20. Lost Your Marbles

Release: September 2021, Playdate Beaten: March 24, Playdate (S1) Play time: 43m

It was not very good and that's about all I want to say.

Okay I'll say more. It's a visual novel where choice mechanics are decided based on a physics platformer/marble roller. But the choices are mostly inconsequential and the novel portion is uninteresting with unappealing characters. It's wholesome to a fault.

19. Wanderstop

Release: March 2025, PC/PS5/Xbox Series X|S Beaten: March 22nd, Xbox Series S Play time: 12h 31m

Wanderstop is a remarkable game that manages to do a lot. It's about, by my measurement, a million things. It's about burnout. It's about self-hatred. It's about the passage of time. It's about death, failure, the weight of success, family trauma. Patience. Stagnation. Denial.

But to me the most impactful thing Wanderstop explores is the idea of letting go. It explores this in many ways. Sometimes you will miss an opportunity you wanted to take. Sometimes you will work meticulously on something and it will be taken away or rejected. Sometimes you will lose something, or someone that brought you happiness, or purpose. And you are powerless to stop it.

Are you okay with that? Are you okay with being powerless? Are you okay with letting go? The protagonist of Wanderstop is not. Neither am I. But you have to try to be. Because you will always lose, you can't win forever, and everything you love is impermanent.

And that is okay. Relationships will fail and you will look back at them sadly, fondly, perhaps bitterly. But they were good in your life for a time. Friends will die and you will want nothing more than for them to be there with you again, but they can't be. But they were good, and they were in your life for a time. You will fail at something, and you will feel deeply that you have let yourself down, that you were so good at it before and you slipped. But you have won before, and it was good, and that was a part of your life. If you have to linger, linger on the good, and accept that what comes next will always be different, and that nothing is guaranteed. And that is okay.

Wanderstop is a game where you get every achievement arbitrarily, possibly randomly, and if you're lucky, they'll all unlock by the time you finish the game. But I never got the final achievement. I could spend a few more hours with the game in the hopes that the universe decides I've earned it. I could, but I feel that the game leaving me with an incomplete list is too apt. I like it this way. Does it make me squirm? Yes, sort of. But that is okay.

18. Detective Grimoire: Secret of the Swamp

Release: Jan 2014, iOS Beaten: March 17, PC (Steam) Play time: 2h 49m

Pretty fun mystery adventure game which I enjoyed overall. The presentation is great, with fun animation, art, and voice acting. The characters have interesting motivations and complexities, although the overall mystery has a somewhat lackluster resolution. It's worth playing, IMO.

A cute and inoffensive little puzzle-ish game that I thought was neat and short and sweet. What a treat.

16. Five Years Old Memories

Release: April 2024, PC (itch.io) Beaten: March 11th, PC (itch.io) Play time: 18m

A beautiful and lighthearted experience about humanity and youth. The sort of game that reminds you there is good in the world.

it's peak

I might be too tired to write a genuine review, but this is also a case where it's one of those games that I found mostly perfect, so it's hard for me to say much of substance. Super cute, well-designed and balanced, very polished and approachable. It was really everything I was looking for in a game like this.

14. Propeller Rat

Release: Sep 2024, Playdate Beaten: March 10, Playdate Play time: 1h 41m

Fairly decent game that is held back by things like the crank position being different from an analog stick even though it's mapped like one (not the most egregious offense; the wonkiness kind of added to the fun) and by a final set of levels that are absolute dogshit (they're bonus at least, but the game doesn't roll credits, so I felt like I had to give them a shot. I regret that).

I'd also like to point out that the dev probably could have iterated on the character design at least a little bit more to prevent it from feeling like they're stealing from Shovel Knight. (Comparison below) I guess it doesn't really matter but it doesn't feel right to me.

13. Golf Peaks

Release: November 2018, iOS/PC Beaten: March 9th, PC (itch.io) Play time: 5h 23m

A tightly designed puzzle game that might have caused a few headaches. I should probably take a break from puzzle games for a while. But I really don't have much to complain about regarding this game. It doesn't overstay its welcome too much, almost every level feels like a fresh twist on the mechanics you're given to play with, and it introduces new gimmicks at a reasonable pace while staying manageable. In that sense, it's really well executed as far as puzzle games go. If I'm really reaching for criticisms, I'll say the isometric camera angle sometimes made readability a bit rough.
