Little Witch Nobeta
It’s pretty fun overall.
After 38-ish hours of messing about in Little Witch Nobeta, i can safely say this has a ton of promise. The whole idea of this game is interesting and fun.
I have only a few gripes with this game, and to shorten the wall of text that’ll half be about one boss, here’s a Pros/Subjective/Cons points.
I’ll try to keep this as spoiler free as possible, but i will spoil half of the third boss.
Pros -
Quite polished.
Looks great.
Cute.
SFX is quite good.
Combat is fluid.

You play as a cute loli and it’s a souls-like. What else could you ask for?
But, seriously. Incredible game.
Graphics
As soon as I started playing the game, I was surprised. The design was better than I imagined. Nobeta is a lovely little thing with detailed hair, clothes, shoes, and features. Her hair and clothes also seemed to respond correctly with different actions (jumping, running, damage, etc.). The animation seemed great. Not only that, but the surrounding world was also quite nice. Heading into the castle, the lighting seemed appropriate for the mood, and the stone on the walls and floor seemed detailed enough. Nobeta’s different magics and items she uses throughout the game are all very unique and have colorful, extravagant animations. All in all, the animation is on par or nicer than many 60 dollar games.

Pain Party
Story
After an unfortunate mini golf accident (which led to your immediate demise) you wake up in purgatory.
This is not the classical purgatory that we’ve all read about, but instead is a Japanese game show where the winners get to ascend and the losers get to spend an eternity moderating online forums without any kind of monetary compensation.
About the game
Pain Party combines that madness of a party game with the mechanics of a souls like and precision jumping.
You can either play PvP with up to 16 players or play offline in the single player mode, where you have to beat levels to unlock further progression.

Gameplay
Stamina management and Item usage
The first thing you need to learn is that everything in pain party costs stamina, from jumping, punching, dodging, to even using items.
If you run out of stamina you won’t be able to do any of that above and you’ll also walk slower so keep a close eye on that stamina meter.
There a lot of ways to get the upper hand in Pain Party, spawn-able items are one such thing.
You might find anything from blunderbusses to time stopping hour glasses.
Precision jumping
Jumping in Pain Party isn’t like in other games. Holding the jump button will make you do high but short jumps, while tapping the jump button will make you do long horizontal jumps.
Progress and unlock
Winning multiplayer matches and progressing in story mode will help you unlock skins for your character.

Barbarian Souls
This game is an absolute masterpiece. I wish the dev would have charged more than $14.99! I would have happily paid up to $70 for this game. Barbarian Soul’s beutiful scenery will go down in history. The graphics in this game could go head to head with mainstream games like The Last of Us and Cyberpunk 2077 and I 100% believe it could win. I was absolutely DUMBFOUNDED when this game wasn’t nominated for GOTY 2019. The gameplay mechanics are on par with souls like games such as Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, Dark Souls 3, Dark Souls Remastered, Dark Souls 2 Remastered, and Crash Bandicoot. The ambient sounds like the rain and thunder are so beautiful that I could listen to them to fall asleep. I wish steam would allow me to buy multiple copies of this game so i could have a steam library FULL with Barbarian Souls. I love this game so much and would recommend it to anyone and I mean ANYONE that loves story driven and absolutely beautiful games!

Ok, so the only positive thing I can say about this game is that the visuals are pretty decent.
For the rest I did not play much, I found the combat and AI to be extremely unpolished. Also the game could do with more weapons.
At this time I cannot recommend this game, gonna need alot of work.

Hobo Cat Adventures
A fun and silly 3D platformer with a character and story aesthetic like a love letter to Conker’s Bad Fur Day. Full of silliness, over the top humor, potty mouths, flying body parts, and is a blast! Ride a chicken to get around. Zoom around on an over-caffeinated spree. Roll around with crazy physics as a Snowball. Blast a regiment of rat warriors to smithereens with bombs. Hack em to bits with a chainsaw and collect their heads as trophies. Twang your banjo. Help a very drunk duck deny the reality of his living conditions. Drink Hobo Brew until you’re pissing on plants to rejuvinate the local flora and fauna. Full of little nods and references to it’s inspirations. An overall a silly good time!

