In this segment, the speaker addresses the emptiness one might feel after finishing a game and suggests three new movement games found on Steam to reignite excitement. The first game discussed is “Shadina,” developed by Alexi Captain Psy. It’s described as a platformer, hack and slash, and Souls-like, offering the fantasy of a masterful knight turning anything into a weapon. The game features creative combat where the environment can be used for strategic attacks. The speaker highlights the freedom of gameplay, encouraging players to experiment to achieve higher scores. High praise is given for its art style, audio design, and potential for interactive boss battles. The release date is still to be announced, but the demo comes highly recommended. The segment transitions to discussing “Coastline” by Funkyama Studios.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the main focus of a game centered around movement and its current issues. The game incorporates role-playing and mechanics like using an enchanted Trident with Riptide. However, the demo has significant flaws: a missing story, clunky movement, and restrictive mechanics. The developer addressed these issues in a Dev Vlog, promising a coherent story with an in-game cinematic and fixed movement mechanics. Despite the problems, the speaker is optimistic about the game’s November release. Additionally, an honorable mention segment highlights other games like “Glass Wings,” a third-person, no-combat, no-story Mirror’s Edge-like game, and “Spark Core,” a parkour game likened to Mario Kart.

In this segment, the narrator discusses their experiences with a variety of video game demos. They mention “sparkcore,” a game for group play, and “Valley Peaks,” a movement game with a cute art style where players climb mountains to install radios. The game’s mechanics are praised, though it’s noted to be aimed at newer gamers.
The focus then shifts to “invertigo,” developed by university students, where the player wakes up in an abandoned lab and uses a gun to change gravity for solving puzzles and reaching objectives. The levels are satisfying and offer huge replayability, especially due to a timer feature that encourages competitiveness. However, the narrator notes that the emphasis on speed may cause players to skip story elements and hidden areas, suggesting the addition of a separate challenge mode or integrating the timer and scoreboard into the game world to balance exploration and speedrunning. Additionally, they propose including alternative, more challenging paths and stage hazards.
