Reviews

Bad controls, terrible animations, disgusting battles, dull voice-acting - overall pretty bad experience, but with some hints of some interesting story. But story is not enough to get through all of the game problems.

Too overcomplicated

Boring gameplay

Rotwood is a masterpiece. Klei's AAA indie roguelite punches way above 29€: Don't Starve lessons distilled into addictive loop, cartoon perfection, fluid animations, 4-player co-op heaven. Dozens of hours in, endless variety — unique runs, weapons, bosses. Cozy village, gear grind, 1.0 story payoff. Updates/DLC incoming (91% Steam love). Co-op transcends: coordinate, clutch saves, boss triumphs = joy screams. Switch 2 shadow drop genius for couch chaos. Animations: Pixar-tier magic. Early bosses brutal (learn/master = domination high). Roguelite/beat'em up/co-op fans: blind buy. Klei's best. Pure gaming bliss. Full French review: https://rogueh24.fr/test-du-jeu-rotwood/

Legacy of Kain: Defiance Remastered nails it: respectful remaster modernizes without betrayal. HD graphics clean/fresh, camera fixes frustrations, controls refined, voices intact — fan bliss. Story shines: epic Kain/Raziel finale, brilliant dialogues, deep philosophy, gothic Nosgoth magic. 15-20h nostalgic heaven (or newbie entry post-Soul Reaver). Gameplay solid: fun fluid fights (late repetition), smart dual-proto puzzles. Bonuses rock (lost levels/comics/Dark Prophecy demo in Deluxe). 25€ steal. Minor gripes: needs priors, some camera quirks. But mission accomplished — Nosgoth reborn. Fans: essential. 9/10 masterpiece revival.

Nice game about trying your luck with dice. Very based on luck

Solid roguelite with nonogram puzzle mechanics

Pack of badly made horror games

Badly made mix of "Binding of Isaac" and "Vampire Survivors"

Game with very limited mechanics - mix of tetris and card game. You need to drop dogs so two of the ssame dogs merge into one.

Very badly made clicking puzzle game

Nice indie game with good progression mechanics

Starts as a good workspace simulator at the beginning, but gets too psychedelic as story goes by

Good short cozy cooking simulator game with a mix of a puzzle

Interesting idea - you need to carefully read texts and find codes for related texts to read more texts

Not so great adventure - puzzles dont have logic and game has a lot of pixel hunting

Unpolished hotlinemiami-like. Generation of leves works badly

Esoteric Ebb is a stunner: narrative CRPG holding its own vs. Disco Elysium, Planescape, BG3. Killer writing, smart dense dialogues, fresh universe, choices that matter — Quest Tree evolves your Cleric perfectly. 30h first playthrough; replaying as mystic/diplomat/rationalist unlocks wild new paths. Replayability off the charts. Wordy AF (skip if you hate text walls). Combats meh — but it's all about story freedom anyway. 8yr solo dev passion + RAW Fury backing = indie masterpiece. 25-30€ steal on Steam. CRPG fans: must-play.

Planet of Lana II: Children of the Leaf is sequel perfection: ambitious, richer, prettier, soul intact. Wishfully nailed improvements — complex puzzles, new moves, varied biomes, deeper story, double length. Art style blows minds: hand-painted forests/oceans/mountains. Furukawa OST = poetry. Paused to soak it in. Puzzles flawless: fun, logical, final level genius. Story wordless magic: Lana/Mui bond, nature themes — Ghibli vibes. Tiny save bug (fix incoming). ~7h pure bliss at 20€ (Game Pass day 1). Indie 2026 gem. Demo it, get hooked. Part 3 when?

Very clunky made walking simulator with badly made puzzles
