Loco Motive is charming at times, but the constant scars of its nature as the studio's first game prevent the experience from realizing its full potential. With a little more polish and a better balance between tragedy and comedy, Robust Games could have made something truly special, but they ended up with something frustratingly far from the finish line.

Wilmot Works It Out brings wit and finesse to the little world of its protagonist, previously confined to a warehouse brimming with all the cynicism of the modern world. In a way, it ends up being a treaty about looking for the balance between leisure and work, and it asks us, as square as we are, not to lose sight of what makes us happy. It's a good reminder - and an even better game.

Potionomics: Masterwork Edition is a well-deserved update to a game that's much deeper than it seems, with incredible internal cohesion despite how much it tries to do. Don't underestimate its difficulty because of its cute face — I know because I ended up doing it and ended up getting screwed over later.

The Plucky Squire may have some execution issues, but it certainly delivers a fun, likable adventure full of love for the artists and craftsmen of our world. It's an excellent debut from James Turner as director and lead artist, showing off his full potential as a storyteller and making a solid case for the concept of video games as art. A sequel or DLC that once again explores the Kingdom of Mana would certainly be very welcome.

Dustborn is a good story, with good characters, but it completely lost its way trying to be more than it needed to be. Its best ideas end up being buried in a torrent of poorly developed elements that, at the same time, take up too much of the story's time. It would have been a perfect Life Is Strange-style game, if it didn't want to prove its own existence to people who will never be interested.

Though it makes a few mistakes, Tavern Talk is a success as a bar simulator and as an RPG. The game uses the best of both genres for the sake of a unique narrative granting its place alongside its biggest inspirations. I definitely won't forget Fable, Caerlin, Rhea, Kyle and the others so soon.
