SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated
WOW I was shocked at how fun this was! I never played this as a kid but I was a massive fan of spongebob growing up. So naturally I picked this up for nostalgia reasons. the critics say this is a bad glitchy game but i never experienced one glitch and i had a fantastic time! difficulty is perfectly balanced, story is cute and fun (just what you would expect from spongebob :D) and it was extremely creative! I cant wait for the sequel!

Voodoo Vince: Remastered
Voodoo Vince was one of those obscure Original Xbox games that didn’t get much attention.
While this game itches a satisfy nostalgia itch, there are more reasons this game deserves some praise.
Original xbox emulation isn’t easy, same goes for trying to port these type of games.
The pros and cons will be written with new-players in mind. For nostalgia players, this game is a must-buy. There is nothing I have to say convince you, it’s a proper remaster. But for those who have never even heard of Voodoo Vince before, this is what you want to hear

Voodoo Vince: Remastered is a an amazing next-gen port (sans PS4, unfortunately) of the original X-Box Puzzle Platformer Voodoo Vince!
Ever since I got the original version of the game back in 2010, I found myself always coming back to play through the game at least once a year, and now I can do that in high definition on my PC without having to hook up the old X-Box.
The graphics have been updated phenomenally considering this was an X-Box launch title, as well as clean-cut sound files to make the game look and sound amazing.

Jet Set Radio
Have you ever wanted to be a rollar-blading punk, rollin' around the city tagging walls, and stickin' it to the man?
No? Maaaan fuck you get out of here yes you have. This game is known far across the land for it’s kickin' soundtrack, beats so thick you could bounce a coin off ‘em. Also, it’s so old GBA could run it, so don’t sweat the specs. Only worry is the keyboard controls suck harder than your EX girlfriend, so grab an Xbox 360 controller and get going.
Now the objective of the game is simple, roll around the city, tag some walls, and keep away from the fuzz. However, this is all done to the sweet sonic sound that will be oozing out of the audio device of your choosing. It also helps that this game has graphically dated better than you could ever dream of. (Oh snap son.) You might get one Jet rank on your first playthrough. Might. If you wanna get Jet on every mission you must first study the anicent urban staking gurus.

“Who are you! What’s your name? Super Brothers!”
Jet Set Radio is one of those games you most likely saw a demo of at a Target or Best Buy back in the early 2000s but never really got to play because you were too cool for a Dreamcast. Luckily, this PC port exists. This game is the perfect mix of skating and graffiti with a soundtrack to match and graphics that are considerably better than those of today’s games. The added danger of being tackled by street guards, being shot at by a crazed police captain, having missiles fired from helicopters, and run over by motorcycle riding police makes it more fun

Spyro™ Reignited Trilogy
A fun and sometimes very challenging game.
Gameplay is focused on collecting everything in every level, with some basic environmental puzzles and simple combat to keep things interesting. The remake seems to stay true to its occasionally outdated old-school roots, which means difficulty swings widely between cool and casual to punishingly difficult. If you’re a completionist then get ready to sweat: there are time-based precision challenges. Most are fair and can be beat with a lot of practice, but a few really made me question my life choices.

I’m giving a positive review because the game does not deserve a bad review at all, but a lot of times the game feels clunky. If they bothered to patch the issues it could probably be in a better state.
The artwork / graphics seems to be the highest regard here. It’s amazing.
Music was there but nothing insanely amazing either. It’s alright.
The gameplay is what I have problems with, I like the basic levels best, exploring, collecting, beating enemies it feels nice but the jumping sometimes annoyed me when u try to make a jump and he slides of the edge instead.

Legend of Kay Anniversary
I among many other people who bought this played this as a kid but by no means is this game only fun because of nostalgic value. These sort of kid like platforming games is what pc honestly needs.
-
Great graphical update from the original
-
Combat is great among most hack & slash games, its pretty solid on all levels
-
Platforming is fun and brings you back to when platformers weren’t only 2d indie hardcore platformers
-
The sound is a huge bump up in quality, although I did experience a few very minor odd sound placements but I won’t detract any points from it

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy
I’ve been eagerly awaiting Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy since it was announced for re-release on the PC by THQ Nordic, it looks and feels just like I remember, however, on a 1440p monitor, the GUI elements are extremely small. It’s good that they don’t stretch unnaturally, but the subtitles and button display are quite small and currently have no options to increase them. Developer Swyter has confirmed on the Community Hub that this will be fixed. I’ve only experienced one minor freeze so far, but I think this happened when my Xbox Controller suddenly became disconnected from the computer.

