Best Games of January Review! (with video feedback)

Posted by FutureCopLGF - February 12th, 2021



Every month I see to review all of the games that were nominated as the Best of that month, which you can view in the link above!


As a game developer myself, I know how difficult it can be when you are starting out and how tricky it can be to tell how your game will be received by users. After all, you know how your game is meant to be played, and you can't just wipe that from your memory when you're building and testing it!


Therefore, I record myself playing all of the games for the first time for 10-15 minutes and try to voice how I'm feeling when I'm playing it, so that developers can see how a user might experience their game for the first time, especially for things like tutorials. I also try to provide some advice as well, but it might not always be the best: what I'm really hoping is that developers can draw their own conclusions on what might need work from how I stumble through their game.

While all of these games were the best of the month...


MY PERSONAL ARBITRARILY-RANKED TOP 10 GAMES OF JANUARY


My top 10 was (in sort-of ranked order and based on my own criteria which is some weird sense of 'memorability' for me personally and totally subject to genres I like though I try not to be too bias blah blah blah):












With honorable mentions to:






Cheers to all the game devs this month: even if you weren't listed above, I still love playing all of the games made (and hopefully, my bumbling can help make even better ones)! This month was super hard to reduce down to just ten and a bit: my god, so many stellar entries!


Little bit late this month: some sickness seeped into my bunker and tried to take me down. But no amount of sickness can take me away from my game reviewin' duty!

Left a comment on YouTube, but thank you so much for this!

Thanks so much for this! And for checking out my app! A lot of very useful feedback!! Really appreciate, gonna follow you for the next one ? Hope I make the cut again with my new game, and I will definitely implement the mouse feedback you gave, didn’t even think of having the mouse click on a panel to zoom! That’s genius and ten times easier to code.

Thanks for checking out my game, Type Help! I enjoyed seeing you try out lots of commands... I do wish you had solved the Demon name puzzle though... there's a lot more "depth" after you figure that part out!

Ah yeah I've been meaning to go back and check it out! I kinda spoiled myself by looking at some of the other reviews for hints afterwards and saw that I should've shortened my 'command' to 'cmd' and then wow, it's suddenly like being back in my old DOS days: quite the surprise! Definitely pretty interesting stuff, though I have no idea how I wouldn't figured that out by myself, haha (though given the fourth-wall breaking, maybe having it spoiled like that is just part of the intended experience)!

Thanks
