Now, at the time of this review, I have only had the game for 5 days. But throughout those 5 days, my experience with this game has been amazing. You start out with absolutely nothing, just a walk and a jump. As you progress through the game, however, you will gain many more abilities that I will not name because, y’know, spoilers. The movement at the beginning feel clunky and uncomfortable but as you play the game, the movement just feels better and better and it just gets to this point where it is extremely satisfying when you can do something combinal most/all of those techniques. If you do wish to buy this game, DO NOT do what I did and do your first playthrough in masochist mode where instead of 3 hearts and 2 checkpoints, its only 1 heart and 1 checkpoint. If you do decide however that you are a masochist and want to do masochist mode on your first playthrough, well, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. I would rate this game a 9.5/10, why 9.5 and not 10? Probably just because of the movement at the beginning and how disgusting it feels. But all things aside, this is an absolutely amazing game so please buy it and support the developer who has been working really hard on this game.

Dad Quest
Welcome to an experience that will incite laughter, joy, and relatable drama. I played this game twice through in order to create its first “Dadthrough”. I love its humor, I love its gameplay/mechanics, and its story is filled with detailed anecdoates that capture my imagination.
Dad Quest is a triumph that seeks to demonstrate the power of conviction. We might not be impervious, but we can be resilient! Our will can persevere!
I have shared this game with my friends, family, and social mediums. I hope that our entire world experiences this epic quest that involves nightmares, credit, and a thief.

Read More: Best Metroidvania 2D Platformer Games.
Context: Was gifted from a friend to commemorate(?) becoming a real-life dad for the first time a few months back.
Control Method: Xbox 360 controller
‘Thoroughness of playthrough’ - completed 80% of achievements within first playthrough, remaining bonuses completed in 2-3 hours afterwards, though some collectibles left undiscovered,
Plot: The storyline concept was pretty unique and a lovely way to learn about the ‘dad universe’ without over-explaining aspects of the world & lore; Greatly appreciated the variety of dads in the game, and definitely had a few moments that hit close to home!

Deep Night Detective - Chapter One
A very fun and addicting game so far. I can say for certain though, there were a couple of times where I couldn’t progress due to some bugs.
The pros. it’s a great and charming game! The dialogue is amazing and charming, and with very funny observations from the Detective that adds to their personality. The music is great and how it’s used in this game is well done, especially with the interrogation segment with Mrs. Bordeaux. The controls, though a little confusing in the beginning, is comfortable to use when you get used to it and when you do it controls well.

im honestly hyped for chapter 2
The pixel art, the story, the gameplay… it’s all just so god damn good.
I’m a sucker for any sort of 2D platformers, so I’m kinda biased, but this game is amazing. It can be a bit buggy, and I’ll list all the bugs I found later on, but other than those bugs (one which made me have to reset and play the whole chapter from the beginning) every part of this game is perfectly executed.
Anyways, here’s some feedback:
Every character is interesting and so are the relationships between them. I hate reading through stuff and I tend to just mash through all of the dialogue, but I can’t in this game. Reading about how supernatural stuff works in this game is so much fun and so is asking people questions. The whole thing with the case book (I don’t remember what it’s called) makes it really easy to keep track of what’s going on and really keep you interested in the case.

Romancelvania
Romancelvania is a both a loving parody of Metroidvanias and fresh take on dating in games. It’s an RPG that features in-depth weapon and magic based combat, exploration based platforming, and a cast of gorgeous monsters that you won’t be able to resist.
You play as the legendary playboy vampire himself, Drac, as he battles and romances his way across Transylvania. After being reluctantly recruited by the Grim Reaper to star in a “reality dating show,” he’s on a mission to find the world’s most eligible monsters, get them to move into his party mansion, and restore his former glory by killing everything in his path along the way.
Introducing the Thirsty Metroidvania - Romance your way across Transylvania, encounter absurd monsters, craft weapons, learn magic, and more.
Build your castle - Grow the party mansion as you convince more cast members to move in, and decide where monsters live to get stat and skill bonuses.
Enjoy the Showmance - Take the cast members on outlandish dates, massage your sweetheart to unlock more conversation options, and spend time getting to know these supernatural hotties.
Turbo Kid
Turbo Kid is a BMX-powered pixel-art Metroidvania gore-fest based on the film of the same name.
This is the future, the world as we know it is gone. You are The Kid, a lone warrior on a journey to cross the Wasteland in search of hope. What you will find on your way however is a land riddled with scoundrels and creeps which you’ll have to go through - sometimes quite literally - in order to survive.
Turbo Kid’s choc-full-of-mayhem Turbo Glove™ will help make your quest smoother and much, much bloodier! Turbo Blast, Electric Shocks, your trusty machete, and then some; use the array of weapons at your disposal to slash, rip apart, or explode enemies into hysterical and over-the-top splashes of gore!
Run, crawl, jump, hang, and, for the very first time in a Metroidvania (don’t research this), bike your way through the levels! Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the height of human-powered transport technology: the BMX Bike!
Move around the map faster, access new areas, and practice your bike tricks in preparation for the 1998 Wasteland Olympics Freestyle BMX Event. No need to find an unrusted fence to lock your bike in this game! It’ll be there at the touch of a button whenever you need it.
Our story begins immediately after the events of the movie, as the Kid, you must cross the Wasteland after losing a friend in a tragic bloody battle. On your way, you will meet an array of colorful characters, some friends, some foes, and some in-between, who will offer advice, quests, fights, and jokes (lots of jokes).
We’re really proud of the story we’ve created for the game and we think you’ll enjoy it too. That being said, if you’re only in it for the gameplay and the story isn’t for you, you won’t even need to skip the cutscenes, you can basically just ignore and walk past them.
Like the Metroidvanias of old, TURBO KID allows you to explore the different zones and defeat bosses in the order you see fit, favoring exploration and discovery over a linear narrative. Over the course of the game, you will also be asked to make personal and moral choices that will affect the process of the game allowing for multiple playthroughs with different paths and outcomes.

