Portal Knights is a pleasant surprise. It's not often a game makes me feel bouncy, and I definitely see myself playing this more in the future.
Nobodies is one of those little games that won't blow your mind, but is an enjoyable romp nevertheless. There's some neat puzzles thanks to its twist on adventure game logic alongside some devious black comedy. If you can forgive some tedious puzzles at times and some glitching, this is worth your time. Just don't be surprised if you get stumped.
Voodoo Vince, while flawed, is a perfect defense for bringing obscure titles back from the dead.
Last Time on Dragon Ball Z... Kakarot
We're currently in the killin' Nazi zombie business, and business is booming
Prepare to Die... IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
If you were fond of The Final Station, you'll probably enjoy The Only Traitor the same way. It's melancholic like the original game but more desperate, dangerous, and with some much-needed improvements. However, don't expect this to blow your socks off. If you weren't already on the hype train with this game, this won't change your mind. I still enjoyed it, but I won't play it more than twice.
Runic Rampage is gaming junk food. It's cheap, you've had it before, and you consume more than you wanted to. I still had fun, and it's pretty good if you want some mindless action for a value price. However, it can feel very same-y near the end and the procedural generation doesn't feel necessary.
Trackmania has the time trial gameplay you expect from the series with a neat map editor, but its subscription service feels like a misstep. Rather than a social racing game, it’s a racing game with a social service built onto it.
If you enjoy the cars, the managing, the challenge, WRC 9 will be your cup of tea. Everyone else should find something enjoyable but nothing that'll hold your attention for long.
It can be an alright introduction to the genre for people who haven’t experienced old school adventure games and don’t want to use walkthroughs. Anyone else will find a title that’s pretty, fluid, and underwhelming.
Ancient Enemy isn't bad, and is one of the better ways you can reinvent Solitaire-esque games. But it is still a Solitaire-esque game, and that makes it hard to recommend to anyone who isn't a fan of the genre.
Supermarket Shriek has its moments and might be the sort of chaos you're craving, However, its racing thrills can get stale and its longer levels can suck out the fun. There are worse games that use these sorts of novelties, but it won't hold your attention for long.
While there are moments where the spookiness clicks, like its hectic climax, the rest is forgettable. It will give a fright once in a while, but that shock quickly disappears.
Even though there's heart and care put into the game's style and use of myth, the same isn't true for the rest of it. It runs fine and the combat is functional, but it won't leave a huge impression. If you're fond of Norse Mythology and don't have much time to spare, Fimbul might be up your alley. A single playthrough is enjoyable enough, but filling up the story thread and replaying the same battles repeatedly isn't worth the effort.
With a concept that's insensitive at best, Cannibal Cuisine has a rough first impression to overcome. The mechanics that are under it are fine, but the controls can feel too slippery for their own good. Add that with an average combat system and you've got a game that never shines beyond its sensationalistic pitch. If your mates crave some co-op chaos, there are far worse games to play. However, there are also far better games out there.
While Orwell's Animal Farm stays true to its source material, its repetitive and unclear gameplay weakens a stylized portrayal of the book. It's not the worst way to spend a couple hours thanks to replayability and excellent narration, but it's not compelling to get every ending and collect every stamp. You'll get a lot more out of reading the book than you will from the game.
When Expedition Zero is at its best, it's a tense battle against the elements as you scavenge and try to get out of the surreal zone. At its worst, it's getting killed by annoying monsters. Unfortunately, you do more of the latter, making it more frustrating than scary. If Expedition Zero still interests you with its problems, get ready to grit your teeth.
