Fun arcade score chasing stealth game where you eat food and steal pizza.

Solid for what it is, a $1 speed running/collectathon linear 3D platformer. It’s a nice proof of concept, I liked Super Kiwi 64 so I’m trying out all their games. Mechanically sound and has potential.
A fun coop shooter with some souls elements. I found the boss fights to be the highlight and the different worlds had nice visual styles, but it does have issues I imagine are ironed out in the sequel.
The Mario vs DK formula in the first game is a lot better but this game is still pretty enjoyable, leading the toy Marios through the levels trying to keep them safe. A solid puzzle game, I just wish they made more in that original MvD/DK GB style.
This is the third game in the series I’ve played now and I’ve come to realize these games really resonate with me, even though all three have been quite different than each other. Seven Sirens is a true Metroidvania, even more than Pirate’s Curse was, and while the settings aren’t particularly unique after a while it’s still a satisfying gameplay loop. I love the different transformation powers and dances you learn, and the combat is just complex enough with items and upgrades that it never got stale for me. The plot is light and fun, I really enjoy the world of Shantae and all the mainstays are here once again. You also get to learn a bit more about the genies and meet more half genies, and of course unravel the mystery of the sirens.

The most chaotic co-op platformer I’ve ever played, it made for hundreds of hilarious team killing moments as we played through all the stages. Wonderful stage design built around the co-op which is a rare thing in platformers, the cutscenes weren’t quite my thing though.

You play as kiwi's running a post office, what more could you want?
A fun, chaotic co-op game similar in spirt to Overcooked. It consists of 4 major types of minigames but each time you play them the stages are drastically changed so they always stay fresh.

Part stealth sniping game, part mindless killing rampage 3rd person shooter. Good time in coop and the sniping mechanics are fun, some cool levels mixed in with some dull ones. The axis invasion is a fun touch though, having a random person join trying to assassinate you provided the most fun moments.

Fun stealth puzzle game where you take out guards and rewire different electrical devices to navigate the levels. Has a fun little story too.

A fun star with stretchy arms, looks amazing still to this day.
If you are a fan of 2D Sonic games this is right up your alley. It captures the speed of those classic Sonic games while adding in a weapon/transformation system like Kirby that makes the light combat and boss fights more fun. There is also a lot of entertaining setting, enemy, and obstacle variety throughout the 15 stages.
Great DLC, Ada is a badass
Super fun 2D coop tactical shooter, simple in premise but complex in action when you are trying to get 3 stars on all the levels. Memorizing each level to save each hostage without dying requires lot of careful planning which is always fun in the coop setting.

Pros: Pac-Man controls really well and has a fun move set, the roll and bounce moves are very satisfying to use. There are also some really cool levels like sliding down a mountain or rollerblading on a haunted collapsing dock. The hidden pac-man arcade style levels are a nice touch.
Cons: Levels feel a bit barren and have some weird design choices. Why do you fight the same boss 3 out of the 6 times? Why do so many of the levels involve just doing the same section of the level multiple times forward, backwards, then forward again? Why did they make 4 straight levels of on rail underwater levels?
I think there is enough good here that I would play Pac Man World 2 Repac if that ever comes out cause I could see myself liking this a lot more with more modern polish and some changes.

I didn’t play a ton of the first game but I can tell this is a big step up. The presentation is a whole lot better with the addition of the voices, and I really enjoy the roster (though of course we can all name tons more characters we would want added). I’m not a fighting game expert by any stretch, but the character platform fighter is a genre I enjoy dabbling with quite a bit in at least a surface level way, and there is a lot to enjoy for people like me. There is the usual ladder campaign for each fighter, as well as a campaign mode which is where I spent most of my time. This is a rogue like mode but very light on those elements, it has upgrades in the runs as well as some that transfer between. It is a little repetitive, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th runs out of the 5 required are exactly the same which is lame, but it does feel satisfying to play after you get a few permanent upgrades. I haven’t played online much (I know I would get destroyed) but I found this to be a solid game I would gladly put on when I have friends over just to mess around in.
