Discounty is a game that feels both new and old at the same time. It has the comfort of a cozy routine built around a clear daily loop. Still, it also has enough variety through town interactions, story reveals, and shop upgrades to keep you interested for dozens of hours. It pays a lot of attention to the details in both the visuals and the sound design, which is something that smaller management sims don't usually do.
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War – Definitive Edition is exactly what it sounds like: the original game and all of its expansions, but with better graphics and performance. The core RTS gameplay was already great, and this package keeps it that way while making it easier to see, bigger, and more comfortable to control on modern systems.
Heretic + Hexen is more than just a trip down memory lane; it's a careful preservation of two cult classics that helped shape the fantasy FPS subgenre. The changes Nightdive made keep the original's spirit while making it easier for people today to understand. The class-switching in Hexen, the options for making puzzles easier, the ability to play with people on different platforms, and the weapon rebalance all seem like things that the 90s versions needed.
The magic of the Mafia comes back in Mafia: The Old Country when you drive a classic car down a dusty road at sunset or make plans in a villa's back room by candlelight. It may not change the franchise, but it knows what made it great in the first place.
Dear Me, I Was is a stunning example of visual storytelling. I was trying to say something profound, but it doesn't stick around long enough for it to make an impact. Yes, it's moving and beautiful. But it seems like the start of something, not the end.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound has one of the most heart-pounding soundtracks we've heard in a long time. It's a mix of old-school synth melodies and modern metal fusion. Imagine if Castlevania and Nier: Automata had a baby with a Yamaha synth and an electric guitar. Every song fits its level perfectly, pushing you forward with a fast tempo and strong emotions.
Fast, brutal, emotional—The Drifter is the point-and-click game you didn't know you were waiting for—one of the best narrative adventures in years.
People remember The Lord of the Rings for its epic scale, but at its heart, it's a story about home. About why it's worth fighting for. About friendship, gardens, laughter, and peace. Tales of the Shire is the best Middle-earth game at understanding this.
Killing Floor 3 isn't perfect. The optimization needs some work. For a full-priced game, there aren't enough weapons. And yes, even if it's just for looks (for now), having a cash shop in a paid game still leaves a bad taste. Even with these problems, Killing Floor 3 is one of the few modern games that is fun.
Fretless - The Wrath of Riffson doesn't just play a song. It's asking you to help write it, one note and one fight at a time. This is a genre-bending tour de force that combines rhythm and RPG in a way that is genuinely new and unforgettable. Fretless will make you feel like a rock god if you love music and know how to plan.
Len's Island remains a fun sandbox that rewards creativity and hard work, although it lacks a gripping story and can become repetitive over time. It's great for playing alone and even better with friends. It could become a modern indie classic in the survival genre if it gets more updates or modding support.
Antro makes you move and think to the beat, whether you're dancing through a burning hallway, tagging graffiti in a rebel hideout, or sneaking past deadly drones in the dark. It has great beats and a beautiful look that will keep you playing.
