Remember what it was like to be a kid? We all had a childhood and we all had pretend adventures, usually with friends. Such is the case in Knights and Bikes, which follows two young girls as they have what starts as a pretend adventure of their own. This top-down...
Control combines a fantastically weird setting with fast paced combat, awesome exploration, and impressively destructible environments. It's an absolute gem of a game. Just make sure you get it on PC or an upgraded console.
Etherborn has all the good ideas for a clever puzzle game. Then it ends after only four levels, never exploring its mechanics in a way that makes them stand out.
The Sinking City has a fantastic story, atmosphere, and investigations, leading to something that feels genuinely unique. It's just a shame that it's brought down by an overabundance of crummy combat and glitches.
At its peak, Bubsy: Paws on Fire! is a generic runner that brings nothing new to the genre other than messed up hitboxes, poor controls, and awful padding. It also tries to be a boring SHMUP for some reason.
Observation
Observation combines weird sci-fi and cosmic horror with clever adventure gameplay and amazing atmosphere.
Days Gone
While it tries a few unique things, Days Gone's awful writing, abundance of glitches, and boring cookie cutter gameplay doesn't really make it worth spending time on.
Jupiter & Mars
Jupiter & Mars is lovely to look at and listen too. I just wish it was actually fun to play.
Katana Zero's gameplay is genuinely fantastic. It's the perfect choice for someone looking for the next frantic and challenging indie darling.
Heaven's Vault
Heaven's Vault manages to make me look forward to learning a new language, which is something I honestly never thought a game could do.
One Finger Death Punch 2 manages to take a simplistic gameplay system and turn it into one of the most bizarrely addictive score chasers I've ever played.
The titular falcon in Falcon Age is awesome. Sadly, it's also about the only good thing the game has going for it.
