Overall I think the game is good I’m not sure it’s long enough or has enough to do to be worth 5.99, but it’s a cute game that kids could enjoy it’s pretty simple.
EDIT: The creator was super responsive and fixed every complaint I had about the game it’s short, but for the price of $5.99 it felt worth it.

An absolutely adorable Halloween romp through a quirky neighborhood full of people that dump gallons of candy into the bucket of a dog they think is a human. Well worth the price of admission! The developers have ironed out some minor issues too.
Be wary of Frankenstein. He’s a little Psy-cho.

METAL DOGS
Someone made a game based on the comic “We 3” and that makes me so happy 3
EDIT: If you like games that you can grind at and listen to podcasts atst, this is a great addition to that kind of game, much like Book of Demons.

Currently this game is fun for about 10-20 mins. I love the concept and almost Diablo II like gameplay in portions of it and it has potential to be quite good… but a lot of work is needed to make this a game worth $30.
I would say in the games current state it feels like a $5 game that you could spend an hour or 2 enjoying before you put it down and walk away from it forever.
Lots of issues with this game (most of which I would overlook if it was multiplayer…. but it’s not)
PROS:
- Game has potential to be an awesome game of dodging and timing attacks and customizing weapons

PAW Patrol The Movie: Adventure City Calls
Very low effort, buggy and looks like it was thrown together over a weekend. 34.99 GBP for this is a joke.

Wirewalk()↳
As an old school (S)NES RPG player I was really pleased to play this game, the gameplay feels like playing Zelda - A Link to the Past, with a Megaman like soundtrack ! The story shows a not so far future where people is even more dependent on technology in a clear criticism to our current society, I won’t do spoilers here but the jokes about this society are clever and made me laugh more than once. I felt like the game was fairly easy (maybe because I’m used to this kind of game) and made me want more, an expansion with more levels/bosses would be great. In a nutshell, entertaining with a nice message to the player.

Disclaimer, for transparency’s sake: the developer is a friend of mine however I’ll be reviewing this game as unbiased as possible.
Wirewalk is a typical Gameboy dungeon crawler adventure game in the molds of the first Zelda titles with a top-down gameplay and retro graphics.
First, the story: It is rather straightforward - you’re a girl named Rada who lives in a town suddenly plagued by a mysterious computer virus that renders technology inoperable. Fortunately, Rada knows her way around computers and has developed a program nicknamed “Wirewalk” in which she’s able to “go inside the code” to fix people’s various devices.

Best Friend Forever
Note: I updated this review after completing the game.
The Good:
This goes without saying but the dogs in this game are just so lovely. Best Friend Forever does a great job of combining the dating sim/visual novel elements with caring and training your dog. Having them be on screen at all times for you to interact with while out and about in the city is one of the standout features in the game, and makes me very thankful to be playing on a touchscreen laptop as the patting mini-feature translates really well to touchscreen input. The art for the dogs and the date options are a lovely soft 2D style. And the cast of characters includes tonnes of diversity, so hopefully there will be a love interest for everyone.

Best Friend Forever is a cute, relaxing game that I really liked, but it has some issues that make me a bit hesitant to recommend it.
Let’s start with the positives. Best Friend Forever is a super cute, wholesome game that I can genuinely say I enjoyed playing. The art is delightful; each one of the dogs is absolutely lovable, and the human characters all have personality and appeal. The backgrounds are very well-done, though at one point I did find myself wishing there were more variants. Overall, though, it’s a treat for the eyes. I didn’t even mind the loading screens because they were just that cute. It’s very pretty, you get the point.

Lost and Hound
Epic Games MegaGrant recipient and lauded for its innovation in gameplay and blind accessibility, Lost and Hound is a game like no other that follows the extraordinary Corgi, Biscuit. In Lost and Hound, your empowered canine senses make you a superhero. Heightened hearing and sense of smell will guide your paws as you work towards your goals, saving lives and averting tragedies.
As Biscuit your hearing will allow you to access information that’s inaccessible to humans. You will be able to hear through walls and use the information your audio senses gather to help track people and match up items such as those left at a crime scene with their owners.
Using your superior sense of smell you’ll be able to scent track your way to becoming a dog mercenary. Scent in Lost and Hound is represented by a low, pleasant humming sound. Similar to making your way through a maze where the way out would be invisible under normal circumstances, subtle sound or scent cues will guide you to your query.
As Biscuit you’ll travel around the world taking on many of the roles of real-world working dogs. From working in a hospital to assist with seizure detection and detecting cancer to herding sheep in the rough, Australian outback. Your work as a K9 tracker will take you to Japan, the Swiss Alps, the American wilderness, and many other locales. In between each mission, you’ll have the option to complete mini levels to earn extra money and travel to more exotic locations.
Features:
-
Travel around the world working as the strong-willed Corgi Biscuit.
-
Solve crimes, track down missing people, and assist those in need.
-
Use your superior hearing to listen for accelerated heartbeats, hear through walls, and more to piece together clues.
-
Follow subtle scent clues with your heightened sense of smell represented by sound queues to track leads.
-
Take on the roles of real-world working dogs; assist with seizure detection, be an emotional support for zoo animals, and more.
-
Complete mini levels to earn extra money to fund your K9 travels.
-
Meet new animal friends throughout your travels.
-
Fully blind-accessible.
Russian Subway Dogs
8/10: Russian Subway Dogs is a fun, silly arcade game of barking, snatching food out of the air, and surviving the hazards of the Russian subway like bears and chocolate bars. MOLODETS!
Russian Subway Dogs is based on a true, real-life occurrence of stray dogs in Russia using the subways to commute into the city in order to find better food, the commuting back to the suburbs for safer places to sleep. Choose from a collection of referential dogs and cats and get to filling your belly with shawarma and burgers before the other dogs and animals.

Oh c’mon this is a fantastic arcade game with a ton of charm and meat-on-the-bone. Yeah, the price is off-putting at first, but I assure you this is top quality stuff. There is a solid campaign mode that helps you learn the ropes in steps. There is an endless mode complete with Steam Leaderboards. And lots of awesome unlockable characters that are largely cameos from other indie games. It’s surprising how much great diversity they crammed in here. Finally, the pixel art and music couldn’t be better.

Disobedient Sheep
This game is completely mad and great fun in local multiplayer, especially with my young kids - it’s simple enough for them to enjoy and doesn’t really matter if you play it well or not. It becomes complete mayhem with several dangerous items appearing or about to appear as you try to guide or bark the sheep away from danger! The different play modes are fun, the visuals are bright and appealing, the music suitably frenetic and some cheesy voice acting is a nice addition.
Since the last update controller support has greatly improved, and having 3 or 4 players madly scrambling around trying to keep the sheep safe is a blast. I thoroughly recommend Disobedient Sheep to anyone who has a few people in the house who want to play a game together, especially if some of them are young children.

Disobedient Sheep is a couch-multiplayer party game with a heavy survival emphasis.
That it, the survival of some super-cute balls of wool that cannot, without your help, avoid the many genuine and lifelike hazards that come with being a sheep in today’s modern times. Ominously slow rolling boulders, falling anvils and anchors, bombs and of course the shepherd staple dynamite all await your precarious flock.
You play as a sheepdog, of which there are several cuddly variants, darting around the map for a time period dying to bark and generally hustle your sheep out of the way of these deadly obstacles. Your sheep act realistically, and group together in small flocks, but occasionally freak out at their impending existential nightmare and scurry off, making this challenge much harder than it sounds. As time goes on more and more dangers are thrown your way, making the final few seconds quite chaotic.
