Let Them Come sticks to its guns (har-har) with solid gameplay that doesn't stray from what it does best. While the campaign itself doesn't take very long the run through, new game plus and challenge mode add replay value.
The Town of Light is the type of game that is going to make you think.
There are many qualities that separate Assault Android Cactus from other games in the genre.
Those who are interested will find a relatively easy gamerscore completion, with most achievements tied to dying in a specific way or simply beating the levels in any form. Sometimes two is better than one, that certainly holds true when it comes to Lilith-M.
There isn't much reason to revisit the Last Harbour Family Hotel, but I enjoyed my stay.
Despite its length, the journey in AER: Memories of Old is highly enjoyable and easy to recommend to all fans of adventure games. Kudos to publisher Daedalic Entertainment for releasing another gorgeous game that joins Silence and Pillars of the Earth on my hidden gems list.
The Evil Within 2 is up there with some of my favorite games of 2017, an absolute must play for anyone who liked Resident Evil 4 or Dead Space. Now can we get a sequel to Shadows of the Damned already, Shinji?
Cuphead is a true masterpiece that every serious gamer should at least try. It's the most stylish and unique 2D action game since Viewtiful Joe.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar does so many things right, and is an enjoyable experience throughout.
Bulb Boy managed to hit the perfect combination of linearity, instinctiveness and charm.
As far as vertical shmups go, Battle Garegga Rev.2016 is exceptional.
Bloody Zombies is the type of game that I feel has so much going for it, but needs some more gameplay tweaks.
I could go on forever about Warhammer: End Times Vermintide, it really hooked me.
I see most gamers enjoying Maize, but very few returning to the cornfield for another trip around the farm.
If you are looking for a laid-back game about robotic heroes and space exploration, then Jettomero: Hero of the Universe is for you.
X-morph Defense is the total package, one I had no clue I wanted but now wonder how I ever lived without.
It is an experience that I enjoyed thoroughly, but it's very short and there is not much replay value. It has vibrant art style, controls well, has good pace and a great price.
It's akin to a popcorn movie; sure there might not be much depth, but what's there is pure fun.
In the end, Feral Fury joins Quest of Dungeons as one of my favorite dungeon crawlers on the Xbox One.
When it comes to authenticity and racing fun, Formula 1 2017 is the total package.
