Ruiner's cyberpunk carnage and soundtrack evoke Hotline Miami, even if the gameplay doesn't quite measure up. It's a spectacle, but it's over too soon.
Strafe isn't bad, but there are many better ways to satiate your nostalgia for '90s FPS titles.
The Surge is occasionally electrifying, but combat issues and cheap enemies dampen enjoyment levels.
Dawn of War III is a Storm Shield-solid title carrying a few minor irritations. It can't possibly leave the blast crater its predecessors did, but it's still an absorbing, invigorating, chaotic RTS with the firepower to impress.

Monster Hunt 4 Ultimate is easier to get into than its ancestors, but is just as entertaining.
