  • Lots of humour
  • Distinctive, stylised art style

As Ash, the skeletal prince of Hell, you hunt down 100 monsters who saw an embarrassing bathtub photo in this irreverent platformer. Wildly varied, colorful zones and lots of mini-games keep things fresh.

Another Crab's Treasure

Lots of humour

As Kril the hermit crab you fight through a polluted underwater world in soulslike fashion, wearing trash as shell armor that each grants different abilities. Quirky humor and an environmental message meet a more approachable but still demanding combat system built on parrying and dodging.

Hell Pie

Lots of humour

A crude, irreverent 3D collect-a-thon platformer in the spirit of Banjo-Kazooie, where you play a demon hunting cake ingredients through a twisted Hell. Exploration, bizarre characters and crude humor drive the experience.

Well Dweller

Fantasy setting

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

The Messenger

Lots of humour

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.

Psychonauts

Lots of humour

A quirky 3D platformer where a young psychic dives into the minds of eccentric characters, each one a wildly inventive level. Sharp humor, distinctive art and surprisingly heartfelt themes about mental struggles make it a cult classic.

Doomblade

Fantasy setting

A 2D action Metroidvania in which a girl and her sentient sword fight their way through the depths to take down the Dread Lords. Exploration, fast combat and unlockable powers drive the experience.

Apotheon

Fantasy setting

A 2D action adventure presented as Greek black-figure vase painting, where you play Nikandreia fighting through ancient mythology and taking powers from the gods. Varied weapons, shield blocking and thrown arms keep combat fresh.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

Lots of humour

A charming 2.5D platformer where half-genie Shantae uses her hair whip and dance transformations to move through hand-animated stages. Lots of humor, bright cartoon visuals and ability-gated exploration define the experience.
