Don't spend the $20 asking price, but consider it for a weekend jaunt if you can get a sale price on a four-pack.
The Wii U unexpectedly gets one of the best games of the year. Buy it.
If you can tolerate the aging hardware, pick it up to experience a flawed but interesting footnote on Black Flag's tested formula.

A fun multiplayer distraction with a twist, if you've got the patience for some lackluster modes. Try it.
Avoid it until and unless they patch in a satisfying conclusion.
Until Dawn is entertaining in all the ways it needs to be, even if it isn't perfect in all the ways I'd like it to be. Try it, or wait for a discount.
Maiden of Black Water polishes an old formula almost perfectly, though the game itself isn't so polished in spots. Buy it anyway.
Life is Strange makes some odd design choices, but its ability to make your choices feel important to its strong leading protagonists more than makes up for it. Buy it.

Unravel wastes little time and offers a lot of satisfaction. Buy it.
Far Cry Primal is video game aspirin—numbing and nondescript but basically pleasant. Try it.

This sequel plays with expectations while trying to exceed them. Buy it.
