Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5 fails to recapture the magic of the first four games.
Slain is a gorgeous spectacle that's a total drag to play.
Don’t Open the Doors! is a game with soul. People cared about this game, but the gameplay just isn’t there.
Sword Art Online: Lost Song has plenty of great ideas, but it definitely doesn't do enough to make them work in a 20-hour game.
The Way is a thought-provoking tale about life and death, but its lackluster gameplay continually frustrates.
Shardlight is a solid old-school adventure game with an overly familiar premise.
I commend ACE Team for trying to come up with something that's authentic and clever. But the developer only got The Deadly Tower of Monsters halfway right. The excellent premise and likeable characters outshine the streamlined gameplay. ACE Team has something promising here, but it needs to nail the mechanics next time.
Kokurase is a text-heavy, visually sparse little adventure with some frustrating issues, yet some people will undoubtedly find something to love here.
RymdResa best shows what life is like for an astronaut — it's relaxing, and pretty boring. If you're looking to cool off and avoid bombastic affairs, RymdResa is the perfect game to play. Other than that, well, if you're fan of astronomy, I guess you'll have plenty to take away from it. But ultimately, RymdResa is a gorgeous roguelike that has a significant amount of untapped potential that could lead to a much better game to play. For now, you'll have to make do with passively exploring space and not much else.
Let It Die is an ambitious game that threatens to charm players, but ultimately falls short due to unpolished gameplay, repetitious level design, and some really awful freemium schemes.
Deathstate is a familiar but fun roguelike.
Stranger of Sword City is a solid dungeon Japanese role-playing game devoid of any surprises.
Deponia Doomsday is beautiful, fun, crude, and stupid.
In Too Deep is yet another solid addition to Telltale's growing portfolio.
While Rubble Without A Case is still a good time, it lacks the variety and excellent pacing of King's Quest's first chapter.
Rememoried is a visual feast with some clever puzzles, but there's a much better game waiting to be made.
The Final Station is a 2D side-scrolling zombie survival game with enough challenging combat to offset its predictable pace.
This Is the Police is an enjoyable but flawed management sim that gives you a taste of what it's like to be the chief of police.
Your entertainment will come from planning deadly attacks in outlandish scenarios and environments. There's enjoyment to be had with Party Hard's dozen or so levels, despite the game's lack of imagination in its later stages.
Valkyria Revolution's story falters while its different, action-oriented combat shines brightly.
