Rabi-Ribi
Revised on Feb 10, 2019.
Pros
Do you like rabbits? Fairies? Characters with animal ears? Cutesy art style? Lighthearted and a little bit silly story on the outside with darker themes on the inside? A variety of different personalities?
If that didn’t spark your interest then perhaps you are more interested in things like a great soundtrack, platforming and map exploration or bullet hell style boss battles? Those things I just listed are only a few reasons why I like this game.

An essential addition for anyone who enjoys 2D action games and gets a thrill from persevering against insanely difficult bosses for hours on end, Rabi-Ribi is at its best when it’s testing you to dodge a swarm of bullets (with gravity, no less) in its over 30 boss fights, but is also an enjoyable platforming and exploration game that offers tons of replayablity due to its extremely non-linear design.
First thing’s first: This game is fanservice-y, but that’s not the focus of the game. It’s aware enough of this to lampshade Ribbon’s skimpy outfit at times. Don’t be turned off by the Steam store page description about a bunny-girl costume, because I would not have sunk 200 hours into this game if I just wanted to look at ecchi. You’ll see some humorous dialogue teasing at yuri themes as well, but overall, the story of the game is an actual story about Erina, Rabi-Rabi Island, and some of its inhabitants, though it doesn’t truly begin to unfold until halfway through the game. The initial premise is that Erina, formerly a pet rabbit of Rumi but turned human by unknown means, is tasked with trying to track down Rumi’s sister Miru, who has been magicked away by a stone tablet, and Erina needs the help of other magic-users on the island to power this tablet and follow Miru. But there’s a much more interesting story that you’ll uncover about the island’s origins and a figure from its past as you progress–though it remains bunny-themed to the end.

Lost Ruins
A beautifully crafted game that will probably not take you long time to complete, but hey - there are bonus modes and difficulties to try. If you like what you see from the screenshots and videos, you should definitely give Lost Ruins a try.

This game is more about planning and preparation, rather than physical reflexes.
jump and roll are not your only options, sometimes using shield is much safer.
There is underwater damage that your own magic kills you.
It’s quite unique mechanic involving elemental damage. It makes you think twice in the water.
Visuals are so good. characters move so smooth and pleasant to watch.
And I love the character illustraions. it’s top-notch.

Maytroid. I swear it’s a nice game too
This is a really weird game, to the point where I don’t really know how to begin this.
The first thing that comes to mind when trying to describe this game is “obtuse”. When I first statrted playing, I was completely confused as onto what the game was expecting of me. Sure, getting from point A to B is a simple enough objective, but, where am I going to, exactly? What am I aiming for, here? How do I know that I’m going in the right direction? But most importantly: what do all these things around me do and why are they there?

An action platformer with some spicy images that delivers on its promise. For this small price, it is a good catch.
Default keyboard controls are far from the standard, but you can easily rebind those. I couldn’t select options in menus using rebound keys and I had to advance dialogue using the “Walk Right” button, but that’s it.
The character animation is fluid and the art is beautiful, especially the main character and the bosses. The spicy artwork is good and an uncensor patch is available, but it is far from the main draw of the game. You can easily unlock all weapons, upgrades and images in a single playthrough.

Null & Peta -Invasion of the Queen Bug-
PROS
-
has Steam Achievement
-
great Soundtracks
-
nice Characters design
-
voice acting with full of cheer and spirit
-
the gameplay quite simple
CONS
-
No Steam Cloud, your saved progress will never store to Cloud. (I REALLY HATE THIS SENSATION)
-
there was some lacking in few keys.
ADDITIONAL NOTE
game with a decent crazy comedy Anime story and surprisingly good animation, art, and voic eacting. for storyline really different from Anime version which Peta, Null’s older Sister got an accident where she jarred in the crash with Truck. Null decide to revive her older Sister and final result is not as expected to her mind. you can see the Anime version with buying the DLC here

The story of the game is the continuation of the anime. Since the key items in the game are from the anime, and the game pretty much assumes that you already know Null and Peta, it is highly recommended that you watch the anime before playing the game.
Just like the anime, the game is mostly lighthearted in tone with some absurd and unexpectedly heartwarming or tear-jerking moments. I think that the story could have been made better by explaining
! who Kaki (the beach girl in the episode 6) was or what had happened to Null and Peta’s parents who are mysteriously absent both in the game and the anime, which would certainly have enhanced the emotional side of the story, though I am content to see the origin of the bugs explained and learn more about Null and Peta sisters.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is a heart-warming tale about how even a woman who spent ten years in a coma can get up and be in better shape than you are.
You play as Miriam, a walking fashion disaster. A bunch of alchemists performed evil mad science on her, giving her a host of strange and unnatural powers. Chief among these is the ability to grow stronger and healthier simply through the power of diet and exercise. She can also bind demon souls to her body to gain magic powers, but this is par for the course in games like these. Together with her personal trainer Johannes, they seek to convince an old friend to go back to the good old days of loving his body, again, and save him from his toxic, unrealistic body standard girlfriend.

I’ve played almost 50 hrs and got all the achievements, so lemme tell ya
This game is one of best metroidvenia i’ve played.. however, story-wise it’s normal.
The controls and movements ain’t as smooth as other 2D games, but ti works fine
There are a variety of weapons, armors, skills and shards to use and upgrade.
The game is full of castlevenia references but the story-line has nothing to do with it,
I got the game on a discount, so i will suggest you wait for a discount before paying full price

Blaster Master Zero 3
Being the final installment to my favorite series, I had some pretty high hopes for this game. The pre-release demo showed a lot of promise, and after a little more than a week, I’ve finished the game. It most certainly lives up to my expectations, and both the overworld and dungeon gameplay portions are once again, in my opinion, significantly enhanced from the last installments. The best changes include but are not limited to,
Overworld:
-Teleporting between save points and areas.
-A rebalanced weapon and SP system.

I was cautiously optimistic heading into this game after really liking the first game and being frustrated with many parts of the second game. I didn’t really know whether I was going to love or hate the game, and with Inticreates it could be either because their track record veers wildly in both directions. In the end, I ended up somewhere in the middle in that I was both pleasantly surprised and disappointed.
Starting off, I have to say that all of my gameplay complaints with the first two games were addressed in full, and I’m happy to report the game was a much more enjoyable experience overall.
