One of my favourite games from February 2026's Steam Next Fest.

The game oozes style with it's art, music and over the top shenanigans from the characters and this is just from the Demo. The best thing is the gameplay matches it.

It's very much an on rails (haha) score attacking dream that's similar to games like Tony Hawks Pro Skater and Dave Mirra's BMX games from back in the 2000 but with a twin stick twist.

While the main story levels were fun the game really shined in the trick park demo level they have where you've got a fairly big level with multiple paths to take and find collectables while also letting you freely trick to rack up the highest score possible.

I first discovered Advent NEON back at a Sonic Amateur Games Expo back in 2021 and followed it's progress since then. So glad I backed this game. It's 100% worth it.

I just finished the game in one sitting around 3.9 hours so here's my review.

Pros
+ Controlling Neon is smooth. Once you get the hang of 8 way dashing you can build up some nice speed
+ Combat is quick yet satisfying. It's smash bros attack inputs so I felt at home
+ Music is great! Banging tunes
+ Boss fights are interesting. Can be difficult when you're first figuring out their mechanics but then once things click you get to wreck them.
+ Levels each have unique gimmicks to them which keeps things fresh
+ Ranking system has me wanting to go back and max out all the levels
+ Dev loves puns and references and there's PLENTY in here to discover
+ Story. Originally I didn't really care for it too much but it's a fun twist on the genre mixes up the tropes and really gets going. By the end I loved it.

Cons - Nothing major. Only a few minor annoyances

- Area 2 has an auto run section that ups the difficulty significantly due to poor visibility. It's a big difficulty spike for just the one area but alot of people might get put off by this.
- Heat zones are a bit of a pain to deal as they remove your dash charges. Apparently there was a sign showing this but I missed it completely xD

Overall you won't go wrong with Advent Neon. It's the right blend of Sonic, Smash, Megaman, Freedom Planet, Spark, Celeste, Gunvolt and more. It's also got a demo so try it out and if you like it grab the full game.

I'm gonna learn to speedrun this.

I'm a massive fan of Megaman Battle Network and Berserk Boy so to see the two worlds effectively collide in an idle game is fantastic to me.

The demo consists of the first location with 6 places to fight through. The gameplay itself is ofc an idle game, you plop your B.I.T onto the battlefield of your choice and off they go exploring. During exploration they'll run into battles and automatically fight and give you EXP, there's also a chance at finding items to use in automating the game and potentially Eggs to unlock "programs" that'll give you battle chips so you can take on bosses! You'll also eventually unlock missions which are timed fights that'll give you a reward if you complete it.

You'll always be earning money from doing exploration / battles but also you can buy programs like a money bot that when shaken (not stirred) will give you some extra cash. As you improve your levels and items you can buy automation bots like an auto shaker and auto feeder for your programs to help the idle nature keep going.

Alongside the fighting there is the massive customisation home area. You can decorate it with plenty of items in a style that suits you. All entirely cosmetic but it's going to sit around your desktop so you want it to look cool.

All of this is packaged in a really cool looking UI that's looks like a PET and based on the idea of having a Tamogotchi or Digivice.

Overall it's not the deepest idle game but it oozes charm. A nifty little idle game that's pretty fun to keep at the bottom of my screen and I'm excited to dive into the full release! Definitely recommend checking it out.

Disclaimer. I received this game for free.

TL:DR - Berserk Boy is phenomenal. If you like 2D retro style platformers this is a must play!

+ Gameplay is really smooth and responsive especially on controller.
+ Takes influence from classics like Megaman Zero and Sonic but adds it's own flare to it. Especially with some nice quality of life changes.
+ There's a number of different forms available all with their own abilities and styles. Some are good for movement while others focus on packing a punch.
+ Retro mode for folks who want a bit of a classic challenge with a lives system and harder enemies (Big Kudos too for telling folks up front there's no achievements tied to that mode)
+ The pixel artwork is gorgeous to look at. Really detailed and vibrant with each level adding more to it.
+ The SOUNDTRACK is epic! Tee Lopes knocks it out of the park again. Each set of levels has their own theme and variations on that theme within the levels themselves. Some retro style but not chiptune. It just rocks.

~ There's a moment in the game that I'm unsure about yet. Will update once I'm passed it and thought about it some more.
~ The story is there? Not bad, just nothing special. But I don't play these games for the story. The gameplay is where this game shines!

No negatives so far!

Spark the Electric Jester 2 is a fast paced 3D platformer that's really smooth to play and well worth it's price.

Pros
+ Really smooth controls that a responsive even at high speeds
+ Large expansive levels with more than one way to complete them
+ Great Soundtrack
+ Great for speedrunning!

Cons
+ Game options are set per save file (an annoyance if you are a speedrunner like me)

Sonic Mania strikes a great balance between nostalgia and bringing something new to the 2D Sonic formula. The drop dash is a fanstatic new addition that makes going fast and staying fast smoother while still retaining that classic sonic control scheme and feeling.

The sprite work, level backgrounds and music are all top notch and I'm heavily hoping that we get a Sonic Mania 2 or something very similar.
