SANABI

I’ve never been much of a fan of 2D or pixel art games, especially when playing them on a big screen. But after getting a Steam Deck, I thought, [b]This might be the perfect device for games like these[/b]. The very first game I tried was Sanabi, purely on a friend’s recommendation. I went in completely blind no gameplay videos, no reviews and I’m so glad I did. The gameplay is fantastic it's smooth, snappy, and incredibly fun to master with brilliantly designed levels that suit both casual players and speedrunners. I had so much fun mastering its mechanics and eventually clearing Legend Difficulty. Yet, as great as the gameplay is, what truly stayed with me is the story. It’s been some time since I was this invested in a narrative (probably not since Clair Obscur: Expedition 33). Unexpected twists, emotional character arcs, mystery, and clever pacing kept me hooked from start to finish. And here’s the biggest surprise: Sanabi changed how I view certain styles. I’ve never...

Fantastic story with amazing direction. Better then most "AAA" games today. Gameplay is simple and fun. Swing around and move fast. Uhhhh...Maplestory

I was looking for a roguelike game and somehow ended up here. I will never regret it, as this game is one of the best I have ever played. Absolutely stunning graphics for a 2D pixel game. Fast paced, challenging, but not impossible or frustrating gameplay, with a very interesting, sad, unexpected and deep storyline. A real gem. Just buy it, don't read the reviews, trust me, it's worth it.

Story driven platformer with charming pixel art and detail, and doesn't overstay its welcome. Swinging around feels really good once you get used to it.

Amazing story, great gameplay, artistic direction and soundtrack, just go for it.

Sick game play, sick soundtrack and the most beautiful pixel art I've ever seen Whats important is making it to the end

Platformers aren't usually my kind of games, but if there is ever one that i'd recommend, it's this one, it has a few frustrating parts, but those are very few compared to the amount of fun I've had, and the story is amazing, probably the best 13€ I've spent in my life.

This was a journey of a story, filled with challenges, fun interactions, and lots of heart, you just gotta find the answers and get to the end. It has a high likelihood of hitting the feelings, it did for me, and it's a game that already holds a dear spot in my heart. The gameplay itself takes a while to master, but once you do, well, there's a cutscene very early in the game where they show you what your character is capable of, and by the end you truly feel like the unstoppable machine they show you as. Don't forget you aren't one, okay?

One of the best games I've ever played. At the beginning of the game, the only issue I had was getting used to the gameplay mechanics, which were quite fast (skill issue). The graphics are beautiful, the story is cool, and the gameplay mechanics are unique. I just wish there was a final boss at the end, hehe.

I don't know... Cool story, but such boring gameplay...
