I’ve played the local multiplayer several times with friends and have had a great time playing. The variety of game types and settings provide a lot of options for replayability. I can’t wait to play the campaign once it is released, especially since it can be played coop. Cymatically Muffed is reminiscent of older classics while still providing new and exciting mechanics of it’s own. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

WizardPunk
Had a good time, reminded me of Custom Robo quite a bit which I loved as a kid. I didn’t play with anybody, because it’s not online multi, which kinda sucks. But the single player had a lot to do. The guilds are a bit awkward to get through, but playing with a full build on day 6 was pretty sweet, lots of things to think about, pretty complex. Looking forward to future patches!

Fast, fun, satisfying fighting game that incorporates a nice blend of different character progression elements. It’s quick to learn but difficult to master and there’s plenty to experiment with. I’m partial to Ignissa but Vito is a close runner up. Looking forward to future updates!

Delta Squad
Delta Squad has nearly been out for a year now and I stumbled upon it while browsing the store pages for smaller games. I was visually attracted to the art style for a top down shooter and thought this was a game I could get my friends into after giving it a quick play through.
Art, Lighting & Rendering 5/5
Loved the appeal of the modeling, colors and textures.
Animation & FX 5/5
Music & Sound 5/5
I loved all the sounds the guns made, when they hit their targets or the environment nearby. I don’t know why but I enjoyed shooting the lamp post just to hear that ping sound. Voice overs took me back to the arcade days.

Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD
After playing through a string of story heavy games, I wanted to take a break from the immense amount of dialogue and play something more purely gameplay focused. While nominating games for the 2020 Steam Awards, reading the most innovative gameplay category made Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD pop into my head (which I ended up nominating for that category). Turns out this was exactly the type of game I was looking for.
While there are some platformer elements, Super Monkey Ball has the unique twist of giving the player control of tilting the stage, as opposed to moving the character on it. The resulting gameplay is unlike any other game and offers a refreshing set of challenges, even to players who have conquered numerous other genres. Being purely skill based, nothing is left to chance, no equipment will make the game easier, and the only leveling up is the skill gained from practicing, failing, and learning. Gameplay is quick to hop into and the perfect amount of time between failing a stage and respawning is enough to think about what can be improved, but not so much that failing becomes an annoyance. There is an assortment of playable characters each offering different stats and the stages themselves are tuned to this, with various intricacies that may make the stage easier or harder depending on the character played.

Kinda posting this review a tad late. I don’t think I’ve made my thoughts clear on this game just yet, but I know some people are taking newfound interest in the Monkey Ball series with the release of Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania on the horizon, so I want to express my thoughts on this game now.
I’ll just get this out of the way: Banana Blitz is not a fun Monkey Ball game . To many, this game is seen as a pretty good platformer, and I can get by that thought, but the way this game is structured does not fall in line with what makes a Monkey Ball game work, and it’s all because of one fatal flaw in this game’s design: jumping.

DreamWorks Spirit Lucky’s Big Adventure
NOTE: This has functional keyboard and mouse support, contrary to what the store page claims. Aside from platforming sections being a bit janky the default layout works just fine.
This is pretty fun, but it is almost criminally short for the initial asking price. For such a massive world around the Miradero town site, there’s not a whole lot to do in it once you’ve finished the main quest. Once you complete the side quests, there is literally nothing to do in it apart from riding around on Spirit until he needs grooming.

This game is really good! Beautiful scenery, massive open world, tons of quests/errands to do for people, and, of course, an exciting story. I haven’t got through the whole story, it’s very exciting so far, though! The reason I posted this review this early, though, is because I know lots of people considering wishlisting this might not even consider it worth getting, because it says that the keyboard and mouse is not supported, but, IMPORTANT, that is incorrect information!! You CAN use it, for this game, don’t know why it says it’s not supported, in this game, very misleading….the controls in-game are just shown by what controller buttons to press, yeah, with no option in-game to look at what the keyboard key bindings are, but they are still there, nevertheless, and do work. Because I’m a PC player, more than any other console, I’m used to using a keyboard and mouse, and didn’t like the controller when I tried it out, so am now playing this game with the keyboard and mouse, and, after trying out all the keys on my keyboard, I discovered all the keyboard controls for this game, which do work:

Catchy tunes inspired by the style and tone of yesteryear combined with some smart programming help capture that classic exploration feel.

Almazy
Almazy is our take on a classic genre that was introduced by a series of Boulder Dash® games and was followed by multiple sequels, re-releases and other games such as Repton and direct clones such as Emerald Mine.
You are a diamond collector in a world full of enemies and sophisticated combinations of caves and boulders. Conceptually it is a mix of good old arcade mechanics and puzzles that are not too mind-twisting yet interesting enough to solve in an environment full of unexpected enemies and obstacles.
This release features 100 hand-crafted levels that should please the mature fans of the genre and those who might be just starting their journey in the 2d arcade puzzle genre.
-
100 all-new hand-crafted levels.
-
Game controller/joystick support.
Coffence
Coffence is a cup fighting game where you fight for your coffee. Now just there is enough to get me excited 3 … everyone should always fight for a good cup of coffee :). The good thing about this is that anyone without skills can still have fun. Why more people did not buy this game yet, I have no clue. Give it a try and just do not take this game seriously!
Pros :
-
Beautiful environments and there are already enough locations to play in
-
Original Menu
-
Fun to play with friends
Cons/Suggestions:
– Real player with 9.7 hrs in game
Game crashed for both my friend and I when we tried to join eachother’s game. Finding an online match with strangers doesn’t work either, as the game stops searching within few seconds and crashes.
UPDATE August 3, 2019
I’ve unlocked 4 cups out of 5, then quit the game. When I launched back in, it appeared as if I didn’t unlock any.
UPDATE October 10, 2019
I’ve unlocked all of the cups a second time few weeks ago, but they’ve disappeared again and simply don’t want to stay in my collection.
