Mouthwashing (2024) PS1 inspired first person psychological horror game that tackles #themes and #subjects As far as actual gameplay goes there's not much here to talk about. That said, the experience of playing it has genuinely stuck with me since i finished it a few weeks ago. Good game i think!

Yellow Taxi Goes Vroom (2024)
A fun little Collectathon where you play as a little windup toy taxi. I played it on a fightstick for some reason and that was perfect. My only complaint was that sometimes the way the levels interacted with gameplay felt too loose. Probably a great speedrun game.

Deltarune Chapter 3 and 4 (2025)
Fellas, its peak. Go play it. This Toby Fox guy is pretty good at directing. Character writing, set pieces, music and battles are great as always. Can't wait to try to go for all the secret stuff later.

Hyper Light Drifter (2016)
Maaan ngl, i really really wanted to love this one but i couldn't get past how unpolished it felt in a lot of aspects. A lot of good ideas with lacking execution. Really cool game overall don't let me stop you but I'd be lying if i said i wasn't disappointed.

DIGITAL EXORCIST case_(0); (2023)
Weird lil Adventure Game Visual Novel RPG thing. Clearly more of a proof of concept/demo for the main game that should be comming out kinda soon. Vibes are immaculate. The Jungle Music + Sloppy Japanese/American Hybrid setting really sell it. Slur jumpscare tho

Milk Inside a Bag of Milk Inside a Bag of Milk (2020)
Playing this felt like i was watching someone have a mental break down and decided to throw rocks at them

Frog Detective 1: The Haunted Island (2018)
Grab it on sale for a silly fun point and click adventure with frogs who are detectives :)

ICEY (2016)
If your 2D action hack and slash doesn't have any achievements for hitting a combo it's a bad sign. It's a Meta Narrative game first and an Action game second and if I'm honest? Not very good on either front. Gimmick gets old like 20 minutes in really. Cute character tho.

Helltaker:Examtaker (2021)
49 step puzzle is nasty work whoever made phase 5 is an insane person. Needless to say these puzzles kicked my ass lmao

Iconoclasts (2018)
The character writing was really good, but the story kind of fumbled. The tweak system is also lacking and retroactively made the exploration element a little weaker to me. That said, really good Metroidvania. Fun and gorgeous, just wish it was a bit more.

Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number (2015)
I was at the ass end of this game years ago and never actually finished for some reason. Which is weird cause i was enjoying it. Immediately remembered why tho. Had to glitch a dog out of a corner it was stuck in for hours. Fun but ugh.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge (2010)
A bit rough around the edges in comparison to the more modern shantae games. Short and fun enough but unless you already like the series, I'd start with pirate's curse instead. The most interesting part was the foreground stuff but they didn't expand on it enough imo.

Awaria (2024)
Bullet Hell management sim wasn't something I thought I needed to try but it was pretty cool! I'd love some DLC or a second game that follows up on the concept later on. You can kiss the ghosts.

Dreams of Aether (2025)
Warioware but with the Rivals of Aether cast. Microgames are something i've never tried so I can't speak on how this holds up to the genre. All that said I had a lot of fun with it! I like how they throw random games at you that you need to figure out on the spot.

Dimension Tripper Neptune: TOP NEP (2022)
Another Rails Shooter but this one has a Neptunia Skin. Basically a sort of stripped down Space Harrier clone. Im not going to lie i've never played a neptunia game so idk why i bought this, but i liked it enough. SUPER short tho and not very challenging.

Super Metroid (1994)
This game holds up incredibly well. The highs were incredibly high and the lows were fleeting. Backtracking felt chorish at times, movement had a lot of moments where it felt like ass too (quicksand) But I finally get why this is the ppls favorite. Now i need to play SOTN.

Rusted Moss (2023)
This game is sick if you can get over how awful the controls feel initially. If you stick with it you will start to understand it and then it feels amazing. BUT, I do think some of the boss rooms and enemies felt borderline unplaytested. Not necessarily difficult but not fun.

Mirage Feathers (2024)
Afterburner with anime girls. I am ass at these kinds of games so take it with a grain of salt, but i feel like i especially had no idea if i was hitting things or what was hitting me. Cant tell if thats unique to this game or the genre. I wish the child wore pants.

Touhou Luna Nights (2018)
Not sure why this flew under my radar for as long as it did. Metroidvania with a touhou skin. Really captures the bullet hell roots. The timestop mechanic is sick as well. Really focuses on the Boss Fights and makes sure they're cool and engaging. Not too long either.

The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog (2023)
It's Amy's birthday so she booked a Murder Mystery Train event. Visual novel with a mini game that you would expect to see from one of the Sonic special levels you play every once in a while for the Interrogations. Must play for Sonic fans.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (2016)
This game has been sitting in my library since like 2018 and i just never got around to finishing it. Had a great time. Roughly 4 hours long but a really tightly packed metroidvania thats vibes lean more castlevania. Boobs lady jumpscared me tho.

Late Homework | 遅れた宿題 (2024)
Short PS1 style survival horror game but you're a catgirl getting homework that she left at school. Its a fun time, relatively replayable but not too deep or anything. Good time if you want to scratch that itch a bit but don't expect it to replace SH2 or anything.

Victory Heat Rally (2024)
Fantastic racing game with a single player focus. Its got your standard circuit races, time trials and what not, but it also has rally, passing challenges and other fun side modes. The car models sadly feel a bit samey, and the characters aren't AMAZING but i still like em

Panzer Dragoon: Remake (2020)
This game is really just dated. The lock-on fire plays the game for you, but the manual aim feels awful. 7 Levels, like an hour tops of gameplay, and ZERO spectacle. I'm sure this game looked amazing on the Saturn and that was enough back then, but now...eh.

Froggo's Adventure: Verdant Venture (2024)
A tiny kirby inspired platformer that you can knock out in just shy of an hour. Great use of 1 dollar. The game itself is very funny and very tightly made. I wish there was more! Maybe I'll just replay it.
