Half Past Fate is a sweet, complicated tale, perfect for those who want a few hours of heart and soul and not many puzzles.
When it all clicks together, Stela makes for some beautiful platformer moments. When it doesn't, it's frustrating and obtuse.
Hearts of Iron IV: La Resistance is the newest DLC that adds intelligence, operations, and spies that adds meaningful mechanics to the base game.
Yes, Your Grace is a fresh take on kingdom management and a tale about the importance of family. Managing resources and building an army is an unforgiving task, but an engaging story and likeable characters make your sacrifices worthwhile.
Murder By Numbers is a fun and funny 90s romp for nonogram enthusiasts, but perhaps not the casuals.
One Punch Man: A Hero Nobody Knows throws players into a world of heroes. While the game looks flashy with big attacks and heavy cosmetic customization, the framework that this game is built on is pretty sparse. If you want a fighting game this is dime a dozen, though fans might get a tickle out of hurdles made to make Saitama 'balanced.'
Death and Taxes is a short, fun game with plenty of replay value and enough challenge to keep you reincarnating a few times over.
Bloodroots presents an amazing combat sandbox and then forces players into rote memorization of the developer's set path. No amount of Samurai Jack styling can make that fun.
Omnibion War is equal parts boring and frustrating, and doesn't manage to even come close to the classic games it was inspired by.
With an engaging story, tight controls, and flashy action, the Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection makes you feel like a real hero, despite some stumbles along the way.
Super Crush KO is good clean, robot-bashing fun. With easy controls and gradually increased difficulty, it's a great way to get into the genre.
It's easy to get lost in the pleasure behind clearing an entire fortress in Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts. While the overall story isn't compelling, the gameplay is gripping.
Sam's Story offers more of a good thing, though the dialogue can be improved and some new features will be frustrating
Already boasting one of Media Molecule's strongest campaigns, Dreams also has the creation tools that let you make the game of your dreams. They are as deep as advertised, and it's wonderful.
Lonely Mountains: Downhill offers a pleasing mixture of challenge and serenity. It's a touch repetitive and the level design needs work, but it's a fine way to while away a rainy afternoon or two.
Ciel Fledge: A Daughter Raising Simulator breaks new ground with its combination of game systems, but hiding critical information from the player is a real drag on a long game.
The Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle brings a lot of novelty with its new NES translations, but the retro games on offer will hold little value to anyone not already familiar with the Technōs catalog.
In this conclusion to Fire Emblem: Three Houses' Expansion Pass, you can expect great new characters and more interesting stories to explore, this time within the Abyss. Some maps can repeat and it's exceptionally difficult, but it's a worthy closing.
LUNA The Shadow Dust is a beautiful game in a mysterious world. While not for those seeking a strong story or intimately clever puzzles, it provides a fun, whimsical experience.
I tried so hard to love this game, but in the end, I only really liked it at best.
