“3/4: Hinterberg leans heavily on its presentation and characters over depth of gameplay. The sore(st) thumb here is the combat- it starts clunky and never really gets better (just easier).”

“4/4: Nine Sols has a lot going for it- beautiful hand-drawn animation style, engaging exploration, and blistering parry-focused gameplay. Difficulty felt right up until the final boss.”

“4/4: A brief but tightly designed puzzle experience. Using the arm is fun and each puzzle introduces a new twist/challenge. The worst thing I can say is that I wish there were more of it.”

“4/4: It starts slow, but once you get some skills and gear, it opens up. There's a nice rhythm to the whole thing. It's a sort of dark story, in the end, but told with big Bikini Bottom vibrancy.”

“4/4: Good art direction with smooth animations and good weapon feel. The gameplay loop is unoriginal, but well executed. There's some story which provides direction without being in the way.”

“4/4: A fluid, high-octane platformer that shouldn't work as well as it does. The abilities are nicely varied and zipping through the impeccably designed levels never got old.”

“3/4: The story is the star of the show: you get to live an Indiana Jones movie. And, much like its inspiration, the narrative is fun but the details (and gameplay) are lacking.”

“4/4: Mechanically improved from the first game. Loved the "away missions" and push-your-luck mechanics. Exploring a galaxy was fun, but it felt like there was less variety for actual activities.”

“3/4: Flirted with some interesting story moments. Great voice cast and characterization of this gaggle of AIs. Puzzles were basic and forgettable. Architecture was pretty though!”

“4/4: Sort of remarkable in its mechanical depth. Seamlessly blends exploration, combat, and base building for a delightful experience. The UX really shows its age, but not enough to stop my enjoyment.”
