The main menu music is really good, the complexity, of puzzle from the maze itself is not complex, its just alot of walking around and back trekking. when the minotaur spawned it like attacked me once then i think it clipped through a wall and got stuck. I like the music when the minotaur shows up. I think my biggest issue was how weird the controls felt, you had to like point which your mouse cursor and then wasd, movement did not feel go in the game. Anyways hope this helps thanks for the game

Janky combat, bad graphics, nice music on the main screen but music doesn't actually work in game? "dash" is actually a shield. This feels like someone doing a very basic Make Your Own Hades tutorial. Maybe I didn't get deep enough into the game to get to the good parts, but nothing I've seen so far makes me actually want to.

The Asterion is a really charming roguelike adventure that caught my attention because of how it mixes Greek mythology with a shifting dungeon. I play as Theseus, guided by Ariadne, while exploring the Labyrinth of Knossos and searching for a way through its traps, spirits and forgotten secrets. I liked the atmosphere right away because it feels mysterious without losing the playful side of the adventure. The main gameplay revolves around exploring procedurally generated sections of the labyrinth while dealing with enemies and environmental hazards. I never know exactly what the next area is going to look like, which makes each run feel a little different. I enjoyed having to react to the layout instead of simply memorizing a fixed route, especially when traps or enemies suddenly make a previously safe looking path much more dangerous. The combat is straightforward but satisfying enough. I can fight mythological creatures and animated statues while collecting different artifacts that give me stronger abilities. I liked experimenting with these upgrades because they give each run its own direction. Finding something that works especially well with the way I am already playing can …

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.
