A great game in its own right, with a healthy plethora of content and variety to keep you going for many hours, but if you came looking for a true Darkest Dungeon sequel you may be disappointed.
Trepang2 is an absolutely brilliant experience. Combat is insanely fun and satisfying, and the story is entertaining. The price tag may be a little high as the content is thin, but the fantastic gameplay loop makes it worth the time and the money.
Alien: Dark Descent is an absolutely brilliant experience, incredibly well-balanced, and despite being very difficult in certain areas, it doesn't ever feel unfair. Definitely worth giving a try.
As a whole package, I found myself having fun with Exoprimal, but the harsh lack of content and weak progression systems really hold it back. It has potential, and maybe a fantastic game later on, but right now it's difficult to justify the price tag.
Ed-0: Zombie Uprising is a very odd title which is relatively hard to recommend to many people, however it most definitely has an audience. If you're willing to put up with the game's many quirks, you may find something to love here.
Robotherapy is a beautiful game with an incredible message and story, only slightly bogged down by its incredibly short playtime. (taking only an hour to beat).
The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is a joy to play, while there are some minor growing pains, it is more than worth your time and money.
FromSoftware once again released an utter masterpiece, with insane combat and an engaging plot, along with customisation allowing you to create the mech of your dreams.
Summum Aeterna has some intriguing ideas, bogged down by unoriginality and unsatisfying combat.
Looper Tactics is a fun game with some interesting mechanics, yet it struggles to stand out in its current state.
Astrea: The Six Sided Oracles is an absolute masterclass in both roguelike and deck-building and looks to be a mainstay in the genre
Mortal Kombat 1 is fantastic, having some minor issues in the story here and there, along with the underwhelming Invasion's mode, but overall is a great time.
Separate Ways is an absolute blast, with Ada being a fun character and the story and new additions to Ada's campaign are incredible.
El Paso, Elsewhere is a charming journey into the mind of man, descending into madness and taking any horrific creatures he can with him.
A simple, yet incredibly effective roguelike, focusing purely on the necessities, which makes for a surprisingly engaging title.
Station to Station is a fantastic game, with a beautifully calming atmosphere, yet slightly lacking in content.
Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name is a masterful entry in the franchise, and only makes me crave even more from the series.
Blood West is a fantastic stealth FPS with some light immersive sim elements. The world feels incredibly bleak, yet super atmospheric, definitely worth the pickup!
