PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? If you’ve got any appreciation for the Metroidvania style of game at all, then you owe it to yourself to play Afterimage. Coming off a successful Kickstarter campaign just a year ago, developer Aurogon Shanghai has released the next masterpiece in a masterpiece-heavy genre. With tight controls, compelling progression and exploration, and especially a stunning hand-drawn art style, Afterimage pays homage to the classics while also undeniably forging its own strong identity via a fascinating and diverse fantasy world. It’s really good.

SHOULD I PLAY BLASPHEMOUS 2? This is the easiest “YES” I’ve given in ages, unless you can't handle how nasty it is. Blasphemous 2 is a sequel to what was already one of the best and most memorable Metroidvanias of the modern era. But much more than just retreading the exact same territory, this sequel builds wisely on the strengths of the first game. It’s not just a long adventure and not just a return to the disturbing, gothic world of 2019’s

Ugly is a macabre puzzle platformer set in a twisted fairy tale world. Its beautiful art style is evocative of the innocence that exudes from the drawings of children warped by the scars of trauma and abandonment. You play as the unnamed prince who sticks out like a sore thumb. He is our titular “ugly” character with his harsh eyes and bulbous nose, a stark contrast to the sophistication and hand-crafted beauty that surrounds him in the vast castle. Perhaps that is why the story starts with him waking up locked away in the basement, hidden away from the world.

The city of Ancora was founded hundreds of years ago by the first Guildmaster Othniel and powered by the Saga, a collection of all the wondrous stories in the Bible. This city provides light and life to all the land. At the top of the city stands the Spire Of Light which shines with the power of the stories contained in the Bible.  Meanwhile Ancora is still recovering from the attack of the Great Shadow, his greatest enemy intent on stealing his 11 exciting missions of biblical stories: Messages from the Angels (the angel Gabriel appears to Mary, Angels and Shepherds (the birth of Jesus), Jesus and the Fishermen (Jesus calls his first disciples), etc. The Great Shadow was defeated by the simplest of treasures: a simple wooden cup (the Holy Grail) that symbolizes the greatest story of the entire saga, unfortunately many of the stories were lost in the attack and the Spire has faded. It will be our task to recover them. It is a world-famous digital title where the stories of the Bible come to life for the opportunity to discover Jesus and engage with the passages of the Bible. Here the stories of the Bible come to life in new and action-packed ways thanks to a fully customizable character entering and discovering the adventures of the Bible using the best parkour (free running) skills, climbing and operating contraptions to overcome timed doors.  We will meet Jesus and experience the miracles he performed. This title was the winner of the Premier Digital 'App of the Year 2015', 'App of the Year 2017' and 'Innovative Use of Media in Outreach' awards.

SHOULD I PLAY 30XX? If you’re a fan of the Mega Man series, 30XX is a game you won’t want to miss! It’s basically a roguelite version of Mega Man X, and that combination is just as amazing as it sounds. Even if you’re not big on Mega Man, there are plenty of other reasons to check this title out, like the gorgeous graphics, smooth controls, and insanely addictive gameplay loop. If that’s not enough to sell you on the game, it also has a level editor, couch co-op, and online gameplay.

SHOULD I PLAY GHOSTRUNNER 2? If you love the cyberpunk aesthetic or are looking for something with a similar vibe to play after wrapping up Cyberpunk 2077’s new DLC, then yes, definitely give this one a shot. Ghostrunner 2 is the sequel to a first-person sci-fi ninja game that launched back in 2020. That first game was already an awesome, adrenaline-pumping journey through a messed up neon future, but this one amps everything up to eleven. It is a supremely challenging, brutal, and beautiful game that deserves your attention.

SHOULD I PLAY WORLDLESS? Give this one a miss. Worldless has some ideas that are neat in theory, but frequently end up feeling like they were implemented by someone unfamiliar with the concept of video games. Particularly aggravating is the combat, which stops the game’s free exploration for a stodgy back and forth turn-based battle system. Combine that with frustrating traversal puzzles in which errors drop you back to the beginning, and this beautiful abstract trip turns into a slog that just isn’t worth making. For a better version of this experience, try

Actually I really-really love this game. And so is everyone else. If you see around, the other releases cost 10× this one, so play this one instead. That is.... If your phone can actually handle heavy games. No wonder the game is badly reviewed on Play Store. Only ⭐ 3.5??? Most of them caused by performance issue on low end Helio phones that's pushed beyond recognition to play a AAA release. I mean Handy games should put a proper minimum requirements on the page so people at least know what to expect!

Maybe this is not an accurate platformer but I must admit that since I first met him I fell completely in love. Since this game brings music inspired by the 80s, a retro touch that when playing makes it more alive. It is a futuristic retro game but dragging the 80's, in which the ship has to be careful when moving to the track, however, time is numbered, since the training and will serve as enough support, because for the next track, it will have to be done in less time.

Enjoy my experience through this awesome platformer.  I really love the look and feel especially when it comes to the boss battles.  Very fun!

Sonic games can be hit or miss, but we'd say the titles have a much higher hit rate. That's why we were so happy to hear that everyone's favorite superfast blue hedgehog is returning to his roots in Sonic Superstars. While this latest Sonic the Hedgehog adventure is in 2D, that doesn't mean it looks like a Genesis game. Superstars has a nice new art style that's more modern and flashy, and if the above trailer is anything to go off of, it looks like it's full of surprises as well.

"Momodora: Moonlit Farewell" is the latest installment in the Momodora series.

Momodora: Moonlit Farewell presents the account of the greatest calamity to befall the village of Koho, five years after the events of Momodora III. Once the toll of an ominous bell is heard, the village is soon threatened by a demon invasion.

Others have already nominated some very good and hard platformers and I would like to nominate my personal favourite, Celeste. In Celeste, you play as a girl who is climbing a mountain to confront her fears. Throughout the mountain, there are several unique areas to explore and characters to meet. The game is insanely challenging to say the least but everything seems fair when you reach the top: the peak of the mountain. It is the most satisfying feeling ever and I cannot convey it though words only.

If you played the original Blasphemous anytime since it came out in 2019, then you know it was a disturbingly bloody little game that proved that pixel-art graphics can still bring the gore and grossness. And if you played it, you'll also know that on top of being filled with messed up enemies and cutscenes, it was also an extremely good Metroidvania. But whether you played the first game or not, you should take note of the impending release of

SHOULD I PLAY PEPPER GRINDER? Play It, especially If you like retro graphics, buried treasure, and power tools. Pepper Grinder is a great (and great-looking) pixelated platformer. I had a blast drilling through bedrock, spinning through enemies, and looking for treasure in this short but sweet demo. TIME PLAYED I sank around an hour into Pepper Grinder. The demo only features a few levels, but it still showed off what the game was all about. I learned all the basic mechanics, was introduced to the story, and most importantly, got to spend plenty of time drilling!

SHOULD I PLAY UGLY? Give Ugly a go if you’re into platformers, puzzlers, or dark fairy-tale worlds. Even though controlling two characters simultaneously in a mirrored world can be incredibly disorienting, Ugly’s puzzle mechanics are truly unique and blend perfectly with the game’s dark atmosphere. And though I wouldn't classify Ugly as horror, there were still plenty of twisted memories to unlock that genuinely gave me the creeps.

Not long after I started Super Mario Bros. Wonder, I was treated to an impromptu musical number. The mountains in the background bounced in time with the music. Piranha plants sang in perfect harmony. Some of them even jumped out of their pipes so that they could shake what their mama gave them. It’s the kind of showstopping scene that some games might save for a later act, but Super Mario Bros. Wonder
