did mixup the gameplay throughout the various stages with different genres. An iconic drumbeat would play when the game was paused. It was famously difficult and is still considered one of the hardest games of all time.
After a few cameos in recent years (KI and Shovel Knight cameos are both great) the Battletoads finally get their own game again. The end result is a good game but not without issues.

“If you try and take a cat apart to see how it works, the first thing you have on your hands is a non-working cat.”
~Douglas Adams
What the f*ck did I just… * sigh * OK, I’m not an angry fanboy. An old geezer? Yes. But not an angry fanboy. Actually, the thing is – I was never a big fan of Battletoads. Even though I did grow up with those games and ended up playing and finishing them all eventually (yes, even that less-known Master System version of Battlemaniacs that was only released in Brazil), the only game I really loved was the original NES version of Battletoads / Double Dragon. Now that was the toads at their best! The rest of the stuff… I can see why people loved those games, but personally, I never cared enough. And yet, when Microsoft announced that there’ll be a new Battletoads game? With RARE involved? I was really excited. I mean, the old arcade from 1994, while being pretty short and limited, showed a lot of promise and recent Killer Instinct game that came with Rash’s cameo, proved that they still got it with both the design and the original spirit. Just think about it – a longer version of 1994 arcade (which was the only game in the series that used to include blood, by the way) with juicy design and modern technology behind it. That’s what we’ve been waiting for all these years, right? Right?

This game is a great experience when introducing a loved one to video games.
It unfolds at a peaceful pace. This is not a platformer, yet it has platforms. It is not a walking simulator, yet there is walking. This is not a visual novel, yet it unfolds like a great book ending. It is not a puzzle game, yet it has puzzle logic. I would place it in the vague category of adventure games as it has its unique traits that took sparsely from different genres.
I played with my young kid and we loved it. The atmosphere is unique and fills the narrative to the point that the lack of dialogues carries on perfectly in my opinion.

Highly recommended.
I played this with my 4 year old and we had a great co-op experience. Naturally, I gave my little one the Controller and I took the good old keyboard myself.
I also role-played with my character. Basically, my character was always scared of everything and 40% confused and I used this to have long conversations and discovery activities with my little one.
The best part my little one liked is the “things we could do collaboratively”.
So I highly recommend this for parents who want to spend some time with their little ones.

There Will Be Ink
Cool isometric twin-stick shooter with a fun theme/premise and surprisingly deep gameplay (cover mechanics, stamina, dodge-roll, wind affects bullets, etc.). Current Beta and Alpha campaigns offer a good mix of challenge and fun. I’ve only played solo and two player coop so far but enjoyed both. There are a few levels that I died a lot on but with some unit upgrades and a change of tactics I was(/we were) able to pass them after a few more attempts. Having a T-Rex with an uzi definitely helped on one occasion. Will be checking back to see what other content and customization is added before this title leaves early access!
