They put all the stealth systems right there in front of you so there's no questions or anything. Just good sneakin'.

Magically transported from a 1995 MS screensaver this game is a stone cold classic. Full of some club techno bangers too.

Only recently de-throned by Celeste, this was probably the most addictive 2d platformer I'd played of the 21st century. The aesthetic hasn't aged perfectly but boy does that OST slap.

The Xbox Live Arcade did not have a giant wave of titles flying onto it every day so when something showed up that was as fun and replayable as this, you took notice.

I don't play a lot of shmups but this one was pretty accessible.

Eyyyyyy, I'm walkin' here!

I'm learning I played a lot of perfectly fine 2d indie games back in the mid-2010s

Yup... it's an indie platformer alright.

Points for being creative and unique. Negative points for being ugly as hell.

Sure.

Fine.

Perfect length for a game like this. Real tight fun time exploring some wacky ideas.

Man, this game kinda stunk huh?

Man that two screen flip combo... You know the one... It messed me up.

Boy nobody saw this one coming? A post-modern military shooter in the era of Call of Duty's dominance on the market. Ballsy. And it paid off. Game did a good job with it's setting and everything else. The white phosphorus scene is something.

For some reason, I went through a big Napoleonic Wars phase (they're interesting, I highly recommend looking them up) so while I'd bounced off Rome and Medieval TWs, this one clicked with me.

The musket meta game makes it a lot of fun too. Something fun about stacking guys to fire a few shots and then go in and club the survivors. I repelled a larger force with a tiny militia by using the landscape to my advantage once too. That ruled. Great game.
