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 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 SONIC SUPERSTARS? Play it, especially if you’re an old-school Sonic the Hedgehog fan or just love platformers. Sonic Superstars is the latest game to take its franchise back to basics, and I love it! Jumping into this 2D adventure felt just like playing a classic Sonic game. Although the lack of voice acting (or dialogue at all, really) reminded me of what I hated about that era, Sonic Superstars

It is a festive 2.5D platformer that lets us enter the world of Dr. Seuss's beloved character, the Grinch; in reality it is the porting from Nintendo Switch, PS4, Ps5, PC and steam to Android/iOS. It is inspired by the 2000 film of the same name, here we will take on the role of the Grinch and his faithful dog Max as we embark on a mission to steal all the presents in Who-ville. It combines elements of stealth, puzzle solving and offering a variety of gadgets and abilities (a stealthy Santa Claus costume, a candy cane lasso and a jumping jetpack). What is striking is the Italian transposition with its colorful and imaginative visual elements inspired by the original illustrations of Dr. Seuss in a tale that enchants. The controls and puzzles of the game are designed to be accessible to all age groups, making it a gaming experience suitable for the whole family. A flaw?  The gameplay is short.

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

"Call of Duty 2024: Black Ops 6" or what it will entail. However, based on the past "Call of Duty" releases, it is likely that the game will be a first-person shooter game set in a military or war-themed environment with a focus on multiplayer gameplay. It may also include a single-player campaign mode with an engaging storyline and a variety of multiplayer modes, including team deathmatch, domination, and search and destroy.

SHOULD I PLAY JUSANT? Play this one, especially if you like platformers, puzzlers, or just outside-of-the-box storytelling. Jusant (French for ‘receding tide’) is a classic example of show-don’t-tell storytelling and is one of those games that’s really hard to nail down in a particular genre. That being said, climbing up a virtual mountain has never felt so relaxing, frustrating, and rewarding in what is probably one of the most unique gaming experiences I’ve had this year.

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.

Great game, Thought it was smash clone… It is but a good one that is just different enough but haves the same core mechanics of Smash but free. Now I game if 5 stars because this game is great but not entirely amazing, The issues I have it the characters some feel a little to good and some feel bad to play and clunky. Ranked is kind of a mess as well lag switchers and cheaters in the higher ranks as well, But the games where it was legit that is where the fun is!

Game Presentation: Graphics:   The game boasts high-quality art direction that manifests in a distinctive black-and-white aesthetic.

PLAY IT OR SKIP IT? Play it! Doomblade is a challenging but charming Metroidvania that gives off Hollow Knight vibes but manages to have a unique identity all its own. Stepping into the shoes of a tiny, tentacled creature known as Gloom Girl, I picked up an evil, sentient sword and set out on an intense adventure to take out the Dread Lords, otherworldly baddies who’ve wiped out the Gloomfolk and created a dystopian world. That adventure challenged my skills as much as anything I’ve played this year, but it was well worth fighting through to explore this wild, interesting world.

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.

A Hidden Gem That Deserved More Attention Downstairs is one of those rare games that quietly hides far more depth than it initially shows. At first glance it may look like a simple indie roguelike, but the longer you play, the more you realize how many systems, secrets, and emergent mechanics are layered underneath. What makes this game special is how items and weapons interact in unexpected ways.

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

Maybe many people don't know this game.. but I grew up playing this game. It's Cave Story a.k.a Doukutsu Monogatari. Well.. I guess I can say it's an underrated game. It's a pixelated game developed by a Japanese game studio named Pixel and published by Nicalis. Not only the most challenging platformer, but to me it's also the most memorable and sweetest story-based game. The gameplay and all of its soundtracks are great!

HAAK is a Metroidvania-Platformer. I really enjoyed the game from start to finish. The main quests are just so good because of smooth progression of the game. Side quest are also worth the time to do them. Just was felt sad to end it. I played this game on my Android phone, sometimes with controller to make it a little easier to beat the bosses. 📖 Storyline: The game takes place in a world ravaged by disaster. The once glorious city has been reduced to ruins, and the survivors struggle for survival. In the south, a land called Sanho has mostly remained unaffected by the calamity due to its unique geographical environment and has grown into something of a sanctuary. The protagonist, Haak, is a traveler from a small northern town. He chose to leave his home and ventured south to survive.

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