Moadra
An interstellar alien race, the Neera, has deployed an expedition to the long-lost planet Protea VI, hoping to discover their lost heritage. Eventually, the sand-swept planet turns out to be far more surprising than meets the eye, and suddenly the expedition goes quiet.
Your mission is to play as alien soldier Moadra and investigate the incidents on the planet. Upon discovering the expedition’s fate, Moadra becomes separated from the rest of the squad and is forced to delve deeper into the perilous depths of Protea VI.
From barren wastes and freezing ridges to lush caverns and decayed ruins, Moadra must traverse a sprawling world, face the unknown and unveil the secrets of their ancestors through non-linear exploration, offering a truly immersive and challenging gaming experience.
Traverse a massive interconnected world non-linearly and unveil the grim mysteries of Protea VI at your own pace. Endure the challenging combat and evolve Moadra’s abilities, solve light puzzles, and reveal countless hidden paths and secrets throughout your mission.
Strive through the desolate surface of Protea VI and ascend the deadly, freezing summits. Examine the infested research facility, kindle the crashed spacecraft, and explore the remains of an alien civilization that once inhabited Protea VI.
Experience Moadra’s agility by jumping over chasms and pools of acid. Roll and dodge enemies and crawl through narrow tunnels. Dive into deep lakes and reach immense heights using wall-jumps. Eventually, run with blazing speed and fly to unknown altitudes.
Confront the enormous variety of hostile creatures and malicious species inhabiting Protea VI. Fight against them with an arsenal of weapons and special abilities, and survive their onslaught by swift reflexes and cunning tactics.
Be prepared to encounter the ultimate challenge of Protea VI. Fight against gargantuan monsters in cruel and multi-phased battles that will push the limits of your skills like nothing else in the game.
Blow up unfriendly creatures and organisms to absorb their Protoplasm, lumps of energy-packed biomass. Consume it inside organic chambers to apply metamorphosis, and evolve your abilities and weapons to new levels.
Activate your scanner bot and use the X-Ray vision to examine the creatures and surroundings more closely. Reveal hidden paths and secret areas invisible to the naked eye, and map out the places you explored.
Untangle the tragedy of the Neera expedition, save yourself and the lone survivors. Uncover the lost secrets of your ancestors who once inhabited Protea VI, and conclude the events leading to their extinction 20 000 years ago.

Cosmic: A Journey Among Shadows
🌑 A mysterious universe inhabited by weird characters whose shadows have their own distinct personalities, where light and shadow dictate its metaphysical rules
🌘 Fast-paced 2D gameplay with two distinguished styles: use the light to unleash the beastly shadow attached to Cosmic and perform deadly melee combos or use agility and subterfuge to escape danger while in the dark
🌗 Multiple exotic worlds to explore with expansive maps filled with puzzles, secrets, and challenges. Find new items, unlock new abilities and use them to travel back and forth through space and time to explore what you previously couldn’t access
🌔 Flawlessly fluid animations that enhance the gameplay experience, and a distinguishable art style that plays with contrasts
🌕 Developed by a team of industry veterans who worked on Cyberpunk 2077, Serial Cleaner and Vampire: The Masquerade – Coteries of New York, and more!
In Cosmic: A Journey Among Shadows, the player controls Cosmic, a seemingly cute yet mischievous being whose sole and best friend is his own shadow. One day, due to a thoughtless wish, Cosmic loses his shadow and finds himself powerless at the bottom of an unknown world. However, Cosmic soon discovers that he has acquired a new, bigger shadow – that of a powerful beast whose owner is already on the hunt for him. Will Cosmic and his new shadow manage to cooperate and survive in this dangerous journey across time and space?
Monobot
A solid puzzleplatformer, even if it weers more towards precision platforming by the end. Which can feel unfair at times, as the controls can feel sluggish and not too responsive where precision is needed.
Nonetheless I had my fun with the game, it lasted me just over 13 hours.
I rate it as a solid 7/10.

Monobot is a charming physics side-scroller platformer developed by the small indie dev team of DreamSmith Studio, which tells the story of a little robot and its journey towards self-awareness.
You play as Mono - a “Modularized Orientative Non-weaponized Operator” robot that wakes up in the 24th century in a warehouse ruled by other machines. Initially, Mono can only pull or push cubes, climb ropes, open trapdoors and activate elevators. As the game progresses, each of his arms will be replaced by functional modules that will allow Mono to gain two new abilities. The first one is a mechanic similar to a grappling-hook, where Mono can attach himself for a few seconds to certain areas and is pulled towards them like a magnet, while the other one is a small-range teleport ability which allows him to switch places with a targeted cube. All of these mechanics will be heavily used throughout the whole game in solving puzzles of various difficulties or dodge the only type of enemy - a sentry robot - which requires you to move stealthily around it. Most of the puzzles are not extremely difficult to figure out, but since Monobot is a physics platformer, they often require a lot of precision, timing and control over your movements. Many of these puzzles also have a certain amount of iterations / steps, and failing one of them will have you start it from scratch again. The game has a very good autosave system, and these checkpoints are encountered often enough, but you will usually still need to replay the whole puzzle if you happen to fail a jump - which will occur quite often during your first playthrough. Monobot is a game in which you don’t really know what to expect next and in which you learn by failing and retrying.

Undead Pixel Monks Adventure
Fight dangerous and terrifying enemies, explore a dreamlike world, interact with its strange inhabitants, and uncover the truth. Undead Pixel Monks Adventure is a 2D action-adventure game set in a fantasy world inspired by Japanese mythology and philosophy.
Welcome to Mushin Monastery. Deeply respectable monks once lived here. I expected they would enter Nirvana after their physical deaths, but it does not look like they found peace.
Their bodies still roam this place today. What’s worse, something is stirring in the caves under the mountain. I fear that even the ancient mummified monks have started moving.
These creatures are mostly driven by instinct. But in the case of these monks, they had so much self-discipline in life that their old daily habits are still ingrained now. I believe that’s why they still light the lanterns at night and sit in the meditation posture.
Don’t underestimate them. They’re skilled fighters.
Blade Warrior
Blade Warrior’s store page heralds this game as a MS-DOS “classic”, a label that it does not truly deserve. Instead of being a well-remembered title, the game was actually very obscure on the PC. It is a port of a better known Amiga title that did get quite some recognition and a score of positive reviews. So, how come the PC-version isn’t as well remembered? And how does the game hold up in this day and age? Lets find out!
I actually bought this game back in the day, so I’ve added some personal memories to this review. If you don’t want to read all that, I’ve added a TLDR-section at the end. I’ve also put up a guide based on my notes.

Dark Space
Dark space is worth the money.

Definetly would recommend!

Starts off pretty interesting, then you get annoyed, half the time you’re fighting with the controls and bad camera angles.
Even the menu is a bit hit n miss if the controller navigates the menu correctly or if you even have the ability to navigate the menu’s with the controller, I had to resort to using the keyboard most of the time I wanted to access menu, like when trying to exit.
enjoy 5 minutes of watching someone else give up at the same point I have got to.
