Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!

Really nails that WarioWare wackiness. And the mini games are on spot!
How can you not recommend a demo??

Diner at the end of the galaxy world. Metaphorically.
A great little game about people dealing with their problems and traumata.
The characters are a tad too stereotypical but are told convincingly.
You experience the past of five ( well six ) characters/couples and decide their fate.
There is no wrong or right path. It's up to you how the stories end.
I'm not a great fan of the cooking and serving though. Just not my cup of tea.
The visuals are very atmospheric when you finally decide to disable the pixel effect and the line jitter.
Good for two playthroughs with ~2h each.

Overall a short (<10h) and slightly boring single party member rpg.
Despite being set in a dystopian world the game feels way too cozy.
And the turn based battles are too repetitive to be interesting.
The pixelart is pretty good at times, especially the animations.
And the german translation ist sehr gut und oftmals richtig witzig.
But that doesn't save it from being boring.

Bookwalker is a walking sim disguised as a point & click adventure.
It takes obvious inspiration from Disco Elysium and Planescape Torment.
And while both the MC and his sidekick are likeable and the stori(es) are interesting
it gets a bit stale without any real challenge. I get it, they wanted to tell a story.
But this is a game. If you just want to tell a story like this, it's better suited for a real book.

Haven't had so much fun with an arcade racer since Motorstorm.
A fantastic blend of Destruction Derby, FlatOut, Burnout and the aforementioned Motorstorm.
Great nostalgic fun! Just be sure to deactivate the annoying slomo effects.
If it wasn't for the slightly inconsistent car behavior this would probably be the best arcade racer of all time. But it definitely is the best in recent years.
It even has a 4-player splitscreen mode and one of the best soundtracks in years.

The perfect yet unexpected amalgamation of Kentucky Route Zero
and What The Golf. Lighthearted and (too) short. Only complaint I have is the asking price. It's a little bit high for the ~2h of game time.

Retro style lewd shooter with an interesting reload mechanic that adds to the familiar gunplay. Also you have scantily clad characters and lots of gore, but not really more than in, let's say DOOM. Maybe its more prominent because it's not only demons you rip and tear apart but often human anime girl-ish enemies. Texture tilesets feel not very varied but the level design makes up for that. Worth mentioning is also the soundtrack which adds greatly to the atmosphere.

Feels similar to Hylics despite being in a completely different universe. It's whimsical; it's serious; it's bizarre at times. Should be a good game then. But unfortunately the made up old english makes it a drag to play. Since there are a lot of texts and every single one is an exhausting challenge on it's own I gave up after ~2h. If there will be a modern english version I will probably change my review and finish the game.

Looks nice, sounds nice. The humor is a hit or miss with its cliche divorced detective tropes. On the gameplay side it falls terribly flat. The game doesn't really rely on combining clues. You just walk around and collect keywords, until you have enough to fill in the blanks. Often by purely brute forcing the solution.
