Gold-Plated Games

It’s the first Weeklong Deal roundup of the new year! And it’s a dense list this time, crossing all sorts of genres. There are a few notable titles I haven’t reviewed yet like Wuppo, Valley, and LeftWay that you might want to look into if you’re the curious sort. I haven’t actually reviewed a whole lot of what’s up this week, but I’ll be getting to more of them pretty soon.

Also, I announced this on the Steam group but I’ll be doing two reviews a week for January, on Tuesdays and Fridays. Tuesdays will be to keep up with smaller Curator Connect titles that I can knock out quick, while Fridays are going to be the more substantial games I’m spending most of my time on. Look for the first of those tomorrow!

New Hotness

Shadowgate (Review) – A fine, modern remake of the classic gothic horror adventure

Letter Quest: Grimm’s Journey (Review) – One of the better typing games out there, integrating a fair bit of strategy and challenge

Super 3-D Noah’s Ark (Review) – Wolfenstein 3D re-skinned into an educational and competent bible FPS

Back to Bed (review) – A simple, surrealist puzzle game using Chu Chu Rocket mechanics

Monster Loves You! (Review) – Adorable choose-your-own-adventure visual novel with loads of replay value

Old ‘n’ Busted

ENKI (Review) – Great idea for a horror puzzler, but pretty poor execution
