Better Late Than Never!
Woooo… I’m out of words. Since the last report days became… challenging, for lack of a better word ^^” So I lost my focus and missed the report ;~; But better late than never I guess, so here it is! It’s significantly shorter than other reports though.
Alpaca Stacka is like a children's book: short, nice and sweet! It's a good game to play in a cozy afternoon ^^
This is such a weird and surreal game! You're basically a fetus trying to evolve and hatch from your egg by eating and absorbing lesser creatures. It's short and free, and It's worth your time! If you liked this one check Perfect Vermin and Brutal Orchestra as well.
A good point-and-click adventure game if you forgive its flaws. My main problem was most of Episode 1; puzzles had bad design, visuals looked ugly because it was tearing itself apart and the story felt very raw. But most things became better after the second episode, and the game became more enjoyable and captivating. A good choice if you want to play an adventure game and have no problem with janky stuff.
A very innovating collection of puzzle games! You must rearrange the panels of an animated comic book to advance the noir-styled narrative and avoid failing. Music is very nice, the puzzles are sometimes head-scratchers but fair and not very hard and animation is pretty good. Each game in the collection takes around an hour to finish, so It's a good choice if you want something relaxing and not too hard.
I've talked more about this game in my previous report, so check it out! My opinion about it didn't change much since then. The story could be a lot better though, but It's not bad. Also check Relicta if you liked Magrunner, heard It's very similar gameplay-wise!

A neat precision platformer with a thought-provoking story. Levels use a 2-layered structure and you must switch between them to navigate the levels. The only problem I had was with the scarf; It's cool, but framerate drops the longer it gets. It's a neat game, levels are challenging and the story is good, so why not to try it?

Originally played it for the Speedrun Event, which was canceled because technical problems. It's a fun platformer and visuals are kinda cute!
Actually a very fun Dungeon Crawler! It's the first installment of Return 2 Games series, which consists of 7 tributes to classic games and genres made in the '90s. It's your usual isometric RPG with Deckbuilding and some Clicker elements thrown into. Gameplay is rewarding, replay value is high and you can even adjust the length of dungeons! Overall It's a very fun experience.

Also knows as Not Tonight 2 Beta. It's an interesting game inspired by Papers, Please and such. Never played the first Not Tonight, but the beta was promising! Just a bit too easy.
Dystopian game where you must spy on your tenants for the government. It's a very dark game, both on narrative and atmosphere. It can be hard at times if you don't have a good strategy because some events need a lot of resources you might not have at the moment, which of course leads to a game over. It's a good game with high replay value due to different endings, I might get back to it again one day.
Third game from the Lego Batman series, and probably the best of them! First one was one of my childhood games and I have some sweet memories with these games :D My expectations weren't high, and Lego Batman 3 didn't disappoint me. Unlike the first game, this one has voice acting! I usually don't like voice acting in Lego games because it limits the narrative and humor (*stares at Lego The Hobbit*) but it works very well here since It's not an adaptation and it doesn't take itself too seriously. So far It's fun! I will continue my adventure later.

I didn't play that much to give a good opinion, but so far it looks like a good Metroidvania.

Fun first person platformer. It's currently in Early Access and more contents and features are being added, so it remains in the Unfinished category until it leaves the Early Access.
