As a love letter to the ocean, it highlights the beauty and diversity of life underneath the sea while telling an important message about the destruction being wrought by humanity.

Gameplay: Koral features some mild puzzle solving and is relaxing for the most part, but the timed elements might annoy casual players.

Graphics: 3D models for the aquatic life and parallax for the fore and background elements make for a good-looking game.

Sound: The music is calm most of the time but isn’t afraid to tug on your heartstrings with some emotional orchestral swells in some spots

Loopmancer

Loopmancer

Loopmancer is a fast-paced action game that traps detective Xiang Zixu in a time loop where he is doomed to repeat the same day each time he dies.

The hack and slash combat is the highlight of the game, and there are tons of weapons to unlock, while the beautiful visuals don’t hurt either. Unfortunately, the story is filled with cliches, and the frequent cut-scenes suffer from stiff dialogue. Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons for players to keep looping their way through the game and experience everything it has to offer.

Gameplay: The combat in Loopmancer is fun, and there’s a wide assortment of melee and ranged weapons to dispose of enemies.

Graphics: Loopmancer features stunning looking levels and plenty of variety in terms of enemies and locations.

Sound: Despite decent sound effects, the audio quality and voice acting in Loopmancer are very uneven
