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.

Puyo Puyo Champions
This game is puyo straight through. No Tetris, no influx of rating and offers some pretty good tutorials for beginners. I find this much better than Tetris because it’s more than an RNG battle when you vs Puyo as a Tetris or Tetris as a Puyo. That’s all the positives I can give because this game is overrun by bugs and the ones where they can destroy your experience as a player, even for a beginner.
For starters, the ranking in the game is more refined to the point where you are not seeing huge rating changes like in PPT (Puyo Puyo Tetris) and they’ve actually fixed it so that you aren’t getting matched up by a person way stronger than you. The ranking system matches you with a player near your skill level, but here’s the thing, the skill level could be vastly big still, even for a beginner. I’ve been matched with people in the 3000s while I was a 2200 and it completely ruined the experience for me as a veteran puyo player. The fun thing is that you can’t just back out because it locks you into a 30-second agreement to battle each other, which I find not needed because of how many times I and other players bumped into these high levelled players. I even faced against players more than 500 rating points below me and I feel just awful being forced to battle against them. I feel that this is maybe because of the lack of players since steamcharts says that mainly 30-40 people play this around the world per day, but you can get matched up with people from the other side of the world and start lagging, making you do wrong inputs. I do say the 30-second rule stops people from delaying to accept the duel and even gets rid of AFK players which is a plus for this game when it came out from the update. I enjoy playing against others around my level but if I’m going to be decimated by a guy way superior than me, then it’s no fun. This evolves into a few other problems and bugs that are introduced into the ranking system, which is where all the bugs are found.

$10 for what makes PuyoPuyo so fun: the online battles.
If you’re a new player, like, BRAND new to PuyoPuyo, I’d recommend that you hold it off for a little while before buying it. Not to get it on a sale, but for when new solo content gets added in the form of free updates. Since as this game stands of the time I’m writing this review, 90% of its content panders to multiplayer, while the rest are just freeplay CPU battles. No story mode and such, which is to be expected considering the budget price.

Puyo Puyo™Tetris®
A Brief Summary
Overall, this is an amazing puzzle fighter, with a good amount of content to keep you coming back.
The Casual Experience (Singleplayer)
As a puzzle game crossover it does its job. The Tetris and Puyo mechanics are solid. It has everything you’d expect in a Tetris game like score, time attack and endless modes, plus a few other competitive modes (my favorite of which being Swap). The game even has a charming little adventure mode that’s actually a pretty good introduction to all the various modes in the game, and as a new player the adventure mode was actually relatively challenging.

I don’t even know where to start with this masterpiece.
Ever since 1991, this game has amassed an amazing group of loyal followers who enjoy perhaps every single installment of the game. This is one of those video games that only gets better and better with each sequel. It’s a competitive puzzle game, and when I mean puzzle, you gotta think carefully and use your head to carefully but also swiftly stack your puyos in such a way that you’ll be able to make create amazing chains as they erase themselves one after another.

Cake Bash
I love this game - it’s cute and fun! You choose between different cakes and their “flavors” and either play by yourself locally, local couch with other people, or online against others in a series of party games to become the “tastiest.” The cakes are so cute and make adorable noises, and it’s hilarious to watch them run and throw punches.
To make things easier, if you want to know how to unlock a certain “flavor,” you can look it up in the “Collection” section of the main menu screen, and it will tell you what requirements you need to make in order to unlock them. No more looking up walkthrough’s on YouTube!

This is absolutely my favorite local multiplayer PC title. It has good controller support for multiple types of controllers at the same time, great games for several styles of competition, cute characters, and smooth easy-to-learn but challenging enough to master gameplay that will make it so your whole family can play, and probably each player will have a few “challenges” they are best in. It’s both cute and funny and a bit brutal, but even as a vegan I can’t feel too bad for desserts knocking each other around. This is a wonderful release that we have been looking forward to for 2+ PAX events and it has totally delivered.

GENSOU Skydrift
Fans of Touhou, Sonic Riders and/or Mario Kart Double Dash (or 8 if you think about it another way) rejoice: you have a game that, while small and a tad light on content, tries to accommodate these diverse qualities into one package. You have your Touhous. You have your anti-gravity track-design. And you have a tag-team mechanic - albeit one that doesn’t seem quite intuitive and might’ve done better with more explanations about some of the finer mechanics that underpin it. The way items are attained and gotten also is a little unorthodox and takes getting used to if you are used to fixed item box placement on tracks like I was.

Before I knew it, I racked up over 400 hours in this game. If that’s not the sign of a good game, I don’t know what is, so I figure it’s high time I give it thumbs up.
Starting off, it’s a simple but solid fun racer, 2 story mode campaigns to play through with a 3rd currently in development. If you want to go deeper, though, the online races and time attack modes coupled with this game’s surprising level of technical depth are what have really kept me with it for hundreds of hours.
The basics are you put two 2hus together (or the same one twice) and one surfs through the tracks on the other with the option to spend a small amount of spell meter to switch to the other at any time for a boost of speed and a change in stats. Spell meter can also be spent to roll for an item. The items you get are usually typical kart racer type things, but with full meter and enough time passed, you can pull a character specific Last Word spell with powerful race changing effects. Strategizing on how to use meter and when to go for and use a LW adds a nice level of depth to races and keeps things feeling fresh as you try and race against different characters.

Knight Club +
Tight controls, smooth gameplay, feels damn good when landing those combos.
The four weapons feels unique and powerful in their way:
-Dagger: Short range but the fastest weapon. Dagger mains will let you always guess which way to guard.
-Axe: Big hits with the most wide range, strongest at medium range. Powerful hits just melts the opponent HP.
-Spear: Longest range, hit them and ruin their tempo, baiting and spacing skill are essential if you don’t want to get murdered by those dagger mains. My favourite.

Really fun game, and a fantastic party game, would definitely suggest for a house party if you can get your hands on some controllers.
-
Easy to learn, not too many or confusing moves.
-
I love most of the characters and the weapons are all great.
-
Great UI, the sound design is very satisfying and along with all the clashing weapons and combos and stuff like that makes for a very fun experience, really good work.
And don’t get me started on the soundtrack. it’s a bop :D

Koi-Koi Japan [Hanafuda playing cards]
I just plain love it!
Hanafuda is a tough game to describe. When people ask me about it I usually just say “It’s a lot like Go Fish, but with a deck of Japanese flower cards”. This is only partially true, the game is a bit deeper than that, but at it’s core the game mixes chance and strategy into a really fun, really unique match game. The cards, the rules and the scoring can appear daunting at first, but once I got the hang of it (I have some experience with this game elsewhere) it is a really great and unique card game.
– Real player with 51.8 hrs in game
I can’t recommend this game at full price. If you have friends to play with, it might be worth buying in a sale.
Koi-koi is a Japanese card-matching game using Hanafuda cards. It requires the players to match same-suit pairs of cards from twelve suits of four cards to produce sets (‘yaku’).
This implementation of koi-koi is very basic. The single-player AI is predictable, and not particularly hard to win against. The single-player mode doesn’t have a lot of replayability value, as it’s just the same game over and over. The single-player DLC requires the player to make certain yaku to progress. Some of these are very rare. While the pictures that you get as a reward are nice, it’s immensely frustrating to be unable to progress until you get an ideal hand.
