The Cruel King and the Great Hero is a gorgeous looking JRPG, but its slow pace and amount of random battles make it a painful experience.

What Lies in the Multiverse is a sublime puzzle platformer. The puzzles are engaging and the story balances comedy and drama with aplomb.

Unscored - The Anacrusis
Jan 7, 2022

The Anacrusis looks to be everything I want from a spiritual successor to Left 4 Dead. The pick up and play nature is compelling from the drop, and the 70s sci-fi setting is so refreshing. The AI Driver really makes every session totally different, facing different combinations of aliens in different settings doesn’t get stale. I know the next few months of my life will be spent replaying the game over and over again with my partner, and I can’t wait.

Fractured in Alterac Valley contains some great cards and has a great faction warfare theme, but ultimately doesn't shake up the stale Hearthstone meta enough.

To The Rescue! is an adorable and heartfelt management game, that unfortunately loses its way after the first few hours.
