ReCore has potential to be a fun and memorable video game experience, but its ridiculously long load times hamper your time with it. If you are inpatient or don't like wasting time, you should probably pass on this one or wait for a patch.
The Turing Test is a great first person puzzler with an intriguing sci-fi inspired narrative. Its gameplay is a bit repetitive early on and the ending is a bit too open ended for my tastes, but overall it's a solid FPP worth experiencing for just $20.
Telltale's first Batman episode is a gem and offers up a great narrative for the characters of Bruce Wayne and the Batman, but a few technical miscues such as poor framerate performance and stiff character animations keep it from being a perfect experience.
Even with its short length, ABZU stands out as an amazing video game that is not so much a game in the traditional sense, but more of an experience that will affect us all in different ways. Like Journey before it, this game proves that the medium we all know and love is just as much of an art form as writing a book, painting a picture, or filming a movie. In fact, it may even provide an even more personal connection to someone than these other art forms, because it can be interacted with to formulate a unique experience for everyone that plays it.
I Am Setsuna does pay off on its promises to hearken back to the old days of JRPGs, but it gets a bit too old school for its own good.
