'Breeder Homegrown', Pixels Done Right

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Pixel games are one of those things that can really either be amazing, or just okay. With every month, there is more pixel games added to all game libraries. But sometimes, you find a game that really impressed you, and you find yourself eating your own words after saying "pixel games? No thanks."

Breeder Homegrown is a pixel horror game where you investigate a monster in the garden than has been harassing the main character for a long time. You walk around the house, looking for various clues to help you along the way. All of this is while you follow a simple, yet tedious challenge, don't get caught.

The graphics for this game are really well done, and really high quality for a pixel game. I also think the soundtrack is a really huge highlight of the game, and it makes you want to keep going back and playing it again. The game can be really short if you want to rush through it, but if you like to look at each and every aspect of a place like me, you will be enjoying this game for many hours.

I highly recommend this game for horror fans and pixel game fans alike. The story, without giving away anything, is truly gripping, and I already find myself wanting to go back to it and play again. I also really appreciate how charming and just minimalistic, yet visually appealing this game is with it's Earthbound-esque vibe. I highly suggest anyone and everyone gets their hands on this game.

'Animal Crossing: New Horizons', A Front Runner For Game of the Year!?!

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

So, simulation games are a huge genre, especially nowadays. Not only are some of the most popular games simulations of some kind, but they also tend to be some of the most beautiful, creative games that are released all year round. The more unique the game is, the better.

Animal Crossing, as a series in general, is one of the most unique life simulation games where you get to meet so many adorable villagers and do all kinds of tasks for them, but the new entry in the series is simply breathtaking. New Horizons is the first Animal Crossing entry in years, and has been welcomed to the Nintendo Switch with open arms. Not only is their new villagers, as always, but with the introduction of not only hemispheres, but the addition of your main world being your own personal deserted island, the Animal Crossing series is better than ever.

Upon playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons the day after release, I immediately lost hours in real life in the best way possible. Suddenly my mind had been whiped of all the terrible things happening in our world, and I was able to just relax and just feel complete and utter bliss. I feel the graphics in this game are more stunning than ever, and some of the new things (which I won't spoil) make this absolute masterpiece well worth getting.

I believe this game could be for nearly anyone. Between all the daily tasks, and addictive decorating and collecting, it is really made for a variety of different types of players. The second you start, you find out who your first two villagers are, and what your native fruit is, which is insanely exciting. I can truly say this game is a front runner for game of the year.

'Battlesloths' is What I Didn't Know I Needed

Multiplayer games are a huge part of the foundation gaming. They allow us to really connect and enjoy something we love as a team, or against each other. There are so many different types of multiplayer games, not many of which have quite as unique of a concept as today's game.

Battlesloths is a multiplayer shooter where you are a sloth and you need to fight other sloths, whether they are other players or AI, to get slices of pizza throughout the map. There are 15 different weapons and 900 hats to customize your sloth. The graphics of Battlesloths are retro, but the concept is new and refreshing.

The gameplay of Battlesloths is amazing in itself, but alongside the soundtrack, it is truly enhanced. The soundtrack really makes you feel pumped and motivated to win. The arsenal of different weapons also makes you plan ahead with what kind of strategy you will use. The longer I played Battlesloths for, the longer I couldn't help but be pulled away from the game, it's kind of addictive.

I recommend this game for those who need a fun game that could be played at parties with friends, with pizza of course. It really quickly feels like a party game, and I really think anyone can learn how to play it. The more you play, the better you get.

What is a multiplayer game you love? Comment down below! And a huge shout out to the incredible folks at Invisible Collective for giving me the opportunity to play and review this game. I really appreciate it!

'Music Racer', A Bright Rhythemic Adventure

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Music is such a huge part of gaming. In game, in real life in the background, any time, music can make or break a gaming experience. But you know what type of game is amazing as it put both music and gaming into one concept? Rhythm games.

Music Racer is an incredible game developed by AbstractArt and published by Sometimes You where you race along a road to the beat of the music and try to get combos, all while getting upgrades to your car and having some beautiful visuals in the background. Although customizing your car doesn't really do anything to make your car any more or less capable to do anything, but it does make the game more visually appealing.

