Reviews
Reviews of the games I play, aiming to quickly encapsulate the game’s essence and quirks. Most games have an audience; my goal is for the review to make it clear to you whether you are part of a game’s audience (whether or not I am).
A 2D and 3D Sonic game with a fun character creator and unfun levels.
A solid but imperfect murder mystery Picross mash-up with a Saturday-morning cartoon vibe.
A gentle and amusing open-world action game with tons of low-difficulty things to do and collectibles to find.
An inventive but difficult platformer with a rich story which you won't get to experience unless you are really good at precision platforming.
Basically the anime punctuated occasionally by unengaging gameplay.
A short roguelike with great atmosphere and game feel for its tactical twin-stick shooter combat.
A beautiful combo-based brawler, though the constant threat of losing money to death may frustrate some players.
A short and forgiving detective game that could serve well as an introduction to the genre.
A game of progression with a little too much friction to be relaxing and which doesn't give the player enough information to make plans for that progression.
A short and simple platformer with an enjoyable 'inking' mechanic that will hopefully be put to better use in a more-substantive followup.
