GRADE: Very Good. An indie tribute to Treasure games like Alien Soldier, shoot rip and tear through tons of bosses. Shoutout to still using Macromedia Fusion in the 2020s!

GRADE: Great! Solve murders, solve Picross puzzles, what more does a puzzle lover need? How about music by the Ace Attorney composer? Solved puzzles become a clue or piece of evidence to utilize.

GRADE: Good. People got tripped up by this one looking like Fallout, but it's actually a point & click adventure and an off-beat one with pre-rendered dialog scenes that call Laser Lords to mind.

GRADE: Excellent! A DKC-like with gorgeous 32-bit pixel art and a great feel to the movement. Levels on a theme, like DKCR, so the variety stays fresh throughout.

GRADE: Good. It's a mix of 3D Platformer, Zelda, and Souls that manages to thread the needle pretty well. There are also optional challenges that are full on Mario-style obstacle courses.

GRADE: Very Good. This was oddly my introduction to the Magic Tower style puzzle RPG, and it's a solid one. Uses an open world format to differentiate itself from Tactical Nexus or Desktop Dungeons.

GRADE: Very Good. I'm not going to pretend that every stage is masterfully designed, but as a $5 game that is attempting to recreate the feel of an N64 FPS, Zortch passes with flying colors.

GRADE: Mostly Good. You like PS1 Frogger? This is PS1 Frogger, replicated pretty darn well, though I think the bosses are tedious to get through.

GRADE: Good. Unusual block falling puzzler that resembles a hybrid of Tetris and Pictobits. You build pictures with the falling blocks as you race against time. Tense but exciting!

GRADE: Very Good. One of the better horror-tinged point & click adventures of recent years, with the caveat of having an ending that'll have you screaming at the main character repeatedly.