This game is pretty short but sweet, but it has a lot of substance, and definitely a lot of replayability. I highly recommend it for car and music lovers alike, and I believe it is one of the more spectacular music and rhythm games currently on the Nintendo Switch. As far as rhythm games to, this one is superior to many in my opinion.

What is your favourite rhythm game? Comment down below! And also a huge thank you to Sometimes You for hooking me up with this game! I am extremely grateful!

Have a nice day!

'Iris and the Giant', A Sombre Adventure

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Mental health is a topic that is not really explored in a huge number of games. I think people are afraid at times, simply because they don't think they can relate to others. Any game that explores topics seen as taboo is a huge positive in my opinion.

Iris and the Giant is a stunning, yet sombre card-based game about a young girl's battle with depression. The aim of this game is to create a deck to strategically beat the monsters in multiple places, and escape them via the staircases. It is anything but a cheerful, happy game. But that isn't necessarily a negative thing. 

With every different world of Iris and the Giant, I found myself having to use more strategy, or at least use all the luck I possibly could. The different power ups in the game can make you able to complete levels easier, or you can even make your enemies stronger. It's definitely a concept I am yet to see in many, if any, other games.

Between the beautiful, unique art style, and the simplistic, yet stunning background music, I think all kinds of people can definitely enjoy this game in one way or another. Mental illness and mental health can be such a taboo topic in the world of gaming, or even the real world, so I think the existence of this game and how is doesn't just tip toe around the topic of depression is something that could truly help people.

What is a game that you find relatable in any way? Comment down below! I also want to say a huge thank you to Goblinz Studio for a copy of this incredible game! I appreciate it a lot.

Have a nice day!

'Energy Cycle Edge', A Thought Provoking Journey

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Throughout the last few years, there have been so many games that you can lose hours in. But there has been a huge shortage of games that you can pick up and play for a shorter amount of time. That is, until I played today's game.

Energy Cycle Edge is a puzzle is a puzzle game where you have to use your brain to basically it's full capacity, and make every single jewel on the screen into the same colour. This is all while having some glowing backgrounds, with music playing, and even having some characters around the outside.

Upon beating the very first level of Energy Cycle Edge, I already found myself having great difficulty in completing any more levels to begin with. It was as if the game was almost working against me. Eventually, with the motivation of a fantastic background music soundtrack and really stunning visuals, I found myself progressively improving at this game and just improving with every level.

I really enjoyed how thought provoking this game was. I found myself becoming really quickly addicted to this game, and I had a lot of trouble ever putting it down until I had finally completed it. This game is definitely a steal for the mere price of $7.45 AUD, but I was lucky enough to be given a review copy of it from the incredible team at Sometimes You. I truly appreciate it, and think this game is a hidden gem I didn't know I needed until I played it!

'Rage Among The Stars', Adorable Yet Epic

Hey everyone! It's your lad, Galaxy Gaymer!

Platformers are such a huge part of my life as a gamer, and so many other's lives as gamers. Some of my own fondest gaming memories trace back to so many of the amazing platformers that have paved the way for myself and so many others and made us the gamers we are today.

Rage Among The Stars is an adorable, yet epic game in Steam that is a platformer where you play a cute skeleton who had to race against time to complete levels, while scaling walls, gaps, and many different obstacles in order to get different medals. Perfection is the key with this game.

Whilst the skeleton is clearly adorable, I think a really cool highlight of the game is the heavy medal music which perfectly contrasts the character itself. I think the word 'Rage' being in the title says it all, the levels are simply impossible at times, but then you feel really amazing when you overcome that obstacle, or beat that level you were stuck on. I also weirdly appreciate the Easy Mode in which the skeleton gets a cute little flower to wear, which I know is intended to be used against him, but it's my favourite part. With the possibility of returning to past levels and trying to outdo yourself, it's a win-win situation!

Between the soundtrack, the adorable skeleton, and the small price of $5.95AUD, there's no reason not to get Rage Among The Stars. I think this game is a really great platformer, and I truly recommend it to any platformer fanatic as it is well worth the time and effort. I also want to give a huge thank you to Kata Games for setting me up with a copy of this incredible game that I will not stop playing anytime soon!
