Code Bunny is a simple game that is reminiscent of Sonic or Megaman. It's easy to pick up and play but the mechanics also allow for you to learn more and create really interesting combos.

My son is 8 years old and he was able to figure out the mechanics easily so if you have a young kid who's interested in retro gaming like mine is, then I think this game will be a big hit with them for sure.

Quick review with some first impressions and here's hoping I remember to come back to update:

TLDR: If what you're looking for is to create a custom Mobile Suit or Gundam and have it operate in a way that lives up to your imagination then look no further, this is probably it. If you're looking for serious Armored Core style combat then it's going to disappoint.

Pros:

- Extremely in depth mech creator. If you give your gundam a backpack with a beam saber then they can pull and use it. If you give them a GN drive from 00 then they can use Trans Am. I've not run into a situation thus far where I'm unable to use an ability or weapon that I felt like I should be able to. No cosmetic weapons.

- Fun characters and a simple story line to engage you.

- The game's model selection seems very vast from what I've seen thus far.

Cons:

- The combat is pretty repetitive and is easy to break if you build your mobile suits to be crazy over the top powerful, though the game does try to afford some variety where it can.

- Missions stop you for story pretty often even when they don't have much to say. They're skippable but I feel like they could have done more with talking while you were fighting rather than stopping you to discuss so often. Kinda breaks up the flow state.

None of the cons are a deal breaker for me so this is still a huge recommend to anyone who really loves Gundams, Mechs, or Customization.

A fun little pet sim in the same vein as Digimon but with way more charm and use-friendliness. Don't go into this expecting something to spend a lot of time playing. Too much tending to it will make it less fun.

Pros:
- Adorable
- Approachable
- Affordable
- Minimal Time Investment Needed
- Sound Design and Visual Style are incredibly nostalgic

Cons:
- I don't have any. For the price this game pretty much nails what it promises and provides more than I expected. Immediately gifted it to my friend after playing a short time.

Plans to add a more detailed review after I've played more but here's a quick note:

This game is so much more than Stardew+Pokemon like the reviews I read say. Lots of thought and love and care clearly went into this game. I've really enjoyed my first experiences with the game and I'm planning to play a lot more. Definitely give it a try.

Found this game on a whim and the aesthetics appealed to me greatly. Gonna try to be objective here, but the TLDR is that I love this game and see myself playing it many more hours.

Overview:

If you told me the people who made this game never played the Megaman X and Zero series, I'd call you a liar. It's a huge love letter to both franchises clearly. But with some really smart design it manages to deftly avoid some of the problems those franchises couldn't solve in their time as well.

But, if you think that this game doesn't have anything new to bring to the table, you're wrong. One of the best things in the gameplay is the mechanic to grab and throw enemies in a way that at first reminded me of Mischief Makers on the N64 but quickly showed itself to be so much better than that. Every enemy is a potential projectile and that aspect works whether you're trying use it or not, enemies will crash into one another just from punches and from super moves as well. The seems designed to challenge you, but also set up situations where you can be a badass without much effort and thinking.

Pros:

- Old school, simple graphic designs that have been polished to a fine shine. This game looks like it runs on an NES that was built in the year 3001. Nostalgic and beautiful.

- The simplified designs and color pallets make it super easy to figure out what's going on during the fast pace of game play.

- No space on the controller is wasted. There was clearly a lot of thought put into the control scheme and it felt natural almost immediately.

- The game allows for different approaches for different levels of comfort. The way I play is vastly different from the way my son plays and there's accommodations in the level for both styles.

- No lives takes a lot of the needless frustration out of the game.

- The game is Incredibly fair, I haven't really had a death that felt like wasn't my fault.

- Mechanics aren't over-explained which creates some nice little challenges and puzzles naturally during gameplay.

- Very diverse set of super moves that's easy to change around and change out

- Facial expressions during conversations are well done and add some good humor if you're paying attention.

Not Pro or Con:

- Story here is minimal which helps keep up the pace of the game but could disappoint some people who enjoy deeper stories interspersed with gameplay.

Cons:

- Platforming challenges don't scale as well with difficulty as combat does. I think if Easy mode had things like longer reach for the chain swing or reduced knock back that would help this issue.

- I'd really like to have seen difficulty add challenges rather than just scaling up damage and enemy health. Some examples might be a lives system that gets implemented on hard mode that forces a full restart of the level when depleted.

Conclusion:

It's awesome. Seriously, this game blows me away. Previously I had spent a lot of time playing 20XX and 30XX and thought that my itch for Megaman-style platformers couldn't be scratched any better than that but this game just goes to show that there's more innovation out there for these style of games yet to discover. It's mind blowing to think that this is their first game on Steam and that it's this good and this polished at release.

It's not perfect, but it's not as bad as the reviews make it look.

It's not the same Sonic you've played a bunch of times, but if that's what you want then you can just re-play those games. I appreciate that they tried something different here and it's a solid and fun platformer.

Monster Sanctuary is a fantastic game. It's not a Pokemon clone, and if you go in expecting that you're going to be disappointed. You should think of this game more like a standard JRPG with a huge roster of playable characters and extremely high customization.

Pros:
- Game's difficulty is naturally dynamic. If you take your time and progress slowly you'll level enough that there won't be too much challenge, but if you move at a brisk pace you'll find a decent challenge awaiting you.
- Customization options are through the roof and respec items are readily available. Build your team exactly how you want it.
- Exploration is fun and rewarding. Your monster talents help you progress, but are typically not mandatory. This rewards you for having a big collection without punishing you if you don't.
- Platforming is precise and feels good. Mobility options through some monsters let you customize how you get around.

Cons:
- Combat system might be intimidating to first time casual players. Stick with it and talk to NPCs and you'll figure it out eventually. Levelling and equipping items will help if you're stuck.
- If you're the "get all the monsters" type of player you may find yourself over-leveling the game's challenge. My suggestion is to rotate out your party often if you're taking your time and you want to avoid the game becoming too easy.

This is not a game for min/maxxing, this is a game for an experience. If you're like me and are a little scatterbrained you'll find that little mistakes will get you killed sometimes and that's fine. Enjoy the immersion!

Pros:
- Systems on systems on systems. Everything you do matters down to taking vitamins and clearing the broken glass away before walking barefoot.
- Lots of ways to die. Seriously, I count this as a pro
- Good atmosphere and immersion.

Cons:

- It's complicated and if that's not your type of game you're going to have a bad time.
- It's going to feel unfair frequently which is the point but can make it more stressful than fun at times.

Ok, so this is a nostalgia purchase first and foremost. Only buy if you:

1. Have friends who will come over to play with you.
2. Have good internet to use remote play with friends via Steam
3. Just really love beat em ups.

Also, look up a guide because progression isn't really explained well in-game. TLDR: Eat food to get swole.

Long and the short: Yeah, the connectivity issues are a minus but access to the game is worth it for me.

Do you still play Turtles in Time on Emulator even after all this time?

Does the music of Neon Night Riders haunt you in your sleep?

Do you miss playing at the arcade with people you don't know?

Well then are you in for a treat. This game is the perfect nostalgic romp with just enough new features to keep you more than happy. I just beat the game playing as Raphael with a stranger who was playing Casey Jones and without words we shared pizzas, supported each other, and generally made my 90's kid cartoon dreams come true.

Pros:
- Easy drop in online co-op
- Diversity in characters movesets
- More nostalgia than I thought possible
- Amazing Replay Value

Cons:
- I had to wait 20 years for it.


TURTLE POWER!!!!
