Punch Line isn't for everybody, and this port has some issues, but it's a solid VN with a great story and an endearing cast of characters.
Void Bastards is a terrific game that balances the joy of exploration with the fear of failure in a wonderful way. It could use some more incentives to keep playing, but it's a blast while it lasts.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered adds some prettier textures and lighting, but fails to make this poorly-designed, frustrating game worth another look.
Dark Devotion is intriguing, but design problems and cumbersome combat do their best to keep it from reaching its full potential.
Sekiro is an extremely challenging, beautiful game that's very much worth the time to learn. Just prepare to die even more than you probably thought.
Outward is simultaneously mesmerizing and full of missteps. What could have been a truly special game is damaged by how tedious and ill-advised so many of its design decisions are.
I enjoyed One Piece: World Seeker in spite of its flaws, but anyone who isn't a big fan of One Piece will likely find the game a chore to get through.
Devil May Cry 5 might not be the best entry in the series, but it's a good time with great gameplay, in spite of the middling story and bland art direction.
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove is an extremely welcome update to the first game in the series that retains and expands upon everything that made that game a classic.
Eastshade may have some serious technical problems, but it's a wonderful game that deserves a lot of attention.
Wonderful presentation, fun abilities, and a good sense of humor help buoy Away along, but it's disappointingly light on content and has no real replay value.
Genesis Alpha One is a unique, captivating experience that achieves most of what it sets out to do.
JackQuest is a very average game held back further by questionable design decisions. It's not necessarily a bad time, but it isn't a good one either.
My Time at Portia is great at first, but it's as insanely stretched out as it is tedious and empty.
Space Viking Raiders is short and simple, but it's a lot of fun for up to four players.
Double Cross suffers from underwhelming combat and bland levels but makes up for it with a good story and fun platforming.
Assault Spy is a must-play for fans of fast, stylish character action. It's got some problems, but it's an absolute blast.
Gris is a beautiful experience that will be well-regarded for it's visuals, themes, and game design for years to come.
Escape Doodland could use some more content, but it's a really neat, little game. As long as I'm not playing level seven.
Darksiders III is a very good game marred by some severe issues. Still, I loved it. I only hope Gunfire Games addresses its issues.
