I greatly enjoyed the two or so hours it took me to play through Pony Island. This is a game that delights in toying with your expectations and in breaking the fourth wall, in revealing its sinister yet playful world, and in building up a compelling antagonist and telling an ambiguous story. Pony Island is about as punk rock as they come.
Expand is a triumph of visual design and scoring that also boasts some clever design ideas.
Assault Android Cactus is an intense twin-stick shooter that's been polished to within an inch of its life.
Dishonored Definitive Edition doesn't live up to its name, but the core game and its DLC are still stylish and fun.
An inspired rhythm-action roguelike powered by an excellent soundtrack. You'll dig it.
A superbly crafted and challenging technical skating game.
Fans of Deadly Premonition will love this bizarre, offbeat murder mystery.
A vibrant and delightful playground that will surprise you at every turn.
Octodad revels in its brand of absurdist physical comedy, but also tells a touching tale.
A wildly inventive 2D Roguelike with a 30-second gameplay loop that lasts for 20 odd hours.
Okami is one of the finest games to come out of Japan in the last decade, and Okami HD is absolutely the best way to experience this epic adventure. Its re-release is rather timely too, given Japanese game publishers are currently preoccupied with creating games that will appeal in the West. Okami, in contrast, represents a pure, resolutely Japanese vision, and is all the more appealing for it.
