Ship of Fools is a beautiful looking roguelike co-op title that while doable solo, really thrives with a friend.
Evil West is a throwback to the classic melee brawlers that includes a hysterical storyline, great dialogue and a variety in combat similar to God/Gears of War. A game that does everything it does do well and uses its strengths to set itself apart.
Police Simulator Patrol Officers portrays a solid foundation of a police officer’s career along with the ability to improve. While there are a large amount of options and crimes available to us for investigation, those which are absent along with some buggy features detract from would could be an extremely complete representation
A Plague Tale: Requiem is not just a game. It is a must play, flawless experience which teaches you how to better one’s own life with self-introspection through the eyes of a child.
Graphics, controls, camera and gameplay unfortunately became a quick time sink port after a successful PC release several years ago. Nostalgia alone could not redeem Road Redemption on Android.
The voice acting in Unusual Findings is incredibly well done and by far the best part of the game
Asterigos: Curse of the Stars truly shines as one of the best games in its class.
Steelrising sets itself apart from the Souls-likes by doing what Spiders does best, adding its own unique elements while preserving what is best about the genre.

Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus? does an efficient job of blending the good and bad aspects of FMV video games. Witty dialogue, off the cuff humor and a variety of choices allow it to flow right in its wheel house
Tails of Iron is an RPG throwback to the classic, old school combat and strategy style seldom used that often anymore. Combined with the 2D hand-drawn environments and strategy that it employs, Tails of Iron is a welcome addition that fans of the RPG genre and newcomers alike will enjoy

Battle Chasers: Nightwar is a true RPG that all fans of the genre will appreciate.
If you’re into checking out new and unusual takes on games, then Cuphead is for you. I’d temper your enthusiasm, however, as that’s where the uniqueness ends. It’s an average, 2D hand-drawn game that it seems people are expecting way too much of.
Life is Strange: Before the Storm offers us the chance to use trust and love as our cloak and dagger.
Keeps the nostalgic feel to the game type we're familiar with while adding its own flair to it.
The beauty of Ghost Recon: Wildlands is that it is 2 games in one. Co-op is more stealth based while solo play focuses on more of an action based shooter due to the lack of orders you can provide your AI teammates. The only downfall is that neither of these two setups fully take advantage of their premise
For Honor is an incredibly competitive multiplayer game and one of the best action titles in years.
Dead Rising 4 took all the best parts of its predecessors and added a more sandbox type, open world exploration that is encouraged and expands on its story.
