The Little Acre
The Little Acre is one of those games you don’t really want to give a negative review, mainly because of it’s beautifully hand-drawn animations. If there was a ‘mixed’ choice I would have chosen that one.
First of all, the game is really short. I left the game running while doing something else so I can’t say how long it really is but I’m pretty sure it’s less than 2 hours and I did not rush through the game.
A short game does not have to be bad but in this case it does hurt the story. Personally to me it felt like the game was rushed, especially at the end. There are still several things unexplained at the end of the game as well. Voice acting was good enough, not amazing but it didn’t really have to be. I did notice the voice actors got less lines as the story progresses.

Let me preface this review by saying The Little Acre has tons of charm and care put into it. The animation is all frame by frame and it looks so beautiful, the voice acting is great and the characters are all really likeable. It’s a very lovely game.
Unfortunately it is just too short - your first playthough will probably not last more than one hour and a few minutes. Usually I wouldn’t say a game being short is necessarily a negative aspect, but for an adventure game, and one with big potential such as this, that’s nowhere near enough time for anything to be well developed, as it’s over before you know it. Worse, the gameplay is split between two characters in different situations, so you get even less time and development with each of them.

Tyrgard Archer VR
You know, this game’s actually pretty good.
Honestly, I read the other reviews and I almost expected not to like this, but I’m glad I gave it a… Shot ;)
Best part is trying desperately to dodge the spears getting hauled at you from all sides, and just, not being able to hit a single thing (imma need a lot of practice, lol)
EDIT:
They fixed some stuff I complained about, cool.

This game is awesome! Fun graphics, fun gameplay, You can clearly feel yourself getting better and better the more you practice, and the upgrades for the bow is a nice touch.
There is a good balance between when to charge the bow and when to do quick arrow barrages.
Would definitely recommend this game.

Teodoro and the Evil Machines
WHAT IS TEODORO AND THE EVIL MACHINES?
It is an action shoot-em-up, shmup “or schump” type game but with a visual style, history and difficulty adapted for kids with these features:
EASY MODE: Any inexperienced player will be able to finish the game and learn all his mechanics well, allowing him to improve by removing frustration.
MULTIPLAYER COOPERATIVE GAME : Two players can share the same game at the same time, helping each other.
History
TEODORO’s home lived in peace, tranquility and harmony in a perfect balance using the magic and vital energy that emanated from that land.
But one day a door opened from which some very aggressive monsters emerged with horrendous machines that destroyed everything. They installed gadgets to take the vital energy of everything that lived to feed their machines of war and to go to other worlds to continue with their pillages.
TEODORO returned from his adventure and saw all that: “Help us Teodoro” said the sages, “You are the only one who can save the universe from these monsters”.
But TEODORO needs your help! Do you dare to try it?
Game modes
EASY MODE: Designed 100% for inexperienced players to remove frustration and allow training reflexes and abilities.
MIDDLE MODE: Access to all screens in the game on a slightly more difficult difficulty than the simplest mode.

HaremKingdom
9/10
20 hrs for a fast reader
18+ Patch: https://www.johren.games/games/download/haremkingdom-dlc-en/
For:
-
People who want harem routes:
-
People who want a light hearted comedy
Not For:
-
People who want a deep story
-
People who want a 1 on 1 relationship with a character
-
People turned off by incest (half-sister)
-
People annoyed by minor bugs with the VN system
HaremKingdom is the 2020 Smee game, winner of a 2020 pink award from Moe Game Award, the 4th officially localized Smee game, and the 1st one to be localized by Shiravune. Like in typical Smee fashion this is a very light hearted comedy featuring virgin heroines, but this time Smee uses the recently popular Isekai setting and features harems instead of single pairings. Also in typical Smee fashion, this is better than every Smee game that came before it, imo, but that recommendation comes with a lot of caveats.

I swear Japanese can actually make good comedy when they try, HaremKingdom is the proof. The game is absolutely littered with over-the-top humor and intentional ridiculousness, it takes tropes from isekai and fairytale fantasies and twists the shit out of them to fit into the game’s crazy story. Comedy is all about subverting expectations, after all. When it comes to jokes, well, it’s almost always the delivery that sells. And yeah… This game does deliver. Seriously, HaremKingdom is legitimately the funniest game (VN) I’ve played (read) this year, no contest. Royal Seal of Approval.

Ravva and the Cyclops Curse
I’m pretty surprised by the potential with this game. It’s pretty short, say an hour for a run if you take your time? But it’s got a bit of replayability to it if you’re going for the achievements or a high score. Once you’ve learnt the game (And you’re going to have to because it’s a pretty tough game until you learn patterns and timings.) the way you play is quite different.
Your first time, you’ll be best served taking your time to scan for secrets with the yellow eye shot and nabbing powerups and spare lives while you progress through the levels. The time limit is generous to the point where it’s rare you’ll hit double digits even combing each level for hidden things so there is no rush except for the sake of points.
! Speaking of which you’ll need 500,000+ of them by the end of the last level if you want to be able to find the secret ending.

Played the game through on Normal Mode on stream and beat it. Here’s my thoughts.
First off, props for the pre-game menu. Being able to set your screen size, VSynch and controls from the start help. I recommend VSynch btw for this game. The game is well-designed: graphics are as expected, gameplay is smooth and responsive, and the game captures well in OBS (for those of you looking to make content for the game).
The tutorial is actual kind of fun, it gives you the information you need without dragging out the time. The acutal game has the appropriate amount of difficulty curve, you won’t feel overwhelmed at the amount of enemies or the timing of the traps. A high amount of secets will let scroungers have their fun, but the game is also perfectly paced for the speedrunner.

Potion Party
I received this game as a birthday gitf. My friends and I have agreed not to buy multiplayer/party games as a group, since our schedules rarely allow us to actually play something together. So, I left Potion Party on my wishlist, afraid to waste money on yet another game I wouldn’t get to play with anyone. I was actually quite happy to receive it, tho, and more so when I realized I could use the remote play together to invite others to play with me. I didn’t felt like burning my PC while playing with friends, so I’d say it’s quite fun. It’s challenging, but just enough not to cause frustration or annoyance when someone makes a mistake. You can also play it alone just fine, and some strategies work better when you’re by yourself or part of a duo instead of a quartet. It’s a great game and I’m very happy with it. 3

First of all, I absolutely adore this game.
The art is cute and it’s pretty fun to play. I spent hours playing it with my friends and had a blast.
That being said, I have an issue with the multiplayer in this game. This game is only couch co-op (meaning local) or is remote play. I had to do the remote play as all my friends that wanted to play were online, which made playing the game difficult. The game was extremely laggy for my friends and it made playing the game very challenging at times. VS mode is pointless to us, because it just lags too much for it to be fun.

No violence in this game! NecroBoy is just a kid, godammit.
Sneak In: a zuma game
Inexpensive, and is exactly the game you think it is with a ton of content. Every once in a while the randomization on a level is brutal though.
