Stray

Stray is a game that allows players to experience all the mysteries and thrills of a long-forgotten cybercity through the eyes of an adorable cat. In addition to roaming around doing things players would expect from a cat, Stray is also filled with action, puzzle solving, and a great cast of characters. Navigating the seedy underbelly of a dystopian society is nothing new, but doing so from a cat’s perspective is definitely a novelty. The game isn’t perfect, and the adventure is brief, but it immediately draws players in and doesn’t let up until the credits roll.

Gameplay: Along with solving puzzles and outwitting dangerous foes, Stray also allows players to explore and cause mischief in a way only cats can.

Graphics: Stray’s beautiful environments and attention to detail could rival any AAA studio and create a highly immersive experience.

Koral

Koral is a short puzzle game set in tranquil underwater environments. 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. While fun to play, the game is concise, and even with some variation in the puzzles, some parts can feel a little tedious. However, players who can overlook these flaws will find a game that was clearly a labor of love.

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 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. However, thanks to its rogue-lite elements, Xiang is able to unlock new weapons and skills that make each run a little easier. 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

Fishing Paradiso
