Picked this up specifically for the experimental coop to have a split screen romp. The game definitely fulfilled that purpose. Sahad is the greatest character in any media. When he farted I felt that.

Game got shelved due to getting a bit too repetitive and a lot of enforced single player segments.

A superb Paper Mario-like, but also much more beyond that. Tons of amazing quality of life and gameplay systems like the togglable hard-mode and medal system. Incredibly lovable main cast, and much more variation in combat than its inspiration ever offered.

Obristan above all

How is the gameplay so unreasonably fun?

allows you to both whip and nae nae

Cute co-op romp. The ability to fuck each other over is a very necessary and appreciated aspect in these kinds of games.

Pros: Rikiya exists. Kiryu is a dad (unironically loved most of the dadding.) Okinawa to explore!

The cons: Compared to Y0 and the Kiwamis the combat lacked punch. Coupled with a non-engaging main story up until the last 30 minutes and nothing to write home about in the substory department either this is a mellow entry in the series.

Superbly peak gaming. Some of the best writing I've ever seen in a game or book or any form of work.

The skill system is so much fun too, and tailors your run based on your build choices. I already want to start a 2nd playthrough just to experience things from a new angle.

Roguelikes my beloved
Really good when your synergies pop off
I quickly grew bored with it compared to other roguelikes though, runs take considerably longer than similar games (dead cells, isaac, hades) and often end in a slow fizzling out that felt like I wasted an hour. That being said I really appreciate that the different characters really give vastly different playstyles

Good cases, good music, yummy sprites/animations
Another strong game in the franchise, last case is wild!

ROCK AND STONE
this game is the perfect excuse when you wanna hang out with the boys on discord while just fucking around

one of the best games I have ever played, 4/10

the plot was a bit too complex for me

A very pretty puzzle game with unique and satisfying mechanics. Short but sweet

So epic how can a game make me like every character so much especially all the side characters. The epitomy of whacky humor

Elsinore is a great game full of four dimensional exploration. Basically the whole game is played through observing the people around you, talking to them, and witnessing the outcomes of your social nudges. And yet shit really hits the fan in big ways. Trying to high% the game got a bit tedious and repetitive even with the timeskip mechanic in place. Disregarding that, if you just play until you feel done with it I can't not recommend this, especially if you love a good mystery!

(Only demo released yet, will update when full release happens)

The graphics of this twin stick melee space battle game are just lovely. Pixel sprites finished off with satisfying effects, as well as the charming dialogue sprites. The gameplay so far is, as realistic as it may be, a little clunky with the heavy inertia, but I suspect with mastery one can overcome that hurdle and get some satisfying moments out of it. Looking forwards to trying the full thing!
