PC Gamer's Reviews
Both its world and story are entertaining to investigate, with glimpses of brilliance hidden amidst its gloomy environments and obscure characters. Ultimately, Mortal Shell is not a Souls game, but it is the best not-Souls game I've played so far.
Refreshing tactical changes and some of the best maps in the series make this an experiment worth checking out.
The quest for outrageous items makes Risk of Rain 2 a strong action roguelike, but its unlockable secrets give it that little something extra.
In a genre overstuffed with guns and grenades, this cute and cuddly battle royale stands out.
A classy sandbox that stands out from the pack thanks to its brilliant battles against an array of fantastic beasts.
Paper Beast's origami animals delight, but the resulting game is less than the sum of its parts.
Owns it's bleak theming completely, even if it can get a little repetitive.
Rocket Arena is the best kind of mindless fun.
Fae Tactics takes an enjoyable swing at streamlining a complex genre, but doesn't reinvent it in the process.
Carrion is a fun reverse-horror adventure, though it doesn't push the concept to the heights of its potential.

A faithful recreation, but why go back when Stardew has since perfected the genre?
The deep career mode is even better when managing your own team, and the racing is superbly tactical.
