Slightly janky graphics can't bring down this great story experience. If Eternal Threads is a walking sim, it's the best we've had in years.
Lost Ark is a great MMO for those willing to put up with a bit of grind. As long as you have friends at your side you should be fine.
While it doesn't go crazy, Jurassic World Evolution 2 has almost perfected dinosaur-theme-park managers. Just ignore the weird voices and occasional bugs.
Blue Reflection: Second Light does a lot of things right. If you don't mind some slight balance issues then the characters and mechanics should keep you interested the entire game through.
The frustrating moments happen often enough to hamper the gameplay in many ways, but despite this, UnMetal is still a really solid stealth game with some genuinely funny moments throughout.
Solas 128 doesn't hold your hand, and has some insanely hard puzzles. The pure visual and auditory style alone makes it worth struggling through though.
Despite a lack of combat, Submerged: Hidden Depths is a great narrative experience filled with exploration.
A fun game with some updates that make it feel incredibly smooth compared to the original version. Light on the challenge, but large on character, the game is still worth playing.
While it's too short to call epic, it's an excellent fantasy adventure. Just don't expect fun combat or a deep story.
Dripping with atmosphere and filled with replayablility, Shinsekai: Into The Depths is possibly the best thing to come out of Apple Arcade yet.
A Plague Tale: Innocence presents a tightly constructed linear journey which is more enjoyable than many open-ended experiences.
Darkwood manages to pull off horror to a truley stunning degree. What minor gameplay annoyances that there are in the game are more than covered for by the exploration and atmosphere.
Prinny Presents NIS Classics Volume 2 is a great compilation for strategy fans. There's enough humour and varied gameplay here to keep you coming back for a long time.
Blair Witch is an instant classic in terms of a horror game. It pulls off tension-building, forces the player to creep themselves out and does it all with a minimum of jump scares. The story alone is a reason to play. If you're brave enough.
Amnesia: The Bunker is a fantastic return to form for the developers behind The Dark Descent. If you want to experience terror locked in a dark cupboard underground, this is the game that will get you there. (Review Policy)
An excellent game for strategy fans who love Godzilla movies. Even without that, the game has so much care and attention put into that it's hard to put it down.
Elden Ring takes the best elements of all past FromSoftware games in recent memory and mashes them together. While it's not inviting to newcomers, this is certainly the definitive FromSoft experience.
