Arcade roguelike KAZ will probably break my arrows keys, and yet here I am wanting to play another round

The less buttons I have to press a game, the better. I am not doing a bit here, no japes to be found, a refined, paired down control scheme is like a cherub's smile to me. KAZ, then, is arguably almost the perfect game, perhaps three buttons away from such a status, as it only requires four of them. Those will be the up, down, left, and right arrows keys (or the WASD keys, depending on your hand preference (and okay you do also need to press enter occasionally, I'm getting away from myself her

Casualties: Unknown is Noita for furries, and oh so deliciously miserable

"This game contains depictions of violence, self harm, and general misery," opens Casualties: Unknown, a short but still considerate content warning for the survival game ahead. Boy howdy is that last one accurate! We'll get back to that, first, how about some setup. Read more

Even Endless Legend 2, a game with a faction of coral people who can make other people like them by infesting their territory with spores, does settle into a formula.
