What first appeared to be a simple game, One Finger Death Punch 2 had a surprising amount of depth and challenge to it.
When a group gets together it is always nice to have choices that are accessible to all players. Carnage Tower is one of those games. You likely won’t see me spending dozens of hours trying to tackle the 100 floor gauntlet, nor will it be at the top of my favorite games of 2019. What it will be, however, is a game that may get attention when novice gamers and I want to get our hands on something simple and fun.
At such a low price there is absolutely no reason for fans of platformers and all things retro to not take the plunge. Achievement hunters can earn a healthy chunk of gamerscore within a few hours as well. I, for one, wouldn’t mind seeing where Elena Temple’s next adventure takes me
Solo: Islands of the Heart made me think about things that no game ever has before. In the end, I think that was Team Gotham’s goal all along.
Hands down, Farm Together is the most immersive, enjoyable and accessible farming game that I’ve ever played. Everyone I know loves this game, I cannot recommend it enough.
Is it a fun racing experience? Absolutely. Are there a bevvy of options to choose from? Yes! Maybe I set my expectations a bit too high or wished that there would be something new and exciting to set Monster Energy 2 apart. Nevertheless, it is still the definitive supercross racing experience on consoles. Anyone still helmets-deep into Monster Supercross 1 might feel content holding off on a day one purchase, everyone else should have no hesitations stepping into the arena.
At Sundown: Shots in the Dark is a well-presented shooter that shines best as a party game.
With NBA Jam On-Fire Edition being horribly outdated and the original Playgrounds recently delisted, NBA 2K Playgrounds 2 is the go-to-choice for arcade NBA basketball by default.

Gene Rain is the typical game that looks great in the trailer but leaves you feeling dissatisfied and somewhat cheated after playing it.
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is not a perfect game, but instead provides gigantic steps in the right direction for potential sequels.

I loved how Rento Fortune didn't try to overly produce the game with pomp and circumstance. It's a basic board game that kept my interest and attention. My only concern with recommending it for a party game is that the UI might give novice gamers some trouble.
Forgotton Anne has more story than many games three times the price. It's a journey worth taking and a name worth remembering.
Death Road to Canada is easy to recommend to gamers who enjoy various genres. Kudos to developers Rocketcat Games and Madgarden for blending action, survival, adventure, narrative and even light RPG mechanics beautifully into a single game.
I can't help but feel disappointed in City of Brass.
I would suggest keeping your expectations low and your mind open when trying out Korgan.
DragoDino is a mostly solid platforming experience that was most enjoyable in short bursts, ala one level a night.
The amount of longevity one will get from Bombslinger depends on two factors: your skill level and access to local co-op players.
I can't recommend MX vs ATV at any cost, instead put that money towards MXGP 3 or save for the upcoming MXGPro.
