In the end, Synthetic Dawn adds a good amount of content onto the core Stellaris game for a reasonably small investment. It doesn't do everything perfectly and could use some mid-campaign meat, but the machine races certainly set themselves apart from their organic counterparts in a grand slew of ways that are fun to interact with and play.
In the nearly 20 years since Sonic Adventure, it turns out all Sonic needed was a developer who actually understood what made a good Sonic game. Mania is a joyous non-stop celebration of everything you ever loved about Sonic The Hedgehog, with perfectly designed levels, and controls that feel just right..
Honestly feels like an epic Batman movie.
Rezrog is a give and take of fairly enjoyable character building and somewhat tedious and repetitive dungeon crawling.

Starpoint Gemini Warlords is a blast from start to finish once you get over its flaws.
A solidly enjoyable title that has balance issues that need patching but otherwise a good investment for fans of the genre.
Endless Space 2 once again delivers a top notch turn based 4X sci fi experience.
The improved road and transport infrastructure the content allows for is pretty great but like the other DLC's, the content seems lacking in quantity.
Like Deck13's previous game Lords of the Fallen, The Surge is defiantly inspired by the Dark Souls series and wears its influence on its sleeve. It gets the general formula right, especially regarding difficulty and combat, and then it adds new ideas to make things feel fresh. The futuristic sci-fi world is a welcome change from dark fantasy, and the limb-targeting function makes combat more exciting, more visceral, and allows access to better gear. Clever.
A game that has plenty of polish but is average underneath.
A solid third entry for the franchise that executes its mechanics very well. Sadly the lack of multiplayer modes at launch is disappointing but a great game that should please many.
Nice content updates that have added some unique issues, overall a solid update that is a little pricey for the meal.
A much-needed expansion that sures up the shallowness of the empire building and management. Utopia adds great depth and new layers of progression that make building your interstellar empire a much more unique and enjoyable experience.
Small complaints aside, anyone looking for a missing LucasArts adventure from the early 90s needs to play Thimbleweed Park and will be very happy with it. You know, that period filled with the best adventure games ever made from the best adventure game developer ever? Good. Play it.
A unique enjoyable wargame that offers something different while remaining easy to pick and play.
Toukiden 2 ends up offering something that's lacking in all departments.There's too much fluff between the good stuff, but it still offers a somewhat exhilarating experience in short bursts. If you're looking for a combat-heavy co-op experience on PC, it's not a bad choice at all - but if you're coming from similar games, you'll likely be left feeling generally underwhelmed.
What is lacks in scale is made up for in its sense of style - and improving upon both next time around could result in something utterly remarkable.
Styx: Shards of Darkness is an incredibly fun game - provided you are ok with slowing down the pace and willing to put up with uncompromising stealth. If you are looking for an action heavy stealth experience, this isn’t really your cup of tea. However, if you’re like me (though I’m terrible at stealth on the whole) and want a great, difficult challenge, Styx: Shards of Darkness might be right up your alley.
There has never been a fighting game like this one before, and judging by Marvel vs Capcom Infinite, there probably never will.
