A relatable and emotional story through a mysterious underwater world, but the interactivity is minimal and makes you feel uninvolved.

Somewhat narrow in its storytelling and world-building, but it's very successful in creating a fun, tight, satisfying platforming experience

Succeeds in being being wholesome, comforting, and fun but the slow-paced style at times is too slow and is hindered by a couple of bugs.

A limitless puzzle box where you can try just about anything, but it loses some of its impact constantly trying to "get" you with its twists

Surprised me with its story and challenged me improve my skills, although the quest systems was at times confusing.

Can be painfully sluggish in its gameplay and lacks enough characterization to make its story as compelling as it could've been.

A witty and timely parody of tech and start-up culture as well as a challenging dungeon crawler.

Intricate, realistic environmental art and sound take you deep into its untamed world, but is interrupted by its weaker writing and movement

Immerses you by making you a part of its emotional and resonant story, but some of this immersion is lost in gameplay that feels clunky.

A stylish, freeing game with a distinctive humor and personality, although the platforming and movement doesn't always feel as ideal.

Does experimental stuff in its gameplay that I believe mostly pays off, although the story could have been more cohesive in its two worlds.

Interesting and at times challenging escape room adventure, although its "poop joke" humor and sub-par voice-acting detract from that.

A terrifying but very real dive into a family's worst nightmare - despite its realism, it's perhaps less eerie and atmospheric in its style.

Despite an unclear story and very simple controls, Never Yield is an incredibly catchy and satisfying game to master and move along to.

Allows you to interact with items in a new, unique way despite the fact that its "hidden object" puzzles get a bit repetitive.

A heartwarming yet surprisingly dark tale about family; tells its story well despite sometimes making you backtrack for little details.

Developer: The Voxel Agents Back in 2019, I wrote a special feature about the indie games I had the chance to check out at SXSW Gaming...

A wholsome story and simple in its interactivity - an okay playthrough that's perhaps better suited as a child's introduction to games.

A beautiful journey in which you are one with your vessel, operating it like a puzzle while also facing challenges of the road.

Raji: An Ancient Epic is a beautifully done game and piece of art with some mild but fairly obvious gameplay flaws.
