For those who have been playing The Elder Scrolls Online consistently, Summerset is only a natural progression to continue with, but for people who have taken a break and are looking for an excuse to get back in the game or people who have been curious to start, this is a great place to resume or start an adventure.
Pokémon Quest might not have the same variety as many other spin-offs in the series, but it takes a simple idea and extends it into a good experience that encourages really trying to collect them all.

Dark Souls Remastered is a good reminder how far we've come in the last seven years.
Sega Genesis Classics is a good sampler for the console's vast library of games.
Detroit is the best possible version of itself.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is just that, the very best edition of the title that has been released.
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.
