I'm still at the beginning of the game but I'm really loving it!

The characters are charismatic, the writing is funny, and the gameplay is REAAALLYY tight and fun! I've just unlocked the first two "actions" for the yoyo, and the way you can bounce it on any diagonals is really fun. I'm going up the "in-construction" skyscrapper and the game just introduced new mechanics on the level design that are interesting to navigate and solve puzzles around. All in all it's been a fantastic time playing it, be it doing combat, exploring and talking to funny residents of this world or solving trick rooms.

The music is super catchy, no wonder since some of it is from yoko shimomura, and the gameboy advance aesthetic is really nostalgic and beautiful at the same time. I can't wait to play more and see what other abilities I'll unlock for the yoyo and how this story will progress.

I loved this game, fun tactical challenges with a lot of unique possibilities for each caharacter!
The humour in game might not work for everyone, but it worked REALLY well for me. And while the story is mostly on the fun side, it had its emotional moments as well as it's critiques about our world dominated by corporate greed and billionaires.

All in all a great game, specially if you like to play around with tactics and trying to find optimized stratgies. The bonus challenges on each level are really good for this purpose because they might challenge you to find a one turn solution for a level that you didn't think was possible, or even end up giving some hints on how you could achieve because of the bonus challenge of some other character in the same level.

I do think this is a fantastic game on its own, but I also am a big fan of Gunpoint and Heat Signature. This feels like a mix between gunpoint and heat signature in which it is more story focused like gunpoint, but it brings a lot of experimentation and possibilities of interaction between abilities and improvisation like Heat Signature.

Absolutely Stunning game, with creative and new mechanics!

Being a dicebuilder instead of card deckbuilder adds a really fresh perspective, and the "dual health system" based on purifying or corrupting both yourself and the enemies adds a very interesting layer of strategizing and resource management!

I'm loving the game and wand to play it even more, can't wait to unlock more characters with unique mechanics!

Very cool game, simple, addictive, immersive while the run lasts, very fun!

This game is amazing! The pixel art and the music are top notch, but the game's design itself shines really bright! It's a really compact game but every aspect of it feeds another gameplay loop and makes it for a very expansive and fun experience!

It's a very good game if you like strategy, and the story and specially the writing about the items and enemies is also really engaging! Already one of my favorite games ever!

Heartwarming story, absolutely stunning execution and soundtrack. Loved it, got moved to tears by it, and completely charmed.

It is short, but a very worthwhile experience.

Dicey Dungeons is one of the best roguelikes I've ever played! It's a lot of fun, has a great soundtrack and visual style, the theme of "game show" matches perfectly to the gameplay and there is a lot more different gameplay styles in it than I imagined before playing.

Eacha character has unique mechanics and every level brings it's own twists. What amazed me the most is how tightly this game is designed, everything is concise and at the same time every mechanic is well explored! My only warning is that this game is very addictive, you'll "one more run" it till you loose track of time.

Streets of Rage 4 is a marvel of Beat em' ups, specially if you're already a fan of the series. The art is at it's best, the combos are fun, each character has it's own advantages and disavantages, having some variety so you can find the best fit for your playstyle.

I also loved the soundtrack and it's easily my favorite beat em' up game! I just wish Estel was playable!

Kind Words has been a wonderful and supportive experience to me! It's been great both to feel that some of my life experiences are usefull to people going through similar things that I've already gone through, and also encouraging and healing to receive advice and kind words on things that were troubling me.

It made me cry a lot the first day I played it, but it also helped me feel better and heal.

The game is super short but it is very good, and it's able to immerse you in the character's story more than you'd think!

Nice gameplay mechanics as well! Oh and read the book that is in the menu! It adds to the story and it's totally worth it!