So, first of all, I have to say this game was my first Steam purchase and I don’t regret it.
The funny characters, the varied places as well as the many possibilities that the items offer always put a smile on my face.
Some of the collectibles are well hidden but not unfair. The quests that you get in the game are all very varied and do not repeat themselves.
As a German, I don’t understand the Eastereggs that are based on the Swiss streaming scene, but so it piqued my interest to take a look. It was really interesting to deal with it a little more, because I never noticed anything about it. Which of course is not surprising.

Dark Sales
Quite difficult but quite funny 2d RPG set in an office filled with monsters and other employees who try to kill you - and if you die, you’ll lose your job - and then how will you pay your rent?
– Real player with 7.7 hrs in game
Taking heavy inspiration from it’s tongue in cheek name, Dark Sales is a 2D Souls-like game with charmingly simple visuals and strikingly challenging gameplay. Taking place in an office setting with most enemies being other employees the game is satisfyingly solid. We spent a few hours with the game and here are our spoiler-free first impressions.
How does it look?:
The game is highly stylized with simplistic but very effective visuals. We initially had some difficulty discerning what we could and couldn’t interact with in the relatively open world but the game’s consistency and informative tutorial set us up for success in the long run. Whether you’re resting at water coolers, fighting pencil pushers, or exploring a sewer you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the look of Dark Sales.

Frauki’s Adventure!
Have you been craving a 2D Soulslike?
If you want to see gameplay and watch my first impressions as they happened, click my video. You are Frauki, tasked with defeating alien robots and finding prism crystals. Why don’t all of the alien robots fight you? Who are all of these garden gnomes? How did you obtain your awesome electrical sword? Ponder these questions and more as you die. A lot.
Frauki’s Adventure is a straightforward melee action game with platforming elements, but it’s the Soulslike nature that sets it apart. Your attacks are slow, and you need to be deliberate despite the rapid pace of combat. Normal enemies are simple enough to deal with, but the frequent boss encounters will end you. Fortunately the game’s map is designed to get you back to where you were soon enough, so progress is frequent and rarely lost.

Surprisingly good! A compact but charming world, not many enemy types but that’s good to practice patterns, not many abilities but well-tuned timings to make every fight challenging. The pixel art felt a bit raw at first, but it blends well with the soundtrack and overall tone of the game. The animations are smooth, the hit-boxes are ok, I faced only few frustrating situations (1. the tanks, with their fast punch animation and recovery times, and 2. ghosting through doors and locking myself outside). I see potential for challenge runs.

Eruption爆发
Eruption is a souls-like game on LSD. It’s strange, weird, and gives me Superhot vibes with the meta humor. It’s definitely early access, and feels like very early access, but for what is a $5 game ($4 on sale when I bought it) I honestly kind of like it. Combat is what you’d expect from a souls-like game, and feels fairly weighty, but the hit boxes are a bit jank and it feels like if you swing even a nanosecond sooner than the opponent they still hit you before you hit them. Kind of wack.
Does anyone remember the old PS1 game Jackie Chan Stuntmaster where you’d pick up weapons around the environment? I know I’m dating myself here and there are probably better more timely references, but it feels a little like that. You have your standard swords but you also have things like a mop, keyboard…and a coffee mug. It’s weird.

Plushie from the Sky
Play as a little angel who fell down from the sky and is finding her way home.
Embark on a dreamy action adventure as you soar across the sky and explore the mystery of a fantasy world.
Fight your way through wacky and corrupted monsters with your close and far range combat abilities. The bosses will be challenging despite the charming part of the game. Players might fail during the initial attempts, learn their attack patterns, and find ways to overcome them.
This game also focuses a lot on well-timed dodge, block and parry abilities. There will be many scenarios that one will suit better than the others.
