GRIP: Combat Racing is a love letter game to a lot of other titles. There's some Mario Kart in here, there's some Blur, there's some Redout... honestly there's a lot of mix and match mechanics in GRIP, but at the same time it's still it's own entity. It's got some fun gravity shenanigans, the visuals are pretty great, the music goes extremely hard, and it's overall pretty fun!
Skeletris is a surprisingly fun little dungeon crawler with a very specific mechanic: all of your equipment and ability boosts are either items or tetris-adjacent shapes that you have to fix in a grid. The combat is a grid-base rhythm setup that's easy to get and doesn't get in the way. There is also a bit of the story, but it's tertiary to the mechanics. A fun little game, I wonder how much more there was to it.
Vision Soft Reset is a metroidvania where the twist is that you're a time-travelling robot on a timer. Each run can only be 20 minutes. It's very Outer Wilds, in that the upgrades that you pick up (knowledge) stays with the robot, but physical upgrades don't make it back through time. That means if you pick something up, but have to go back in time to a save prior to getting the upgrade: It's gone. It's a very interesting mechanic, but the time travel can get frustrating. You can use time travel to avoid death, but if you don't catch it in time, you're thrown back to your last save which can be... very far back in the timeline. Overall a very interesting game and mechanic, but I question some of the execution.
