Shiner

Have you ever wanted to use an enemy-broken ass ability in an RPG game? This is your chance to do so, but first, you must defeat the enemy with the said broken ability. don't worry; if there's a will, there's a way, and this game is all about experimenting and trying out different strategies and failing and trying again with a different plan.
Unlike most RPGs, Shiner is a game where you have to go around beating up foes; success, you'll get to use any of their abilities to your benefit to fight more enemies, and so on. At first, this may seem easy to achieve but as soon as you exit the tutorial stage, you are met with harder challenges. The “basic” enemies become more like a bossfight that you might not be able to defeat the first time around. To be honest, you may lose a lot, but that's ok because this game is all about trial and error. Getting beaten up is actually useful to figure out their abilities so you can organise a plan to decide which opponent you can easily defeat to gather all their movesets to work your way up the ladder.
I'm not joking when I say this game is challenging. One wrong move could cost you so it is important to preplan and map out the abilities you'll need to use and in the right order. You can only equip up to 4 skills, and most of these skills can only be used up a certain number of times, so your options are very limiting, but that is what makes this game great for players who love strategy. Those who are not, don't be scared to try this game out. It may be discouraging to happen to lose up to 10 times in a row, but once you get the hang of it will feel the more rewarding things you accomplish.
Plus, there are a lot of fun ways to experiment with different skills, many of which are unique in the ways they operate, with some that may appear useless on their own, but once you figure out other skills combo off each other, then you might as well break the game. For example, there is one skill called ''Interpretation'' that makes it so for the rest of the match it make it so all your skills does 1 extra damage for each vowels in the name of that particular skill. So now you can imagine how a useless skill like “Your Opponent Suffers One Damage” that would have (obviously) dealt 1 damage per hit now does a whopping 28 damage per hit.
If this seems intriguing enough then allow me to move out of the way to not spoil the rest of the fun you could be having of a game with a brilliant execution of a neat idea.

Adorable game with adorable voice acting about a topic that isnt tackled much in media despite how paramount it should be in any day activity: Consent

A nice puzzle/rpg with great voice over
A bit frustrating to me, even with the help from the pause menù.
Also a save option would have been usefull because with the trial and error it can take a while to end it in one session.
Tough, it is FREE so you don't have any excuse not to try and review it!

Get punched in the face, learn philosophy.
Highly recommended. No penalties to trying out different strategies.
Take your time, figure things out.
Or rush through it in an hour or less. Up to you.

This game is really fun and I really enjoyed playing through it. I only found out about it due to it being made at DigiPen, and while I wish it weren't so that the people who actually poured their soul into it were allowed to actually own it instead of a school that doesn't contribute at all and then shelves the IP forever, that doesn't make it a bad game. (Seriously though DigiPen, I hate you. Your morality is on par with Tommy Tallarico)
