Ken Follett and Daedalic managed to make a game revolving politics and religion incredibly compelling and fun. Fans of the book and fans of a good story should seriously consider entering the world of Knightsbridge on home consoles.
Conga Master gets a lot of credit from me for being unlike anything else on the market. It's colorful, embraces its art style and has incredible music. It's also very repetitive and the fact you can't level select just kills it for me.
Jump, Step, Step is good for a quick distraction every now and again, but not much more.
Vostok Inc. is an incredible blend of twin-stick shooter and oddly enough…clicker style game.
Iron Crypticle is the perfect example of a game whose whole is worth more than the sum of its parts.
With 4-player support and a variety of modes both traditional and unique, Crazy Strike Bowling EX is a blast.
I've told everyone who has asked me that Poi completely hooked me over the span of almost 13 hours. I earned all 100 medals, found all 50 golden gears, photographed every animal, found every costume, beat every mini-game, challenge AND more. It's incredibly addicting and rewarding to do all these things and the variety in the tasks kept it fresh.
Overall it may look like a typical shmup, but Ghost Blade HD is an exceptional shooter that holds its own against genre heavyweights.
Overall for a budget price you are getting a family friendly game that adults and kids could find themselves addicted to.
42 does an amazing job of creating a big world that doesn't feel overwhelming, it just needs a little more polish with the gunplay.
NBA Playgrounds is the definition of a game that's a mixed bag.
I would only suggest The Forgotten Land DLC to those gamers who loved Zheros. It provides a fair value in terms of the new levels, a new character and some extra Gamerscore. If you have kids that are still playing it or just getting into Zheros(or yourself), then this DLC is a no brainer at $4.99. I've certainly seen more expensive DLC offer less content in other games.
Butcher is the type of game that really checks all the boxes for quality. The action is fast and fun, all to a heart pumping soundtrack and powerful sound effects. The controls are second nature and intuitive, with only a few important buttons to remember. It has its own distinct art style that I find uniquely beautiful.
Prey is a divisive game that many will adore while others will be quick to bash. Prey is not a shooting game with fast paced action, a bevy of guns and bullet sponge enemies. It's a slow burn, one that rewards thoroughness and efficiency.
Gamers who have a genuine interest in police shows, movies and/or books will find a lot to love about this simulator. Those looking for more of a quick fix thriller might want to keep investigating.
As it stands, I can't say enough good things about Talent Not Included, platformer fans will be treated to a two-of-a-kind show!
As it stands, SkyKeepers is a good action platform game that has laid a solid foundation for (hopefully) future installments.
Anyone looking for a fun challenge should not be afraid to show some love to Dr. H8.
I give 2Dark a lot of credit for creating a challenging stealth game with a unique look and compelling story. I always looked forward to playing in a new environment and the creative ways to take down the bad guys.
Chime Sharp is a very hard game to recommend to anybody who isn't a hardcore puzzle fan. If you are unfamiliar with the series, then you might find yourself quickly confused and frustrated. Players who "get it" will have a bevy of songs and modes to unlock for quite a long time. Anyone looking for a more laid back and casual experience should sharpen their senses elsewhere.
