Life Is Strange: Episode 3 - Chaos Theory is an amazing entry into the series, taking everything from the previous episodes and upping the emotional weight of each.
Life Is Strange: Episode 5 - Polarized is an amazing final entry to the game as a whole making the entire game more than worth the price of admission.
Life Is Strange - Episode 2: Out of Time surpasses the previous episode in the emotional and storytelling aspect. If this series gets any better, then we may a company on par with TellTale Games when it comes to this type of story based gameplay.
Life Is Strange: Episode 1 - Chrysalis has exceeded all expectations of a seemingly humble story like this. It takes an older concept and adds some freshness to it to make it seem new again.
"Amid the Ruins" is a quieter more thoughtful entry in The Walking Dead Season 2 putting it at a stark contrast to other entries in the episode. When they deaths and action come however, it is more impactful despite the player's lack of overall impact on some inevitable fates.
Bear With Me Episode One is a point and click detective story that has the potential to be one of the best games of the year.

Grow Home is a fantastically creative game that needs to be lauded as one of the best things that has come out of Ubisoft in years. It's warm, it's fun, it has some dark humor and it's just a wonderful ride for everyone.
Armello is a tabletop-style computer game that blends the two genres together in a near perfect mix.
Sym is a strange platforming puzzle game with heavy themes, a beautifully simplistic art style, and some keyboard snapping difficulty. While not all of the difficult moments in this game are warranted, it still provides a rewarding experience in this dark disturbing world of Sym.
Sunset does have some shortcomings in the terms of the story, but it is a game that should be played at least once by those who truly love playing games that, despite their small scope, have a narrative so delightfully weaved that it sucks you in and never lets you out again.
Pillars of Eternity is a fantastic game with a straight forward story and engaging characters, but its problems lie in the fact that it is so determined to root itself in the past.
Monstrum is a game that is built around its environment, and monsters entirely dictating what experience you will have.
Tormentum - Dark Sorrow is a dark point and click adventure game with an art style inspired by Giger and a story that seems to come straight from the mind of a twisted philosopher.
Dead Synchronicity is a truly brutal experience from start to finish, making the player question humanity, morals and the fabric of space and time itself.
Higurashi When They Cry - Ch.1 Onikakushi is a great update to an already engaging first entry into the world of Hinamizawa. While it does seem dated in a few areas, it still holds up fairly well to the standards of visual novels of today.
0RBITALIS is a fun game, one that you can lose yourself in a while but never quite get completely lost in. It can be fun, but it can also be frustrating because of its shortcomings.
