oh shit im sorry
crypt of the necrodancer with a fun reskin but a tad worse gameplay
solid roguelike, soundtrack slaps
it's definitely in the category of roguelikes where you will die over and over as you learn how to play

it's too hard for my tiny brain and shitty hand-eye coordination
Really unique puzzle game. Really nails the ability to take multiple logical approaches to finding necessary leads, which is awesome. Impossible to put down after like 15 minutes of playing until I was completely done...
Only some minor issues with the menu navigation that grated slightly (also the chinese topmen wtf)

Cool little game. Nice graphics and atmosphere but very obtuse gameplay holding it back. Basically just a glorified fetch quest without hints on where to go next.
Also why the hell is there an arbitrary time limit? Literally adds nothing to the game and doesn't make sense??

Refreshing new era of trails. Takes a fair bit of time to get going, but enjoyable nonetheless. Very nice having a dense city we get to explore in-depth in contrast to Sky with a larger but more sparse world.
Shelved because of trails hiatus. Will definitely finish later and continue this series.

Cute cat game. Absolutely stunning visuals and high atmosphere factor.
Sadly the gameplay falls a bit short and feels unrefined/just not that exciting. Shelving for now and maybe revisiting later to finish.

Fun game about catching critters and self-reflecting, 100%-able in 3 hours.
Comfortable to play with some nice poetry to boot.
The little interactable things in the overworld are a nice touch too!

A fun time capsule until it became so obtuse that it was impossible to progress without looking up a guide. Not just because of hard puzzles but because of having to figure out HOW the game wanted you to input something when you already knew what you wanted to do.

Really fun non-linear text based game. The writing is good and the pixel art is delicious.
What got me the most about this game is how it actually captures the feeling of being a fresh adventurer slowly growing comfortable with the lands so well. Starting out, all choices were nail-bitingly tense and everything felt dangerous. Could I afford to sleep here? Do I sell my healing potion to afford food, or is it better to go hungry? But as time progressed and you get more familiar with the land, more allies to work with, and more avenues of resources, you actually feel much more in control. The game goes seemlessly from "trying to survive" to "mastering these lands" .

Roguelite cooking game? Very fun multiplayer romp that I will inevitably compare to Overcooked. The game feels much less polished in comparison, but the freedom of redesigning your restaurant and choosing direction definitely makes up for it. With some touching up this could be a real banger!
