Unravel is a puzzle-platformer where you play as a little creature named Yarny who can use his yarn to traverse beautiful, photo-realistic environments as we explore an old lady’s memories. The whole mechanics of the game are extremely unique, with Yarny being able to make rope bridges and trampolines and lasso his yarn onto objects…

Kao the Kangaroo: A Fun, But Unpolished, Adventure
Kao the Kangaroo from 2022 is the reboot to a series that began in 2000, with the original starring a kangaroo whose family is captured by hunters. I know absolutely nothing about these games (save for what I just looked up on Wikipedia), but I was drawn to the newest entry because I’m always interested…
Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series: Demo Review
Of the dwindling number of interesting retro games that I have still yet to play, the Klonoa games are one such series that sit relatively high on my to-do list. While I don’t know much about these games, these cute 2D platformers just look like something I’d have a lot of fun with, and so…
Shutter Nyan: Demo Review
Shutter Nyan is a puzzle-platformer about a cat with a camera who wants to cheer up its owner. The game has a simple, mostly black and white artstyle with splashes of color, namely when it comes to the objects that you can photograph. Certain objects can be photographed and then duplicated anywhere you want in…
Pompom: The Great Space Rescue: Demo Review
Pompom: The Great Space Rescue follows the story of a hamster named Pompom who must rescue his human friend Hoshi after he was kidnapped by pirate cats. Based on the screenshots, I expected the game to be akin to Super Mario World if Mario was replaced by a hamster. But when I started the demo,…
Lunistice: Demo Review
Lunistice is yet another one of those countless modern platformers that were made with our nostalgia in mind. But instead of mimicking the graphical style of old SNES titles, this game is inspired by the 32-bit graphics of PS1 and Sega Saturn. Lunistice stars the adorable tanuki, Hana, who can run and double jump through…
The Company Man: Demo Review
On the surface, The Company Man might seem like your average 2D platformer, until you consider the game’s rather unique theme: office work. You see, you play as a guy named Jim, who was just hired at the Good Water Company. Although it’s only his first day, Jim’s a rather ambitious fellow indeed, as he’s…
Imp of the Sun: Demo Review
Imp of the Sun is a Metroidvania that takes place in a world inspired by Peru. You play as a fiery imp named Nin whose goal is to defeat the Four Keepers and end the Eternal Eclipse. We begin the demo high up in the mountains with the eclipse in clear view behind us. I…
Sonic Frontiers: Demo Review
After Sega started pumping out mediocre Sonic games, I eventually gave up on the blue hedgehog altogether. Having no intention of returning to the Sonic franchise unless they produced something that really stood out, I couldn’t help but take notice of Sonic’s first 3D adventure, Sonic Frontiers. Nevertheless, after buying multiple lackluster games in the…
