Call of Cthulhu
After playing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth over 10 years ago, I have been patiently waiting for another game in the H.P. Lovecraft universe and none have come. Call of Cthulhu has been a long game in the making, but does the long production cycle pay off

We Happy Few
We Happy Few is a stealth action game in vain of BioShock. The premise is actually really interesting and fresh. The game takes place post-World War II in which the N*azis won the war and took over Britain. The citizens must take a drug call Joy that makes them see

Call of Duty: Black Ops III
Man, where do I begin? Call of Duty was one of my favorite franchises growing up, and Modern Warfare helped kickstart FPS games into a new cinematic next-generation universe. That Pripyat level in the first Modern Warfare still sticks with me to this day. After MW2 the series took a

Toren
I absolutely love short games that tell beautiful stories. A game that really doesn’t have much gameplay, but just enough to get the story and help you feel for the characters. Toren is one of those game, it has so much potential, but is extremely rough around the edges. There’s

Murdered: Soul Suspect
I haven’t been so misled by a game than Murdered. A murder mystery game about a cult in Salem, Massachusetts (my favorite type of murder mysteries) all wrapped around a serial killer known as the Bell Killer. You play as a ghost detective named Ronan who gets murdered by this

BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea - Episode Two
The long-awaited Infinite expansion set in Rapture is out and about. I honestly didn’t know what to really expect from this other than more questions and fan service of Rapture. The story started out very similarly to BioShock 1 where you are riding down the bathysphere into Rapture. It brought

Blades of Time
X Blades was a pretty bad game when it came out with combat that wasn’t fun, a lame story, bad graphics, and just all around bad. The sequel is much better but still isn’t great. Ayumi is back trying to find some sort of Dragon Sphere in Dragon Land but

Martha is Dead
Adventure games that both have shock value and a good story are rare and hard to come by, sadly, Martha is Dead is not one of those. You would mistakenly think this is some sort of horror game with monsters and demons, but it's barely even that. This is a

The Alien Cube
I absolutely love Lovecraftian horror. There's something about it that's so incredibly mysterious and still leaves it that way after the story is told. There isn't much in terms of monsters or jump scares, but mostly just really weird imagery, atmosphere, and psychological effects on characters. The Alien Cube nails

Kentucky Route Zero
I love adventure games, especially ones that do something interesting or unique for the genre. Mostly I love adventure games with fantastical stories and great characters. Graphics usually comes last with these kinds of games. Kentucky Route Zero does have an interesting art style and is signature for Annapurna, but

The Sinking City
I love Lovecraftian horror, but video games have really struggled to bring these mythos to life. Most of the games get the atmosphere and monster design down, but can't nail a good gameplay loop or decent story. By far the best game for this is still Call of Cthulhu: Dark

Shadow Warrior 3
Shadow Warrior has been a series that's just all over the place. The first game in this new reboot was really great. Well-balanced weapons, enemies, and great visuals. The second game took a nose-dive adding too much to the game and Shadow Warrior 3 strips it too far back. Flying

Shadow Warrior 2
The first Shadow Warrior was a lot of mindless fun that brought back the craziness of the original DOS game. It did a good job throwing great visuals, crazy monster designs, cool weapons, and that fast-paced feeling of classic FPS action. Shadow Warrior 2 really sets the series back by

Bright Memory: Infinite
Bright Memory was an impressive tech demo that was in Steam Early Access a couple of years ago. It had a scantily clad female protagonist (which doesn't do anything for the game honestly) and a mix of sword and gunplay in the first person which felt fast-paced and punchy. Infinite

Ikai
I absolutely love Japanese survival horror games. Even the worst ones usually nail the atmosphere and scare factor and this goes all the way back to the PS1 era which is where they pretty much became mainstream. From the best ones like Silent Hill 3 to some of the worst

Cruis'n Blast
Arcade racing games of the 90s are long gone, but many got ported to home consoles and became living room favorites. Cruis'n USA comes to mind for the Nintendo 64. It was a thrilling fast-paced arcade game with great visuals and tracks. Cruis'n Blast emulates this perfectly but lacks content

Sonic Colors: Ultimate
Oh man, where do I start. I'm not the biggest 3D Sonic fan and never have been. I didn't care for Sonic Adventure even when I was a kid. My hot take here is that Sonic Adventure is awful and not a good game. Sonic Team seems to be the

The Callisto Protocol
Dead Space was one of the last original IPs to really push the horror genre forward. I felt it was the only horror game to take Resident Evil 4's torch and carry it along. The Callisto Protocol received a ton of hype because Dead Space's co-creator Glen Schofield was leading

Save Room
Did you ever play Resident Evil 4 and want to just organize that inventory? It's kind of satisfying getting all your items in the right spot, so someone thought that should be its own puzzle game. In Save Room, you organize weapons, health, and other items ripped straight from the

Layers of Fear
Bloober Team seems to really love their Layers of Fear series because they thought it was big and important enough to remake both games and tie them into each other with a third overarching story. If either game was confusing enough, nothing is cleared up in the story, and it
