Postal 4: No Regerts is boring, poorly written mess of a game that feels more like a cheap mobile FPS than an actual PC title.
Extraction is a bold reimagining of the co-op shooter that never came after the cancellation of Patriots. Some issues that needs to be worked out, but still a solid game for co-op fans.
A fantastic casual fishing/cooking/life sim game marred by a myriad of quality of life issues.
While marred by useless bots, an unnecessary multiplayer mode, and some reused assets; Back 4 Blood is an excellent new take on the 4 player co-op shooter genre.
World War Z: Aftermath is a significant improvement to the base game by adding some much needed content and a melee revamp if you can look past the grind.
Gamedec is a fantastic point and click detective game that is only held back by small, fixable quality of life and balancing issues.
While the gameplay is impressively innovative, the execution falls flat due to poor pacing and a badly designed learning curve.
A disappointing game riddled with poor level design, painful movement speeds, a punishing learning curve for new players, and a bad UX.
While suffering from a few UX issues and dully army mechanics, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous is a fantastic RPG with solid party based gameplay
An ode to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. hobbled by poor AI, a rough early grind, and mediocre storytelling
A game with solid offensive flow and a great soundtrack that is hobbled by a lack of quality of life features, poorly balanced combat, and atrocious AI.
An excellent game that provides a solid twist to the deck building genre. Needs only some minor polishing to get it close to perfection.
For all its flaws, Solasta: Crown of the Magister is still a wonderful take on a D&D style game
A flawed and dull game that is saved by a wonderfully tense end game.
The new content added to Disco Elysium: The Final Cut is exactly what is needed to turn a great game into an amazing one.
An addictive gameplay loop that’s worth it for fans of shoot and loots willing to put up with some serious launch woes, but a wait and see for the rest of us.
An interesting experiment gone horribly wrong, Spacebase Startopia is plagued with dull RTS mechanics, a grind heavy campaign, and bad writing.
A solid rogue-lite offering intense gameplay. Held back slightly by a long currency grind and an imperfectly executed light mechanic.
Solid exploration and resource management gameplay combined with decent combat, an enjoyable story, and a strong audio/visual presentation.
Empire of Sin has good ideas hobbled by poor execution and painfully repetitive gameplay.
