Silicon Path Review
A Round, Cartoonish Art Style Hiding a Brutal Precision Platformer Silicon Path's premise is a strange and specific one: you play an unrecorded silicon atom sent into the body

Solar Ash
A sci-fi skating-platformer from Heart Machine, the studio behind Hyper Light Drifter -- Very Positive on Steam and genuinely loved for its movement and art, but shadowed across years of reviews by a consistent verdict that it never quite lives up to the pedigree that sold it.
7 / 10
Sonic Frontiers
Sonic's first open-world entry, warmly received for boss fights and writing that reviewers say the series hasn't matched in years -- while a growing, high-vote complaint about Denuvo's always-online requirement has nothing to do with hedgehogs at all.

Squirreled Away
Live your best squirrel life Squirreled Away lets players experience an oversized suburban park entirely from a squirrel's point of view: leaping between tree limbs, gathering

Stuck Together
Hugecalf Studios' Stuck Together is a physics-based co-op climbing game about two toys bound together on an escape mission through the house of a sadistic child owner, earning a Very Positive reception for its tight controls and rage-game platforming that reviewers say makes or breaks friendships, tempered by a repeated late-game difficulty spike and scattered crash reports.
7 / 10
The End Is Nigh
The End Is Nigh sends a small, sad blob named Ash through hundreds of brutal precision platforming levels in a decaying post-apocalyptic world, from Super Meat Boy co-creator Edmund McMillen. Its level design and dark tone earn genuine praise, while a specific, recurring complaint about a finite-lives second chapter and a lack of meaningful long-term reward keep it from a clean sweep.
7 / 10
The Knightling
A shield-surfing, Jak-and-Daxter-flavoured open-world action-adventure whose movement, art and award-winning soundtrack draw the kind of praise that gets a game called "the PS2 game we never got," undercut by year-long unfixed performance stutter and a combat system a large share of its own reviewers call the weakest part of the package.
7 / 10
The Pedestrian
A gorgeous, genuinely inventive puzzle-platformer starring a pictogram figure hopping between street signs across a stylized city — beloved almost universally for its concept and art, while a real minority argues the puzzles themselves never get as clever as the premise promises.
7 / 10
The Rogue Prince of Persia
Evil Empire, the studio that carried Dead Cells through years of live-service updates, applies the same acrobatic movement and 2D action-roguelite formula to the Prince of Persia name — genuinely fluid to move through, but persistently criticised across its 15-month Early Access run and beyond for weapon and run variety that never quite escapes its own most obvious comparison.
7 / 10
Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft
A lovingly built remaster of the original PlayStation-era Tomb Raider trilogy that this review's sample overwhelmingly praises for its dual classic/modern presentation and faithful level design, later undercut by a controversial 30th-anniversary content update that a large, vocal share of reviewers say shipped buggy under a different, cheaper development outfit.

Tombwater
A 2D soulslike that fuses Bloodborne's cosmic horror with A Link to the Past's top-down exploration, set in a cursed Old West town full of Eldritch nightmares — genuinely special when it clicks, and only lightly hampered by a vague map and a few rough edges.
7 / 10
Trine 2: Complete Story
Frozenbyte's fairy-tale co-op puzzle-platformer remains one of the most visually praised games of its era, with reviewers consistently calling its hand-crafted environments a genre high point — undercut by a specific, mechanically literate critique that its puzzles lean too heavily on one character's abilities, and a fresh, current complaint about DRM and Epic Online Services being added to the game via a January 2026 patch.
7 / 10
Trine 5: A Clockwork Conspiracy
Frozenbyte's fifth fantasy co-op puzzle-platformer is, by wide agreement, its most gorgeous entry -- and its most persistently broken in the mode the series is built around. Steam has it at Very Positive, but a third of its English-language negative reviews, spanning three full years, describe co-op desyncs, lost progression and crashes that were never fixed.
7 / 10
Ultros
A psychedelic metroidvania trapped in a time loop aboard a cosmic, living space station, praised almost unanimously for its eye-melting art direction and score — and criticised, with real specificity by critics and players alike, for a repetition-heavy loop structure, inconsistent combat, and at least one well-documented save-corrupting bug still being reported more than a year after launch.
7 / 10
Vigil: The Longest Night
A debut Metroidvania that wears its Salt and Sanctuary and Bloodborne influences openly — critically well-received and Very Positive on Steam for its gothic art and boss fights, held back by confusing itemization, quest-breaking progression traps and a map screen players report as unusably broken years after launch.
7 / 10
Windswept
Solo-led developer WeatherFell, working under lead designer PeekingBoo alongside artist Meru, delivers a Donkey Kong Country-inspired buddy platformer starring a duck and a turtle swept away by a storm, earning strong praise for its tight controls, charm and confident early level design, set against a detailed, recurring and genuinely split thread within its own review base over whether its difficulty curve, especially in later worlds and post-game content, undermines an otherwise beloved game.

Fireboy & Watergirl 2: The Light Temple Review: A Faithful, Cheap Co-op Sequel
Oslo Albet's official Steam remake of the classic flash sequel keeps the two-player puzzle-platforming formula intact, and reviewers overwhelmingly approve -- though more than one independently prefers the original's mechanics to this entry's reflective-light and darkness gimmick.
