Code Vein is some fun anime nonsense is a slickly designed package with some minor failings.
A survival game that feels like a puzzle and plays a bit awkwardly. Overall, a brain-burning but enjoyable experience.
Observation is a thought provoking, eerie space drama with dubious computers, failing equipment, and very threatening geometry. Don't let it get away from you.
Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark desperately wants to recreate the experience of a tactical RPG and it does so with a few added flourishes.
Whispers of a Machine is a puzzling enigma, a fascinating story, and a bit of an ugly beast, but well worth your time.
Anno 1800 is a great, deep city builder that doesn't care if you know how to play it or not.
Hypnospace Outlaw's 90's tinted internet exploration is spot on, but may be too specific for players who were not around to experience that particular time.
Tropico 6 is the realization of what I've wanted from this series for years now.
Bannermen feels half baked and underfunded. It takes ideas from classics, but you're really better off playing those again.
While Different than past installments, Metro: Exodus is still worth a look
While not quite a homerun, Battlefleet Gothic: Armada 2 is a fun, tactical space combat experience with some nice story to boot.
Battletech Flashpoint isn't really a must own expansion, but it is certainly worth it for players looking for more.
The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep is not a perfect game by any respect. It's the first mainline sequel to a franchise that is over thirty years old, and this iteration certainly stumbles. However, what is here is a solid game with clever writing, strong characters, and a wonderful world of misfits and misadventures. The game needs patches, and an overall layer of polish, making it feel rushed and shoddy. If you're on the fence, give it some time to get its ducks in a row before you commit to a purchase.
Guacamelee 2 is a gorgeous, fun game with a sense of humor that makes me want to cry.
People will call Donut County an indie darling, and those people will be right.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider doesn't do a lot new. It has some big problems as far as story and themes are concerned, but it remains a fun experience at the end of the day. If you're already a fan of the series, you find more what you enjoyed before, but new players are better served in the previous entries.
It's fast and fun; satisfying and elegant. You won't want to put Dead Cells away.
Derivative, clumsily executed, but hauntingly beautiful. Crank the music and bathe in the scenery before you start talking to people.
While Extinction is technically a game, I'm pretty sure it's an April Fool's prank gone too far.
It's got style, it's got grace, it's going to punch you in the face.
