Eh, it's alright. I mean, it feels like a class project, or a cheap phone game. It's alright, but... I dunno, there's tons better on Steam. It's pretty bottom level rock basic, with nothing to distinguish it from its many competitors.

Exceptional.

Extraordinarily difficult, merciless, with (simple) tech trees and a perk system that leaves little to no room for error - and it is magnificent. Hardcore in the original, controller throwing sense of the word - but as rewarding as it is cruel. It tweaks my buttons in all the right ways. To get the most out of it, you should absolutely play with different character profiles, and explore different tech and perks as you level up - some just won't work, some will make things considerably easy. And remember to grind for scrap (the game's currency) - it's easy enough to get, just by playing the game. The random levels are a great touch that adds essentially infinite replayability.

I'm just gonna say it. Tower of Guns, the procedural death labyrinth roguelike fps where you shoot guns to level up your gun and get power ups is... sublime. Very, very basic gameplay, and the graphics are pretty basic for this day and age, but the rhythm and gameplay of it... it's just really what my brain needs right now. There's that word again - it's just... sublime. I agree 100% with TotalBiscuit on this.

Imagine Ikaruga, but as a sidescrolling platformer. Great hardcore platforming SHMUP aciton.

Exquisite. Better than Super Meat Boy, more style, more class, more action, and the best ending of any videogame I've played.

What can I say? It's Cave Story. Set a new standard for story-driven action platformers that... honestly I'm not sure has been matched in the years since. Just get it.

A surprisingly inventive and deep puzzle platformer. The graphics and music are are simple, but the controls are solid. Each room has a different platforming mechanic - and there are 100 of them.

This game would be a wonderful game to teach your child about classic 2d platforming skills. Endless variety and inventiveness here.

The game is... it's a good game, I enjoy it, but despite its somewhat clunky and unintuitive controls. Chunky. The gameplay is chunky, if I had to describe it in one word. The soundtrack is chill as ♥♥♥♥ though. I recommend it for the soundtrack.

PLayed the first few levels, it's... not... great. You run around collecting 'gems' and bonking monsters. That's it. The graphics are extraordinary, but - there's no /game/ to it. Utterly bizzare. It's like they made the first 10% of a game, the graphics, and then... just stopped.
