KeenGamer: "More than a platformer, an action title, and a metroidvania combined, a barbarian and their magical bat friend must use their combined powers to escape a massive cave dungeon. The first title from Unspeakable Pixels is an immense showcase of friendship and how lighting can be as important as a character."
Fanatical has launched another bundle called Platformania which offers 16 Steam Deck-compatible games for a low price.
Paul writes: "Batbarian: Testament of the Primordials goes a long way towards scratching a bit of a Metroidvania itch. It’s big, it’s sprawling and there’s a lot to see. With a little more attention to the combat and the jumping, this could well have been a bit of a genre-leading contender. As it is though, Barbarian is a good game, but not a great one."
"July was full of so many incredible indie games that my head is still spinning so it's time to shine the spotlight on the very best yet again." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
