It might sound like I'm being overly hard on Omega Strike but I did have a decent time with it.
Blacksea Odyssey is a rather challenging game for me to score because it's filled with both wonderful highs and demoralizing lows.
Even though Earthfall isn't revolutionary and doesn't stand tall with top-tier cooperative shooters, there's still some fun to be had with it, especially if you have friends to enjoy it with.
Dead Cells is undoubtedly one of the best games I've played all year.

Despite its flaws, there's still a lot of fun to be had with Chasm.

We Happy Few is an ambitious title with an interesting premise but it fails to deliver on the things that make a video game fun to play.

On the surface, Anodyne looks a lot like the older Zelda games.
Although a lot of The Gardens Between is focused on its narrative, it also has clever brain-teasing puzzles and an engaging world that will hold the interest of gamers looking for an immersive story as well as those who love a challenge.

For better and worse, Battle Princess Madelyn is an authentic retro experience.
Modern additions to the classic Resident Evil formula have made Resident Evil 2 an excellent remake although I am a little disappointed with how the 2nd Run campaigns are handled.
I can only recommend Sleepin' Deeply to those who absolutely loved the original and just can't get enough Suicide Guy.
Evoland and its clever riff on gaming culture and history is perfect for long-time gamers while Evoland 2 is a fantastic RPG that belongs in the top echelon of indie games.
Far Cry New Dawn is a refined but unexciting adventure.
