Howdy.
10 / 10.0 - Oxenfree
Oct 5, 2017

An evolution of narrative design, along with being one of the most captivating and original stories ever told in media.

10 / 10.0 - Celeste

One of the best platformers you'll ever play. The story is also equally superb.

8.5 / 10.0 - SoulCalibur VI
Nov 2, 2018

A graciously-executed fighting game, with enough fairly unique content to satisfy you for tens of hours.

While it might not be up to the same kookiness of previous titles from SWERY, The MISSING has other reasons to make you stay, leaving you shook and heart-broken with a stop-start narrative, and an gameplay gimmick that doesn't overstay its welcome.

8 / 10.0 - Darkest Dungeon
Sep 30, 2018

Darkest Dungeon manages to make turn-based combat terrifying for entirely different reasons.

A great gateway title for roguelikes, and a great game on its own rights.

8 / 10.0 - Ashen
Dec 13, 2018

Whatever missteps Ashen makes can be mostly overlooked, save for the worlds rarely unforgiving nature. This was a journey that enticed me from start to finish, and I pray to The Lord Bruce Lee that it'll do the same to you.

A really neat mix of mechanics and style leads Monster Energy Supercross 2 to be one of the strongest Motocross titles around.

7 / 10.0 - Sheltered
Oct 8, 2018

An understated and fun little survival simulator that is mostly well-balanced, and a small treat to play.

7 / 10.0 - Vaporum
Apr 7, 2019

It's not the biggest rip-off in the world, and Vaporum's neat little spins on dungeon crawling are respectable, with the combat being tactical and in-depth, and the story not being as rewarding as you'd think.

Apr 3, 2018

One of the more fun experiments to test, with a sublime world to explore, and less-than-sublime gameplay attached.

A neat little package of RTS goodness.

7 / 10.0 - Planet Alpha

It's Captain Planet meets Inside. You can't go wrong with a combination like that, surely.

7 / 10.0 - Anodyne
Sep 22, 2018

A botched port doesn't change the fact that Anodyne is worth a shot, with it being a really well done surrealist title.

Is Assault Android fun? Yes, an almost illegal amount of fun, but it makes severe missteps near the end, and the journey ends before you can even appreciate what happens.

6.5 / 10.0 - Little Nightmares
Oct 10, 2018

Utterly terrifying and pants-wetting horror that must be experienced, even if the gameplay is a failure in most regards

A rocky start shows a promising adventure. Please don't mess up, DONTNOD.

6.5 / 10.0 - Treasure Stack
Mar 13, 2019

It has its moments, but the price of admission with Treasure Stack's warts-n-all presentation might steer a few players away from the genuine genius this game provides.

6 / 10.0 - Uncanny Valley
Oct 3, 2018

A bloody terrifying horror game hiding within the shell of an admittedly broken experience.

The worst Call of Duty in years, but the best World War II game in recent memory.
