Eastward (2021)

Incredible work of art but it made me feel disconnected from it due to to its odd story choices and lack of character development.

Adorable and addicting, but it combines different game elements that don't always tie well together and the optimization needs some work.

Cadence of Hyrule (2019)

A bite-sized Zelda adventure, a perfect little musical summer game. Due to its random generation, no playthrough is ever exactly the same.

OneShot (2016)

I enjoyed its beautiful pixel art and its quirky, warm characters, but not having to constantly look for answers outside of the game.
