Spelunky clone centred on a whole lot of different weapons and tools that you can collect and use throughout a run. Seems like there'd be a lot you could do after internalising how each of your tools works and what roles they can cover

Overall an interesting swing at the genre

Early Access Review
Already has a considerable amount of content for an early access game - between the three hours in the full release at time of writing and the 70-odd hours in playtest I still haven't seen all the paths currently in the game. The demo alone encompasses several hours of gameplay through the prologue and chapter 1 - try it if you're curious, then come back for the much more open chapter 2 if it's caught your fancy

An excellent corkboard detective game that paces itself out well

The meat of the game is six simultaneous and interrelated corkboards that gradually expand to provide more clues and story as their subjects go about their days. This lets you gradually build an understanding of the cast as their stories progress and intersect without having to process the full scope of their mystery all in one go

A short, enjoyable mystery with well structured clues that pace out the narrative well and give it the feel of an Agatha Christie detective novel

Early Access Review
Pretty. Tremendously pretty. Subnautica aims to capture the feel of going reef diving wrapped in a survival sandbox, and without a doubt it succeeds. From the moment you dive into the shallow reefs near your escape pod, you're making increasingly deep forays into the layers of wonder below the surface, building air tanks, flippers, subs, underwater staging areas... all for the purpose of going deeper and uncovering more of the world, to see the bioluminescent forests only seen at the deepest depths.

While in places performance is spotty, and at times the survival aspects are more of a hindrance than an aid to the experience (fortunately, there is the option of playing a softcore survival mode that removes food and water requirements), Subnautica nevertheless delivers a world worth exploring only enhanced by its light survival aspects.
