Horde of Viscount

Very fun and classic game that you can easily sink hours into!

7.5/10 Would recommend Pros: -Really solid game overall -Works great on Steamdeck -Graphics are reminiscent of the original GameBoy -The gameplay is very straightforward and provides little barrier to entry on easy mode -There’s some replayability, if you’re interested enough to go back and play again. Cons: -I have learned I’m not very good at following written directions, which I’d how this game communicates. -The achievements are annoying to 100%. I’m not sure I’ll be able to hundo this game. -I have some real issues with jumping games because I’m an idiot with no hand eye coordination. If you are good at that, it’s no big deal. In Summary: Every dollar you spend on a game should be at least 1 hour of entertainment. This game is an absolute steal for the price and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a good little game with a healthy dose of gameboy nostalgia.

fun old school banger

This game brings me back to Game Boy, but with a ton of modern QoL additions. It's good fun with adjustable difficulty.

If you can forgive a warts and all devotion to the aesthetic of an original Gameboy display there's a surprisingly engrossing Metroidvania here. An emphasis on item collection for crafting, secondary weapons with movement effects, and progression and powerups tied to equipment mechanically differentiate and make this game surprisingly deep. A medley of options to improve accessibility also impresses. Good thing too, because the gam will tend to grate, especially in the early hours. As far as specs are concerned, I ran this game successfully on a Sandy Bridge Celeron G460 with a single core and no graphics card. You would have to go out of your way to try to make a machine that couldn't handle this game. https://youtu.be/JCa3XJklEnM?si=xR7NecEN-guznwDB
