Up to Par
Developer – It’s Anecdotal
Publisher – It’s Anecdotal

About
Up To Par is a run based rogue-lite mini golf game. This might sound like a mouthful but it is more simple than you think.
Simple controls and a simple rule, each hole you have 3 shots to make it in. Make it in less, you can save the extra shots and unlock extra abilities along the way. Run out of shots and its game over.
It will get harder, and it will test the player to the limit.
Thoughts
We love a mini-golf game. It is 2.5D, so has that isometric feel and always has that just one more go feel. Each run through doesn’t give you the same levels so each attempt and the abilities we only reached the first few.
World Championship Boxing Manager 2
Developer – Mega Cat Studios
Publisher – Ziggurat
Steam Link – https://store.steampowered.com/app/1903970/World_Championship_Boxing_Manager_2/
About
The boxing world is at your feet in this entertaining management simulation. Enlist boxers, recruit staff and build your gym to be the best.
Boxing bouts feel like “punch club”, you don’t fight but you direct how the boxer tackles it. Strategies and building the future Rocky is key.
Thoughts
Having spent a couple of hours in the demo exploring it – it is one for the management fans/ boxing fans. It’s a little more niche and the game needs a little longer in the oven to get it complete – but we love it.
We have high hopes for this one and will be wish listing this.
More to Come. Make sure to check out some of the Demos in the Steam Next Fest.