Will Cosmic and his new shadow manage to cooperate and survive in this dangerous journey across time and space?
Journey To The Savage Planet
Journey to the Savage Planet, where do I start?
For me again one of those games where I not only want a thumbs up or down, but also the option of a neutral rating option. Since reviews are actually always a personal opinion and not always have something to do with the quality of the game, this option would be really desirable.
Why would I like to give the game a neutral rating? Well, that’s not that easy to explain somehow. In short: bright and colorful sci-fi adventure with a huge potential for frustration …

Just finished and not into a big review, but: Borderlands-goofy alien planetary exploration probably sums it up in tone and content.
Goofy AI talking to you.
Goofy/Cutesy fauna.
Comedy flora.
Light pewpew as you explore.
Heavier pewpew as you do the occasional boss-type battle.
Some puzzling.
Multiplayer capability. I hope you like meat.
Overall, a fun time for me and the friend I played with.

Reventure
Disclaimer:
At the time of writing this, I have played Reventure for merely 85 minutes and have only unlocked 22 / 100 endings. Nevertheless, I felt the need to write this right now. I truly believe that my opinion of this game won’t change for the worse but I wanted you to know this fact going in.
### **Update #1:**
16 new and hilarious endings later, I still feel the same. Gonna keep you updated!
### **Update #2:**
51 / 100 endings unlocked.
! I've had my shield melted into my face, my eyes torn out of their sockets and wobbling about after removing said shield, my bones removed from my body, becoming known as "disgusting creature" and I have actively killed the princess. No worries, though, the game told me there are more princesses and there were no witnesses around, so… let's just forget that ever happened. Still loving it so far! TTYL!

This game is really fun, but I think it’s definitely for a certain type of person, and it’s one of those games that is definitely more fun to play with someone.
I played this with my boyfriend, streamed over Discord, seeing as we can’t see each other due to lockdown. I don’t think I would have gotten even half as far or played it anywhere near as long if I wasn’t playing it with someone and we both wanted to see how far we could get.
We managed to get to 71 endings before we had to start using the hints you can collect throughout the game as we both completely ran out of ideas by that point. The hints themselves can be a little cryptic so it isn’t even as if they always spell it out for you either.

DLC Quest
English Version:
Given to me by a friend, I wanted to try this game, starting to play it without many claims.
A satirical and polemic indie about the continuously increasing downloadable contents after the sale of any game (contents that, as a matter of fact, should already be included in the game itself).
The game has no real plot, or rather, It’s the same old ‘‘save the princess’’ like Super Mario. It offers simple but diversified scenarios (some of theme are totally absurd). To me it was brilliant in some aspects, in others a bit too extreme but always funny. However, the whole thing is a fun and challenging adventure.

7/10 – Remember to not kill the Sheep
This review is a reupload from Gao Li Occasionally Reviews
In a treacherous game of greed and escapades a princess gets kidnapped under the watchful eye of her lover. Now, in a fatal game of cat and mouse, facing almost insurmountable odds, he must overcome his limitations and embark on a journey to … buy more stuff, because he can’t even jump over obstacles let alone walk left and the shopkeep is the only one selling these abilities to him. DLC Quest (2013) contains two adorkable little satires by Going Loud Studios in which players go through the motions of everything that’s wrong and right about video games of the early 2010s.
