Downwell

1. Downwell

A fun roguelike that itself is not that long, but really difficult and worth its original price of only 3$, which is well enough for its playtime. Its Level Design is nicely structured. The first few levels have a moderate challenge, but the ones later on are not easily beaten on the first try and last boss was gave me an adrenaline rush. Beaten on: 08.01.2016 Score: 6/10

Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta

2. Unearthed: Trail of Ibn Battuta

A weird Saudi-Arabian clone of an Uncharted game. Bought it for 75 cents and had my fun with it, even if it's a bad, bad game full of bugs. Beaten on: 21.01.2017 Score: 1/10

Kero Blaster

3. Kero Blaster

The second big game by Studio Pixel and I loved it so much. The style, level design and even the story are all amazing. I loved it so much, that I even played the New Game + (which is completely different with a new plot) immediately after I finished it. Even after my second playtrough, I still kinda want to play it again. Beaten on: 22.01.2017 Score: 7/10

Batman: Arkham Asylum

4. Batman: Arkham Asylum

Love the exploration and felt like an 3D-Metroidvania. My only complains are the boss battles, which where all pretty boring or just plain bad, and the counter system (but only because I'm bad at it). But overall, this game was really good and unique. A milestone of his generation ! Beaten on: 27.01.2017 Score: 7/10

Super Mario 3D Land

5. Super Mario 3D Land

It felt great to play a 3D Mario game again. It's not as big as the home-console games. Stuff like Boss Battles and the lenght of the levels were not as great and long compared to the other 3D games. But I liked the Special World and maybe I'm going to play all levels with Luigi again, who knows Beaten on: 30.01.2017 Score: 8/10

Stardew Valley

6. Stardew Valley

This game took everything that Harvest Moon had and put it in one amazing game. The choices you have to run the farm are impressively huge. The Mines, the quest in the old house, your farm upgrades. You could probably play this game for 200 hours until you're done. As of this review, I've only played to the end of the first year, but I do see myself coming back to this game and play like 2-3 gamedays in a sitting Finished my 1st year on: 30.01.2017 Score: 8/10

Oxenfree

7. Oxenfree

1.Many people didn't point it out, but this game kinda looks like a return to the style of PS1 games. Your surounding is pre-rendered and your characters are not that detailed. Sure, the resolution is much higher and the characters have more polygons. But so many are talking about retro-games with playstation graphics. And this isn't even Oxenfree's biggest pluspoint Got my first ending: 07.02.2017 Got my second ending: 14.02.2017 Score: 8/10

Pokémon X/Y

8. Pokémon X/Y

It's a pokemon game Defeated the Champ on: 08.02.2017 Score: 5/10

Antichamber

9. Antichamber

Even if it's titled as an puzzle game, this feels more like an "anti-game"... Beaten on: 19.02.2017 Score:6/10

Resident Evil

10. Resident Evil

It really isn't that scary once you get the shotgun. But then the Hunters appear and oh god. Beaten on: 21.02.2017 Score: 8/10 (This game hasn't aged that well. Let's say this score is for people who played it relatively fresh or who are really into old video games)
