I do like rogue-likes, but I strongly believe Necropolis would have been better either as a rogue-lite or with a more forgiving death mechanic.

Simple controls and mechanics are your best bet for solid gameplay, and Thoth delivers these on a silver platter.

Admittedly, there are a few rooms that could have probably been removed altogether and instead replaced with more story exposition.

There are plenty of interesting backstories hidden in tapes and memos, but as soon as you run into the few survivors connected to these, there’s a disconnect.

If you love an interesting story with some creepy sci-fi elements, then I highly recommend The Final Station.

If you’ve got the season pass, it’s worth it to pop into the multiplayer for a bit, even if you just want to try out The Harvester.

If that’s not bad enough, most of the new pieces suffer from the same issues we’ve had since day one, like improper snapping and weird placement.

The artwork alone is a great example of what you can do in 2D space with Unity these days.

Even just moving from one zone to the next can leave you feeling like a child reading an adventure novel, imagining all of the cool new worlds just ready to be explored.

The conduit doesn’t look that great when it goes vertical, but having a wire here and there connecting floors looks much better than before and it’s a welcome change.

It’s almost like the art team simply wasn’t finished, but they decided to ship anyway.

From the originality of the story, to the illustrative comic book panel scenes and exceptional graphics, Turn On is a fantastic casual platformer guaranteed to help pass a few hours of your day with a smile on your face.

When some of your level design includes portal puzzles, you absolutely need them to look distinctly different from each other.

Currently there’s a pretty glaring bug where your cursor isn’t centered on your character, resulting in your laser marker not correctly showing your line of fire.

The reality is, while Far Harbor itself is fantastic, Bethesda has once again lived up to its old name and released some content with major bugs and issues.

If you like first person shooters, if you're an old DOOM fan, or if you just like killing demons, treat yourself to DOOM 2016. It's going to amaze me if id Software decides to not do a follow-up to this game, and Bethesda/ZeniMax would be crazy not to let this studio basically do whatever the hell it wants to after this release.

If you haven’t looked into this new episodic take on a cult classic, you definitely should. King’s Quest is a great way to kill some time if you enjoy a more comedic point-and-click adventure like Monkey’s Island.

If you know some people that are interested and can split the cost, or you just really enjoy rogue-like shooters, then Rogue Stormers is probably right for you. Unfortunately, it’s definitely not right for me.

If you enjoy twin-stick shooters, rogue-likes, or both, Good Robot is absolutely worth your time and money.
