If you haven't seen or heard of the game, the team behind it describes it in the following way – "Phantom Trigger is a Hardcore Neon Slasher with RPG and Roguelike elements." That's a whole lot of different genres to fit in one game if you ask us.
Until you've seen it, it's impossible to understand the scale at which a game like Cities: Skylines exists. Even starting a new city in a small area seems like an insurmountable task. The complexity of the controls and decisions at your behest seem unlearnable. But these things don't mean the game isn't a ton of fun.
Unless you absolutely hate golf games, you'll probably like it.
Obduction is fantastic for anyone looking to find that old Myst feel.
If you hate fun you probably won't like Steamworld Dig 2.
Zen has done a fantastic job of replicating the Pinball experience from a player's console, and providing the closest possible encounter to the real thing.
Gameplay changes, while a little jarring to past fans, seem overall to have been made for the better, and the game plays like a more cohesive experience than ever before.
Horizon: The Frozen Wilds DLC is everything a DLC expansion should be.
In the end, even the main premise of the game is stymied by poorly executed puzzles.
SteamWorld Heist has very few flaws, especially if a turn based robot strategy game is what you’re looking for.
In summary, it’s really hard and you’ll hate it but, like… you’ll hate it in a really good way.
The intricacies added to Rise and Fall bring out the best of Civ, especially to make it a much more thoughtful play through.
There's a difference between a good game and a fun game.
Flinthook is a roguelike platformer centered around a single object… a grappling hook.
In The Final Station, you're never quite entirely sure what is going on, but it also doesn't matter because you'll enjoy the ride.
The Adventure Pals is heavily influenced in both art style and humor by Adventure Time, and fans of the series will have no problem getting used to the slightly different aesthetic. Fortunately, it’s also a win for those who are not familiar with the series as its cute animations and repulsive dad jokes will leave you feeling solidly at home.
While not a fundamentally flawed game, Extinction does not provide the player with enough of a mechanism to reasonably progress through the game in an enjoyable manner.
Masters of Anima scratches the itch you may have for a Pikmin-style real time strategy game over and over again. Its unique art style and engaging characters are exactly what you want, but the gameplay leaves a little to be desired. If you are a fan of Pikmin or RTS games in general, we would recommend you pick it up!
Overall, Wizard of Legend is a solid purchase and we recommend it heartily. It’s fun, fast, and challenging all while having a wonderful soundtrack and (even if not unique) fantastic art style sure to please anyone looking for a retro-inspired game with fantastically tight controls.
We highly encourage anyone who is currently a VR user to pick up Pixel Ripped 1989 as soon as possible. It’s a solid experience and did something that few other virtual reality games have ever done to me – make me forget I’m in virtual reality. The gameplay is fun (even if a bit more difficult than you’d expect at times) and the concept is great. It’s a tad longer than most other VR games out there, and comes in at a very reasonable price.
