Jet Kave Adventure is an attempt by a small Polish studio to make a quality platformer in the style of Donkey Kong Country Returns. And they did a great job!

As a pastiche of Rare’s N64 days, Tamarin has charm and some pedigree, but its flaws can’t be ignored.

This short, cute, low-poly platformer with some creepy touches was a true joy!

Diplodocus has pivoted from a 3D charmer to a less novel 2D jump ‘em up for its second Regina & Mac game.

A love letter to Banjo-Kazooie will get my attention, even if it’s written a little clumsily.

I’ve never really played an isometric platform adventure game, but when a love letter to a genre has this much evident passion it gets me interested.

This indie game is more like a cross between Link to the Past and Mother 3, plus a big bucket of wholesomeness.

This bleak, enigmatic indie game sits comfortably in a space somewhere between The Legend of Zelda and Yume Nikki.

I came for the recreations of multiple eras of gaming technology, I stayed for the surprisingly good time-travelling RPG.

Here’s another game that plays with the idea of mimicking the graphics of a variety of old game systems!

After the mock-retro game collections, here’s a game with a similar premise.

After playing through the Game Center CX games, I didn’t want to be done. Luckily, this gem eventually emerged in my search: a 1997 Japan-exclusive Playstation 1 game presenting a set of nostalgically-made homages to very early arcade games. We’re talking late 70s, early 80s.
