Exanima
Exanima has, over the years, become one of my favorite games on Steam. I have come back to it over and over to get another hit of physics based medieval combat. The very small development team has continued to add content, improve physics, and craft their very unique vision over the years with consistency and quality. I think it’s important to mention that Exanima was intended initially as a testing ground and means of funding for another game that they plan on making. Since then the developers have focused on making Exanima its own game with the added benefit of everything they add here being applicable to the creation of their other game.

It’s funny to see people complain about the game being dead when the devs make weekly progress reports and the beta is updated regularly. And you can even talk with the lead dev in the discord! Most EA games aren’t this transparent. I’ve been following this game for years, and it’s come a long way. There’s a small but dedicated team behind it. When an update comes out of beta, it’s bug free. And for just $15, you get a game unlike any other. IDK, game good. :)

This is a good little collection of pinball games made by Pinblend Studios. Right now there are three pinball tables that they made and are all included in this game. I actually won this game in a tournament they had so I got this game for free! Two thumbs up.

I really wish that Steam would have a neutral rating possibility, because after finishing it in coop and single player and getting all the achievements, I’m pretty torn about it. Would I recommend it? To myself in hindsight, no, to other players with different expectations, maybe, but under heavy caveats. But let me elaborate.
Morkredd is a meanwhile pretty standard Unity coop physics-puzzler with light&shadow-mechanics. You can pretty much get a good impression of the gameplay in the trailers, stay in the light and avoid the shadows of the environment as well as of your coop partner while moving a large ball of light through the levels. Visuals are at most times pretty bleak but serve their purpose, with a handful of some short more interesting sequences strewn in (about once per level). Sounds are few. Most of the game isn’t really hard in coop, puzzles are obvious, skill- or time-based sequences aren’t too demanding. You’ll probably die a lot anyway (some sequences, especially at the end can get annoying), but there are a lot of checkpoints. Single player is also doable, but only if you’re used to controlling the left and right analog stick simultaneously (one stick controls one character) which can get confusing in-between (there’s a button to switch characters’ sides on the fly, but it doesn’t really help when characters have to pass above and below each other). Like all reviews say, the game definitely is very short, should take 2-3 hours at a maximum (depends on how often you die).

RISING BONEvR
The game focuses on physical interaction with the world, and how dynamic everything in it. Most of the tasks can be solved in different ways. E.g: to pass the closed door, you can find a key, or destroy the padlock, or break the window nearby, or find the underpass
Each circle of hell is a level where you need to climb as high as possible at any cost. Haron will take you to next level. If desired, you can find funny or creepy secrets, part of story, or collectible items

Knight Crawlers
You are a Crawler, struggling to survive the battles that unfold behind every dark portal. Your skill cards and weapons are your only bastions against the forces of the horde. In this physics based ARPG, each crawl is unique through the choices you make. Hunt for loot, craft powerful equipment, and head into arenas to battle against other crawlers.
Key Features
Physics Based Combat
Fight your way through hordes of enemies with melee weapons ranging from large mighty hammers to long-handled flails. If close combat isn’t your style, wands, staves, and bows give you a leg up in long-ranged combat.
Brawl it or Crawl it
Crawling through realms doesn’t have to be a lonely affair. Enter PvP arenas to test your skills against other crawlers or team up to fight the horde together.
The Choices are Yours to Make
Whether you are choosing your dominion points, skill cards, or weapons, every choice makes every crawl unique.
Crafting Brings Great Power
Crafting equipment and weapons will be the difference between making it out alive or being overrun by hordes of enemies.
Dominions
Dominions are the talents you learn after every crawl. Choose between several dominion classes to specialize your skills and add to your arsenal of astral defenses.
DOOMBLADE
Lured out of her solitude, she discovers a chamber containing a sentient blade, trapped and bound for eons. Freeing DOOMBLADE, “Doom and Gloom” join forces and begin a quest to regain the blade’s powers and enact vengeance on its captors.
Wielding DOOMBLADE, Gloom Girl can ride through the air to attack enemies. Target monsters to attack them directly, and slay them with DOOMBLADE’s wrath!
The blade is hungry to wreak its revenge on The Dread Lords, who bound and trapped it in the Underworld. But first it must regain its lost strength. Search for statues of the old gods, where DOOMBLADE’s powers were hidden and stored by the long-dead Gloomfolk, awaiting its return.
From the abandoned halls of Gloomhaunt, into the New Wilderwood forest full of untrusting tribesmen, through the Molded Mines with their hedonistic shroom people, and into a technological hellscape known as the Power Sector. Wielding DOOMBLADE, Gloom Girl must destroy the monsters within and hunt down the Dread Lords who imprisoned DOOMBLADE.

Soul Scathe
Just spent a good hour on this last night fighting through the dungeons and i am really enjoying it so far. So there are some bugs as its in early access but the developer is extremely reactive to feedback and constantly updating. The combat feels very satisfying - its how you combine magic with melee and the environment! Overall i am looking forward to spending more time here! Playing this game on the Oculus Quest ( via Link)…the dark depths look great on the LED screens!
(update) So i have now spent 6 hours on this game and really enjoying the combat - love the lightening and electrical bolt ( electric slingshot), now have the axe and can decapitate my enemies…great fun!

For a single dev game, Soul Scathe is quite impressive. I started playing this game close to when it first came out and the combat system and over all polish of the game has improved substantially. The game also provides a satisfying upgrade system. You collect gold and continue to level up as you make your way through the dungeons. You can allocate points toward different attributes choosing where to put your strengths. You can buy new weapons, spells, or potions with the gold you collect. As for the negative reviews mentioning the game being dead, the 2nd chapter was just released with new levels, enemies, and a new boss (I assume). The developer is also really responsive and addresses bugs, questions, etc.

BLACKBODY THEORY OF MOTION
This game is still in early stages, but it is addictive and genuinely scary.
There are some much-needed improvements, including
-
Better controls for up/down, a function to reset to the “normal” plane where most asteroids are located,
-
View distance that doesn’t look unnatural (now the objects just spawn out of blackness),
-
Saves,
-
Goals, achievements,
-
Softer sounds, current ones are way too harsh.
