Windswept is a 2D platformer inspired by Donkey Kong Country. You play as Marbles and Checkers, a duck and turtle duo both with their own unique moveset. This game is not for casual players, you will die a lot, and there aren't a lot of checkpoints. The base game is retro 80's levels of difficulty, while optional content is Celeste B side levels of difficult, requiring the player to master the full moveset of both characters. I personally loved this level of difficulty, but if this isn't your thing the accessibility options are great, like spawing checkpoints or invincibility. I highly recommend this game as someone who likes difficult platformers.
moonleap is a short puzzle platformer where jumping swaps the state of level objects. Grassy platforms swap between safe and spiky, enemy behavior swaps, etc. The goal of each level is to collect every flower. The game is short, having only around 64 levels, but there are optional goals like least swaps or optional collectibles, and hidden bonus levels. I highly recommend this game for anyone who wants a short but fun puzzle game.
Corgispace is a collection of 13 small thinky games. The concepts are simple but original, like a sokoban about being able to destroy terrain by merging gems, a dinosaur sorting game where you need to satisfy certain conditions, a reflex gem sorting game, etc. All the games are unique and fun. I highly recommend this for fellow puzzle heads.
Yooka-Replaylee is a remaster of Yooka-Laylee, and I say far exceeds it. It fixes a lot of flaws of the original, like making the roll move no longer take stamina, having levels fully unlocked from the beginning, the player moveset now being fully unlocked from the start, and removing a lot of annoying sections. Also new content added, with more collectibles than the original, and levels are tweaked to be more fun than the original. I actually found myself wanting to play more after beating the game.
