This is a game you pay to stare at the screen for several minutes at a time and occasionally click on stuff.

I absolutely love it!

A very niche and hard minesweeper evolution. There's no guessing, only "if this, then that" loops of blissful pain. This is wrapped in a very nice and chill presentation with a token price. Really delightful.

If you have gone through the Hexcells rabbit role, this will be an awesome game. Overall Tametsi is still harder, but this one is also very rewarding. One of the nice things about it is that the 165 levels are great. Every single one. There's no filler, no introductory dumb levels. It's a small tutorial and then 165 levels of interesting logic to figure out.

This became one of my favorites in this very niche genre. I really hope the release more with more rules and QoL improvements.

A true paradigm shifting game!

I now hate my friends, hate myself and I specially hate Newton.

This is my third Adamvision game and so far the hardest. Very simple and elegant, you score points by bouncing the ball up and down the screen. Your only move is to slow down the ball. But it never stops. And this is what makes it the most intense of these games so far. There's no safety. You're always moving.

Very fun and challenging and I really liked the song. At least the beginning...

This was a very fun experience. Although the game has the puzzle tag, I'd say it's a 50/50 narrative/puzzle game. It's a short but very nice ride and the main reality looping puzzle mechanic is not only interesting but something that utilizes VR strengths. Considering the length and general lack of replayability, I recommend getting it on a sale, though.

For benchmarking and reference, I played this on a Meta Quest 3 wireless through Virtual Desktop and had no issues.

What a delight!

Pure exploration and platforming fun! I really love the concept of being tiny in a huge world so this one caught my eye from the get go and more than delivered.

The game is a a 3D collectathon platformer with a dose of Pikmin. This is a very dry way to describe it, I would say it's Pikmin but you are very mobile and fast in a extremely well designed world (maps like fromsoftware, everything is beautifully connected). To complete the package, the art, OST, sound effects and writing (if you want) is all great!

Each room in the house is it's own little town with it's theme, culture and characters. Also, by the end, the story revels to be more than what it appears...

On a side note, the guys from this studio are former Ubisoft Montpellier devs. When I see such a indie gem like this coming from former huge studio devs I can't help but wonder how many cool ideas are trapped behind corporate bottom line focus... or maybe I'm just salty because Ubi doesn't make a new 3D Rayman...

This was my first Adamvision game and in 10 minutes it convinced me to buy all the other ones.

Such an elegant and fun game. The concept is very simple but it's paired with captivating music, art and design.

It's great for short bursts of gameplay and has that "one more run" vibe.

Truly incredible. A short and great experience anyone can enjoy. One of the GOAT indie games.

The dopamine hits are just non stop in this one.

The game describes itself well and you get exactly what it tells you. The exploration and resource management of something like forager. The (simplified) automation of satisfactory. And the progression and loop of an idle game.

All this in a nice and cozy presentation makes for an incredibly enjoyable ride. This is one of those you sit to play for 20 minutes and soon realize it's been 5 hours already.

The only negative that some people might find is that the game does not heavy any antagonists. There's no enemies or a way to loose, really. Progressing is the focus and it lets you do it at whatever pace you like. This is just what I wanted and I loved it, but your mileage may vary.

Deliciously tightly packaged Yakuza!

I'm gonna be honest and say that at first I didn't expect much from this game. It seemed like recycled content with some Kiryu story that could have been part of the other games. But as more info got out and I learned more my interest got picked. Now I regard this among my favorites.

I think right now my ranking goes something like this: Y0, Y7, YK2, Gaiden, YK1, Y5, Y6, Y3, Y4.

In the end I feel that although shorter, this is a complete Yakuza package. Everything we've come to love and expect is here. Twisting heavy drama story, whacky side quests, great minigames, memorable characters, awkward content to explain to your loved ones, Japanese weirdness and so on. The difference is that the game does all this without any bloat.

I really liked how they portrayed Kiryu in this one and made him a bit more human. I also really enjoyed some of the new characters and how they got developed throughout the game. And I loved Akame! More Akame in the next games or we riot!

I think RGG packaged the story they had with just the right amount of side stuff and fluff to leave you wanting just a bit more in the end. Which sucks! I was intending to wait a little to get Infinite Wealth cheaper but who am I kidding?

I've been playing a lot of splitscreen/offline party games recently and this one is a favorite of everyone. Funny, cute, fast, easy to grasp, memorable... perfect party game.

One of the reasons it works so well is that it is so approachable. Even "non-gamers" enjoy it a lot.

I would like to see a sequel that plays up to 8 players and have more game modes.

As for negatives, the only thing I can say is that I wish the controller config was seamless. I've seen this issue with a few other games too (Pummel Party, for one). When connecting more than 4 controllers you have to disable Xinput on the menu and disable steam's controller support. With that done, it works fine. But I have games that play 8 or more people (Shipped, for example) that none of that is necessary. All controllers connect fine, no tinkering needed. I understand Xinput may have some limitations but elegant solutions have clearly already been found. When there's 6+ people playing games and having fun you don't want to have to mess with settings or look at forums posts to troubleshoot things. You just want the controllers to work.
