The Sexy Brutale is a fantastic game that combines style and unique mechanics to amazing effect. I truly hope to see more games like this in the future.
Owlboy is a phenomenal adventure that succeeds in telling a captivating story with interesting characters and enjoyable gameplay. You should give it a try.
Thimbleweed Park is an excellent experience made by masters of their craft. Every speck of it drips with quality and care.
A moving and earnest independent adventure game. My favorite thing I've played all year.
Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is everything I want in a Yakuza game, plus a baby… and a cat café.
God of War was a big deal when it hit PS4 in 2018, and it still is in 2022 when it hits the PC.
Good addition to an already good game, just don't expect any real change ups to what came before.
Nioh slips onto the PC and is as great as it was on the PS4, with DLC and some minor control issues.
It's fast and fun; satisfying and elegant. You won't want to put Dead Cells away.
Tropico 6 is the realization of what I've wanted from this series for years now.
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.
Resident Evil 3 joins its forbearer as another top notch remake. I'm happy to see what Capcom has been doing with the series and wonder where they'll take it next.
Wasteland 3 is a lovely return to the post nuclear apocalypse with fun gameplay and interesting choices at its forefront, though at times it can be a bit clumsy in its implementation.
Hacknet: Labyrinths does everything the base game only better and harder. There are new tools and more story to look forward too, but it ends up just being more Hacknet, not that that's a bad thing.
Guacamelee 2 is a gorgeous, fun game with a sense of humor that makes me want to cry.
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.
Whispers of a Machine is a puzzling enigma, a fascinating story, and a bit of an ugly beast, but well worth your time.
Code Vein is some fun anime nonsense is a slickly designed package with some minor failings.
While not as pretty as it’s PS4 older brother, Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom Prince’s Edition is a delightful experience all around. All the additional DLC is just a welcome bonus.
People will call Donut County an indie darling, and those people will be right.
