SteamWorld Quest is a marvel in its own right, and a victory in a genre full of eternally popular bestsellers and beloved franchises.
In summary, it’s really hard and you’ll hate it but, like… you’ll hate it in a really good way.
Horizon: The Frozen Wilds DLC is everything a DLC expansion should be.
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.
If you hate fun you probably won't like Steamworld Dig 2.
The intricacies added to Rise and Fall bring out the best of Civ, especially to make it a much more thoughtful play through.
Gato Roboto is an absolutely great game. That doesn’t mean it’s without flaws, but the few that are present are easily overshadowed by the brilliant pixel art, often refreshing humor, and fun gameplay. Even stages that are often the downfall of a Metroidvania such as a water level or chase sequence are done incredibly well.
In a time where nearly every game demands your full attention, Ghostrunner actually deserves it.
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.
SteamWorld Heist has very few flaws, especially if a turn based robot strategy game is what you’re looking for.
Throwing an enemy against a wall will decimate them. And decimating an enemy has never felt so good as it does in Ape Out.
The art style is immaculate and beautiful in nearly every way, giving testament to the creators’ vision of a world that is alive and breathing.
My Friend Pedro will take you on a journey to the most extreme depths of beautiful violence… and you'll love every second of it.
Ion Fury is remarkably smooth, much like you would expect from a traditional Build game, or nearly any first-person shooter from the mid-90s.
Throughout the game characters remind us that it’s alright to remember the past but the past is just that, the past. We need to focus on the future while using the past as a guide. The team at Experiment 101 have done just that with Biomutant. They created a game that uses elements from games that we’ve loved in the past, while simultaneously moving these elements forward and blending them together to show us that video games can be so much more than we ever imagined they could be.
Flinthook is a roguelike platformer centered around a single object… a grappling hook.
Unless you absolutely hate golf games, you'll probably like it.
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.
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.
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.
