Platformer – Play Critically

Ayasa: Shadows of Silence Review

Ayasa: Shadows of Silence is not ready to be in players’ hands.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound embodies everything a retro action platformer should aspire to be.

Celeste is one of the most incredible works of art in recent memory—in any medium.

Neva’s basic platforming keeps me playing. Its haunting visuals keep me fascinated.

Plague of Shadows is by far the most disposable of Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove’s single-player content.

SCHiM vexes me. I want it to be incredible. It’s a boring platformer with an empty protagonist and a wasted story.

Trine 4 is made with refinement, intelligence, and heart. It is easily the best videogame in the series so far.

Adventures in Gameland is a disappointing Rugrats throwback that in no way justifies its outrageous pricetag even to the most passionate fan.

Shovel of Hope captivates me with retro platforming nostalgia.

Rogue Legacy’s foundational gameplay loop makes it a must-play indie action-RPG.