-
Beautiful graphics
-
Very solid story line
-
Simple and easy controls
-
Not too difficult (Gameplay wise)
-
Excellent music
-
Very fun overall
Now for the cons
-
Very short (Completed it in almost less then 12 hours)
-
Very little to no voice acting

Psychonauts 2
I’ll start this off saying I have basically no nostalgia for this series. I got into it literally days before this game released and my god was I missing out. The first game was wonderful and incredibly charming, but this one? Absolutely phenomenal. I don’t play games a lot, as I have trouble focusing on them and get bored easily, but in this game I was completely engrossed the entire way through. The story, the characters, hell, even the environments and overall feel of this game are all top tier. Definitely one of my all time favorites now, and I’m currently slowly working my way to 100%. Double Fine has absolutely outdone themselves with this title.

This game is the sequel I waited over a decade for. The first game was one of my favorite platformers when I found it, and when I had heard there was a sequel coming, I was READY. Now, when I had heard this game was coming, all I wanted was a follow-up to the cliffhanger from 1 (and Rhombus, after that came out). It could’ve played the same, and I would’ve been fine. HOWEVER, not only did the story surpass my expectations of what they could build off of from the world the first game created, the gameplay received so many major improvements. Each power was improved, and could be leveled up after unlocking. New features left and right, each of them incredibly useful and creative. Mental cobwebs were replaced with collectibles that were much more fun. And the devs are always listening to feedback, and that meant so much to see. Given the game’s themes and the target demographic, it deserves that accessibility and attention to details and playerbase. This game blew me away, and while it will never replace the original, it certainly lived up to it.

Disney’s Chicken Little
Unironically the most amazing game i have ever played in my many years of existence. Each level and environment is masterfully crafted as if created by a God. I could easily spend thousands of hours on this game due to its immense replay value. Only hardcore gamers will be able to complete and truly appreciate all of the intricate details that were included in this masterpiece. However i will say that this game has come with its drawbacks, my wife left me the other day because i was too dedicated to chicken little. Although initially i was rather upset, i soon realised that chicken little was all that mattered to me and was therefore more important than her. All in all id say that you must play this game as it is objectively the best creation by man. Just be prepared for the toll that it will take on a mortals life. 10/10

This is the worst game I have ever played in my entire life, I played Memetyper from this godawful platform and this is the actual worst thing I have ever played in my life. The animations are so slow and laggy that it looks like slow motion its so awful. I literally got stuck on the 3rd level of the game because the animation was so slow that I didn’t have time to react to a locker falling to jump over and dodge it. How the actual fuck does a company like disney manage to mess this up so much. I get disney isnt that great as a company but how do you do this. I quit the game when I got to the level where you chase the fish on the star. I got to the river and the leaves wouldn’t come so i could finish the game. I COULDN’T BEAT FUCKING CHICKEN LITTLE ON STEAM. JESUS CHRIST DISNEY HOW DO YOU DO THIS. for the love of god please spend your money on something better, even Memetyper is better than this hellhole.

FOTONICA
FOTONICA is an adrenaline rush, at the very least. A high speed running game with one button as the sum total of a player’s control. Don’t think of that as a limitation. Quite the opposite. Since this is first and foremost a sensory experience type of game, deriving much from little, it would be unfortunate if even the smallest part of a player’s attention were taken from the screen.
The player, as “runner”, travels very minimalistic landscapes. Some are vaguely identifiable, such as rooms in a sort of building. (The more identifiable the terrain, the faster landscapes seem to go by as the eye/brain connection struggles for context.) The runner also jumps, but I hesitate to call this a platformer. It does have platformer characteristics, such as the pink dots one attempts to acquire by contact. And the varying size and levels of platforms. Some game levels, in fact, are almost entirely platforms. These are generally the more difficult; as players struggle to attain the secondary goal, SPEED.

FOTONICA is a first-person platforming/running game developed by Santa Ragione. Become one with the speed of sound while you try to survive each level on every difficulty and try to beat your previous highscore.
