Poker, but evil
Balatro
Poker roguelike with jokers that cheerfully break every rule of poker. We gave it a ten. We do not do that.
The shelf
Reviews
Every game here is one we actually played to a point where we felt honest writing about it. Scores are out of ten and mean exactly what one person felt, nothing more scientific than that. Only one game ever got a ten, and you can probably guess which.
Turn-based comfort food
Sea of Stars
A turn-based RPG that loves the classics so much you can feel it in every timed button press.
Sushi by day, chaos by night
Dave the Diver
Dive for fish by day, run a sushi bar by night, and somehow that is only a third of what this game is.
Speed and grease
Pizza Tower
A hand-drawn platformer that runs at the speed of a panic attack and somehow feels amazing.
Cute but cursed
Cult of the Lamb
Build a cult by day, crawl a dungeon by night, and feel slightly wrong about how cute it all is.
You are the cat
Stray
You play a cat in a drowned neon city, and yes, you can knock things off ledges on purpose.
Bullet heaven
Vampire Survivors
We installed it as a joke on a Tuesday. By Friday nobody in the group chat had slept.
A little fox, a big secret
Tunic
A little fox, a big sword, and an instruction manual that turns out to be the actual game.
