    Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials. A metroidvania with a strong emphasis on puzzle-solving, but other elements of the genre are not left behind: there’s hair-pulling platforming sections, and boss fights that’ll leave you bald.

    The particularity of this game lies in Pip, our light-emitting bat companion. We don’t control her directly, but we can influence her behavior by throwing different types of fruits. And it’s with her light and the throwing ability that we’ll solve most puzzles.

    It’s honestly a tough game, especially in its second half if you go for completion (I have two left hands, and have shed tears of blood…), but there’s plenty of accessibility options like slowing time when throwing a fruit or multiplying your attack, that’ll let you tweak your experience to match with your ability level.

    Besides, It’s a genuinely well written comedic game with good world-building, and it has a killer soundtrack with a distinctive 80s flair 😊
