Super Woden Rally Edge (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Somebody out there must like these Super Woden racing games, as this is the third one I’ve reviewed.  This top down racer is more of a rally race, meaning that instead of laps, you go from point A to point B on a track just once.  Super Woden Rally Edge is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia (Switch, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)

Marsupilami is a European comic book character who is a fictional animal with leopard-like spots and a super long tail.  He and his friends live in the jungles of South America but remains relatively obscure in the US.  Die-hard Disney Afternoon fans like myself may remember some bumpers involving Marsupilami and he even got some shorts on Disney’s Raw Toonage 90s Saturday morning cartoon.  He’s also been in a few video games and I reviewed one about five years ago.  And here’s the sequel to that.  Some ghostly skeletons are using a magic boom box to hypnotize all the animals in the jungle, and now it’s up to Marsupilami and his long tailed friends to stop them!  Marsupilami 2: Salsa Palombia is a 2D platformer that plays very much like Donkey Kong Country.  It’s available on most current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Apidya’ Special (Switch 1 & 2, PS5, Xbox X/S, PC)

In this 2D side scrolling shooter, you play as a bug as you shoot down enemy insects in giant themed areas.  Reminds me a little bit of Insector-X.  Originally an Amiga shooter, now you can play it on most modern consoles (reviewed on Switch 2 here), with added features.

Kaboomania (Switch, X/S, PC)

There are times when a game takes inspiration from another title, and there are other times when it’s just a blatant rip off.  This is one of those times.  Best way to describe Kaboomania is that it’s basically Bomberman.  Sure you play as a guy instead of a robot and lay dynamite instead of bombs, but it’s the same game.  Kaboomania is available on some current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

Pets Survivors (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Here’s another Vampire Survivors clone where you shoot enemies as pets with guns.  I think the same company who made Dagger Froggy also made this one because that frog is in this game, too.  Pets Survivors is available on all current consoles but reviewed on PS4 here.

Obakeidoro 2: Chase and Seek (Switch 1 & 2)

About five years ago I reviewed the original Obakeidoro, and now here’s the sequel.  A mysterious man in a top hat has changed a school into a haunted mansion so that ghosts and kids can play a spooky yet silly game of hide and seek together.  Help a schoolgirl and her friends, or the ghosts, play in this multiplayer centric mashup of hide and seek and tag.  Obakeidoro 2 is available on Switch 1 and 2, but reviewed on the latter here.

Plungeez (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)

Have you ever heard of a game where you play as a plumber and must run and jump through 2D worlds?  Yeah, you MIGHT have.  But what about one where you play as a plumber in a 2D world and ACTUALLY do plumbing?  Yeah, maybe not.  Well now there is a game like that with Plungeez!  A mysterious manhole has appeared in the city and a plumber has fallen in.  Help her escape and solve the mystery of the manhole in this 2D puzzle platformer with light “Metroidvania” elements.  It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

Reader Review: Educational Family Games (PC, Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S)

I’m not a PC gamer and haven’t been for a while, mainly because I can’t afford a gaming PC.  But when I got a Steam key for Educational Family Games, I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to review it as it fits the audience of this site nicely.  So I got my brother Jeff to review it!  So here is his review of Educational Family Games.  It’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Steam here.  –Cary Woodham
