Best Games of May Review! (with video feedback)

Posted by FutureCopLGF - June 7th, 2023



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 THE MONTH


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 and I don't feature an author twice even if they had two good entries so as to spread the love etc etc):












And here are some Honorable Mentions (games that were close contenders for the top, additional games from an already highlighted dev this month, games that are still demos but promising, games that are clones of existing games but still good, etc):




Thanks to all the portal warriors that sifted through all the games to find the best in the bunch for me to check out in the first place! And as always, even if your game wasn't listed by me personally, hold your head high as I enjoyed playing all of them nonetheless as they are, after all, the best of the month!

This month gave us a good collection of games

Cheers, and you're absolutely right: while we didn't get as much games as usual in terms of quantity, the quality of the collection was incredibly rich and blew me away!

Thank you so much for playing my game! I'm sorry that it was not as satisfying for you as I hoped, I really tried my best to create a decent game from the feedback that its demo had back in 2021. I'll definitely use this as a learning experience and grow from it. Tysm again :)

Cheers! I think you were on the right track with it and I still had a pretty good time. The boss fights were definitely the rough patch for me as I'm a huge stickler for them, and while I liked the varied patterns, that lack of damage feedback really stuck out to me (though you could argue that it was just being nostalgic as a lot of flash games felt similar back in the day, haha) Looking forward to future stuff from you!

MEOW

that was a great playthrough as always :))

Cheers: it was a fantastic end to a fantastic series! Looking forward to future projects from ya!

Kick ass feedback man, you're a true NewGrounds legend

Thanks so much for reviewing Bando's Comic Wizard! Glad you like the haxxor aesthetic. ;D

Cheers, and I found that really amusing that I was spot on about that aesthetic: I thought it was just a coincidence at first, haha!

Thanks for playing my game lol, i hope it introduced Arfenhouse to new people!

Cheers, and thanks for introducing me to a new piece of history! An absolutely kooky and insane piece of history, but a piece of history nonetheless.
