Cassette Beasts
For an entire generation, Pokémon was the gateway into the world of gaming – accessible, engaging, and driven by an addictive gameplay loop that tapped into our hunter-gatherer instincts. Cassette Beasts is clearly inspired by Nintendo’s iconic series and, boy is that a good thing.
Control
Control is a rather difficult shooter that challenges both dexterity and orientation in the three-dimensional space of an office building maze. It’s developers literally tell you that it is a difficult game and was designed to be hard. Then why did Control receive an Izzy Mode Certificate? It did, because the creators made sure in their clever way that everyone would be able to complete the game, and such an attitude deserves all praise.
Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer is the best couch co-op I’ve had the pleasure to (co-)play, one of the best games that can be classified as “easy without crossing the threshold of childishness or boredom”, and the most underrated game I know.
Hogwarts Legacy
Even though Hogwarts Legacy doesn’t meet many of the standards I usually set for games with the Izzy Mode Certificate, by Merlin’s Beard! If this game doesn’t convince a n00b into gaming, may a centaur get this muggle, because I’m done!
Stardew Valley
This game is the holy grail of casual games. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, goodbye.
