Exo One is an exhilarating game about traveling across alien planets at high speeds. Using a gravity drive to build up momentum before taking to the skies and gliding takes some practice, but the game is a lot of fun once mastered. The storyline is quite mysterious but remains rather vague throughout the game. Nevertheless, despite some finicky parts, the game is a blast and had us looking forward to seeing what each new level had to offer.
Gameplay: Exo One is not a very long game, but it is fun while it lasts and offers a unique experience.
Graphics: The art style for Exo One is superb, and while the visuals lose some of their splendor up close, everything looks great when traveling at high speeds.
Sound: The hypnotic soundtrack and otherworldly sound effects create an atmospheric experience

On the surface, Bugsnax is a game about finding and capturing adorable critters with googly eyes and pun-filled names using an assortment of wacky traps. However, things take a strange turn when using these same critters to feed and mutate the other characters in the game. Nevertheless, catching Bugsnax is fun, especially as it often requires some out-of-the-box thinking or creative use of your traps. The lack of any real danger makes the game suitable for younger players too, but to get the most out of the experience, players should definitely complete all the side quests.
Gameplay: Capturing all the Bugsnax in sight is fun despite some repetition, and the memorable cast of characters all have interesting stories to unravel.
Graphics: The designs of the Bugsnax are hilarious, and the game world is very vibrant, but the way you can mutate other Grumpusses by feeding them the Bugsnax can yield alarming results.
Sound: Bugsnax features a stellar cast of voice actors along with a very catchy soundtrack

Oxide Room 104 is a horror title that drops players into the terrifying Night Soul Motel and challenges them to escape unscathed.

Oxide Room 104 is definitely a title all horror fans will enjoy, but Silent Hill players, in particular, should not miss out on this one.
Gameplay: The game is creepy and tense, while the penalty for dying ensures that players can’t become too complacent while exploring.
Graphics: Some textures and animations could have been better, but overall the game looks great for an indie title.
