June 2025

A Surprise Hit – Even for a Non-Platformer Fan! I’ve never been into platformers — in fact, I usually avoid them. So when I started this game, I didn’t expect much. But wow… it completely won me over. The controls feel tight and responsive, the gameplay is smooth and satisfying, and the story pulls you in more than you'd expect. What really stood out to me was the music — it's beautifully done and sets the mood perfectly. The animations are clean, the RPG mechanics add just enough depth without being overwhelming, and the overall atmosphere is just… captivating. This game turned out to be a real gem. For someone like me, it’s easily an 8/10. Totally worth your time.

June 2025

Very short and doesn't overstay its welcome, yet a bit light on the metroidvania elements. This is a very good baseline for something greater and I have high hopes for the sequel.

June 2025

A roguelite that doesn't waste your time. Pros: - Laid back, satifying gameplay. - Great artstyle and setting. - Surprisingly interesting twist. Cons: - Boring, simplistic combat.

Chill game, with great vibes Rating ★★★☆☆ Easy to pick up and understand, simple UI and controls. Nice graphics and music. Grabbed it on sale and happy i did. Its also a perfect game to play on deck. Took me little over 4 hours to reach end boss and another 4 hours to beat it. Cant decide if i was just unlucky or just suck.

Steamworld Dig is a fun Steampunk Western Metrovanian with some mining thrown in for good measure. It's not a combination I would have thought of, but it works really well. The core loop is to dig, fight, and then return to the surface to sell your loot and buy new equipment, allowing you to delve deeper into the mysterious mine. It got its hooks into me immediately and didn't let go until I saw the credits roll. Also, its a perfect Steamdeck game if that is your jam.
