It's a very good indie game for a debut title.

Colossus Down delivers more of the series' trademark wacky humor, but its core gameplay proves merely adequate.

Call of the Sea presents colorful atmosphere and layered intrigue, but some of its puzzles prove tedious to solve due to a lack of hints and guidance in each chapter.

They Are Billions resuscitates the RTS genre from its staleness by introducing the simple, yet radical idea of a pause button in a single-player game.

Despite this issue, however, Agatha Knife is an entertaining, albeit twisted, little game. It’s clever dialogue, colorful characters, and ridiculous antics kept me amused throughout the experience. Make no mistake, it contains loads of objectionable content, but for better or worse it also never takes itself seriously; even its own scathing critique of religion comes across primarily as a vehicle for humor rather than as a serious philosophical statement. If you can put up with substantial cartoony violence and other mature/risqué themes, I recommend checking this one out.

Solo is not only a work of art but a labor of love. Team Gotham certainly poured out their hearts into this game, and it shows. The visuals are amazing and the music hits all the right notes (pun intended). The game invites the player to reflect on their beliefs on the nature and importance of romantic love. Unfortunately, the game is not flawless, with missteps in the controls and in some heavy-handed philosophical conclusions. Nevertheless, Solo is an overall great gaming experience.

Crossing Souls is a solid retro inspired 80's love letter to all our favorite shows and movies from that era. The gameplay and some of the dialogue don't always work, but the nostalgia should be enough to make for an enjoyable experience.

Overall, the game is a blast and I highly recommend it. It has the potential to be hours of fun just trying to reach the top of a single pyramid. The skill tree seems a little too simple and could be more complex, perhaps including more skill areas to improve in. But I imagine it was made to be simple so as to not come across too much as an RPG instead of mainly an FPS. The scrolls add a nice touch, keeping each pyramid run as random as ramdom can get and keeps the game from getting boring too quickly—not to mention all of the different playable gods, eight in total.
