Their previous game, Coloring Pixels, gets my laptop all heated up every once in a while. It's also extremely slow to load and to exit. I think they're just not great at optimization.

Secret Agent HD is a remaster of a game from 1991 that's well worth checking out. It's a puzzle platformer with 64 fairly short levels split across four episodes. I remembered the first episode fondly from playing it as a kid, and everything else is just as good. Plan on spending about 5 hours on this one.

The original Aragami was all about stealth. If an enemy spotted you, you might be able to run away, but trying to fight them was pretty much guaranteed to be a losing proposition. That made it kinda niche and frustrating for everyone else, so they tried to bring in more combat in the sequel. I'm not surprised that they missed a little bit, but I'm also not sure what else they could've done to not just make the sequel more of the same.
