When all is said and done, Omensight ends up being a dazzling piece of work, a terrific action RPG game with fast and fun combat that works perfectly alongside a well-crafted and impressive mystery that's guaranteed to keep you addicted until you've figured everything out.
Few games can tout that their frustration, difficulty and somewhat teasing attitude is what makes them so enjoyable, but Choice Provisions prove once again that the only thing more palpable than failure is the inevitable triumph.
Despite its issues, Conan Exiles is actually an enjoyable survival game that can easily suck hours away from your life before you even realize it.
Momoiro Closet is a strange game to recommend because the all-ages version lacks so much content due to sexuality clearly being the focus.
State of Decay 2 is an improvement over its predecessor, but it's still held back by a number of technical shortcomings.
Fox n Forests is a great game, but does wind up being slotted a bit below something like Shovel Knight. The core platforming and action-oriented combat work well, as does the seasonal shifting mechanic.
MachiaVillain is a provides a terribly fun concept for a management simulation game.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux is how an enhanced remake should be handled.
Hide and Seek is a frustrating experience through and through, mainly for the potential that is wasted due to technical issues and other minor problems.
Combining the same kind of fast-paced fun that worked so well years ago with a picture-perfect progression model, Horizon Chase Turbo is exactly the kind of arcade-inspired racing game the industry has needed.
While not without some criticism, Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time is an enjoyable experience.
Null Vector successfully takes two distinct genres and blends them together in such a way that they feel like perfect compliments to one another.
While it may not be adding tricks at every turn to the platformer genre or making a name for itself with its minimal puzzles, Forgotton Anne will surely win many over with its gorgeous, animated visuals and more importantly, its sense of wonder.
Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire is a worthy successor to the original.
As good as Dragon's Crown Pro may be, there are no significant additions and with only the soundtrack and visuals receiving polish there's no point to upgrade to this version if you still have an original copy of Dragon's Crown. But if you missed out on Dragon's Crown five years ago, Pro is a perfect excuse to experience it.
Trailblazers is a fantastic game that blends racing and a team-based dynamic to craft a memorable experience.
Though it may not provide anywhere near the kind of substantial additions to convince veterans to invest for a second time, there's no mistaking the care and passion Retro Studios and company have put into making DK's most recent outing one of his best.
Frostpunk is a unique strategy game that offers both an engaging and addicting element.
Chuusotsu! 1st Graduation: Time After Time is a mostly cutesy visual novel following the lives of three chuusotsu.
By no means as high a flyer as the ample Devolver Digital outings as of late, The Swords of Ditto does conjure enough of a challenge and inevitable reward for the adventure to feel satisfyingly just, if a little taxing and lost in translation at points.
