The first and most important thing to note about Star Renegades is that it’s gorgeous — the world is rendered in some of the most detailed and animated pixel art I’ve ever encountered. This isn’t a case of people using pixel art for budgetary reasons, these are artists embracing the chunky rawness of the pixel art aesthetic to build their world.
HIGH Stalking my prey and exacting righteous vengeance.
LOW Getting shot by a dude who literally appeared out of nowhere.
WTF Why does everyone think they can take John Wick in single combat?
HIGH Art design and voice acting.
LOW The story is forgettable.

WTF I never saw the AI use a wagon once.
HIGH Humorous tactical combat in a bleak world.
LOW The game is easily broken.

HIGH The tweaks revitalize the campaign. Finishing several missions with a 100% hit rate.
LOW Getting all of the DLC properly activated is counter-intuitive. Performance issues.
WTF Seriously, don’t play Iron Man mode.
HIGH The sense of surviving a watery wasteland.
LOW Uninspired, low-risk combat.

I’ve been watching Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden for a few months now and always had a passing interest in it, but had yet to get my hands on it. This post-human apocalyptic turn-based strategy game has anthropomorphic characters and an interesting setting, but it wasn’t until actually playing that I realized my initial thoughts about it were slightly wrong.
HIGH Easy-to-pick-up deck building mechanics.
LOW The awkward user interface.
WTF Accidentally selecting the wrong enemy if they sway a single pixel into my cursor.
HIGH It’s a concise RPG brimming with content and character.
LOW The fixed camera makes it hard to see what’s going on.
WTF The quest to prove to a zombie that he’s dead.
