Trigonarium
This is EXCELLENT. I bought it on sale, and would happily pay full price.
I loved Geometry Wars, Waves and countless other 2-stick shooters (also old enough to have loved Asteroids…), but this feels fresh. It’s perfectly polished, and the addition of constant mid-game changes to the arena shape gives you something new to run away from, learn, and sometimes use to your advantage.
No unfair deaths, no easy/lazy ways to grind through levels, no smart bombs, and in challenge mode just one life.

Trigonarium is a very solid twin-stick shooter that has never received the recognition and love it well deserves. If you find the Geometry Wars games to be too fast for you, but you enjoy the mechanics of Super Stardust HD, then this is the game you want to have a go at. Unlike many other titles in the same price bracket, this one appears to have been tested thoroughly: I don’t recall experiencing any bugs whatsoever.
This title is critically underrated and at only three euros it’s an absolute steal. I urge everyone to give it a whirl!

I have been a huge fan of Asterix since my childhood. Played XXL 1 many many times and 2 sporadically and loved them very much.
This game is a disgrace to Asterix (XXL). The developers didn’t attempt to make a 3D game like the other two games have been and made some random “mobile top down” game for the quick cash grab. The menu interface is even ripped off straight out of the XXL 2 remaster. No effort put into it in any way.
The game looks nice, going for the collectibles is very fun and bringing back a specific Roman from the very first Asterix comic (and animated movie) is a great touch. I think that is about all covering the positives of this game.

Geometric Feel the Beats
Loved the game! Remembers me of Space Invaders, but at the same time its quite different (in a great way). I’ve been playing for hours, the music is great and the game has a good pacing. Hope the developers make some sort of player for the musics within the game, it would be awesome. I certainly recommend this game!

Have you ever wondered what would be the mashup of Space Invaders with Tron’s neon lights and some well chosen music to spice it?
That would be Geometric Feel the Beats!
And knowing that the game hasn’t a game over is a relief! Because you can just relax destroying the amount of geometric figures that appears on the screen, with a mix of trying to maintain the score multiplier and raise your ranking! =]
Oh! That’s not all!
The released coop mode is a lot of fun! I enjoyed tracing an strategy with a friend to try to maximize our score! xD

🌎 Overview 🌏
The game is a frustrating slog that thankfully does not take very long to complete. It is a shame because this game has some fun ideas, none of them are executed well unfortunately. Only buy this game on a deep sale for its coop.

KeyWe
Amazing game. Fun to play with your significant other or a close friend. Requires just the right amount of teamwork where you need to do a level a couple times or more to complete it if you’re going for all the achievements. Overcooked vibes, controller recommended.
This game however, gets a down vote from me due to the TERRIBLE, COMMON, AND MAJOR GLITCHES in this game that completely ruin the experience. Boxes sometimes will not move when you run into them, ruining your time on a level. Boxes sometimes cannot be pulled when you try to pull them multiple times, ruining your time on a level. Dashing will glitch out and make it so you cannot dash anymore for the remainder of the level unless you butt-drop - doing exactly the same thing when you try to dash again, ruining your time on a level. Mail sometimes being thrown into mail slots make it in the mail slots but don’t count towards score, ruining your score on a level. Buckling up the mail while it’s being fed sometimes glitches out completely and makes it so you can’t feed the animal or finish bucking up the mail - making it so you cannot complete the level at all.

KeyWe is so good i really recommend anyone that likes interesting and thoughtful co-op experiences to give this a try, it’s a truly unique experience. Even though it stands on its own if i had to compare KeyWe to anything I would say the closest gameplay loop is that of Overcooked where you’re trying to complete a common objective and need to work together in order to achieve it. various things need to be done in order to reach that goal and you’ll have to decide quickly who is doing what tasks. If you work well with the person you’re playing with this obviously makes things a lot easier to manage.

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.

Operation: Tango
Operation: Tango is an asymmetrical co-op game (similar to a game like We Were Here) where one player plays as an agent and the other as a hacker, and you must communicate with each other to progress through the game. I generally found the missions to be interesting and challenging, with parts of one or two missions being a bit unclear what you were supposed to do (even after having completed it as both the agent and hacker!). There are 6 missions and 10 challenges, with the missions taking about 6-7 hours to complete, and the challenges taking 3-4 hours to complete at the highest level. The game’s overall aesthetic and UI is nice, and I enjoyed the music.

Gelly Break Deluxe
I was sponsored to play this for a few hours with a friend, we really enjoyed it and will likely stream it some more. It’s got a clever co-op mechanic and the map design was fun and the soundtrack was also great, though sadly I couldn’t even find it on YouTube. We had a few issues with remote play but it did work and presumably that isn’t an issue on Switch either. Good fun :)

My Review: https://youtu.be/-Ueu03A11gY
I’m already a big fan of 3D Platformers, but one that adds in a twin stick shooting mechanic is not only unique but proves to be a ton of fun! As of writing this, I’m less than halfway through the game, but as a big fan of the genre, this one is doing a lot of things I like already.
There’s beautiful and vibrant graphics, fun boss battles, interesting platforming challenges and of course, a little bit of bullet hell shooting thrown in to mix it all up. The switching mechanic (switching between the 2 main characters) is very interesting as well. While this has been done before, the developer has gone out of their way to implement it so that it pulls double duty being able to break glass, shields and other assorted things.

Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime
LiaDS is a very cool game. You are on a mission to restore love to the galaxy in your spaceship, with either one player and an AI helper, or local co-op. It has a pretty unique gimmick, in that you must move your characters from station to station in order to control parts of the ship you’re flying. What this means in practice is that most of the time one person will be flying the ship, while the other moves between the guns and the shields defending you. In special circumstances both players will have to man the defenses while the ship idles.

Comment:
Sometimes a little gem of a game appears and rocks your gaming life. This is one of those games. Charged with flying a space ship against the forces of Anti-love you have up to seven stations to operate. Singleplayer is doable with an AI pet buddy who you assign to which station he should go to. However, the AI cannot fly the ship for you and some boss fights prove more difficult. Still, it is nice to have AI that actually works and you can finish the whole campaign with. Apart from one achievement you can do the entire game solo. But should you? Well … not really. This game is built around playing with another person (or people) and it shows. The intense way this game brings people together means you will both argue and celebrate together. I can recommend it as a team-building game as well. This comes from the fact that no player is useless. Whether it is operating the shields, engines or weapons, it all is needed to ensure victory. This shows especially true in boss fights. Large amount of difficulty settings helps make the game more accessible to new/casual gamers. But at the same time more veteran players can opt for the higher difficulties for an added challenge. Sadly, there is no online multiplayer. While I get the sentiment behind the point of having a real person play next to you (it is incredibly great) it sadly is not an option for everyone. Therefore online play would be more than welcome. Personally I had a HUGE amount of fun playing this game, in solo play, but especially with my wife and her bro. So much fun in fact that I would dare say this is the best co-op game I have ever played. It mixes all the right elements together and creates an experience like no other. If you have a person (or people) who can come over and play with you this is a must-have game!
