A fantastic action-platformer with roguelike elements; Downwell is a pleasure to play. It's easy to pick up with a very high skill-ceiling. At such a low purchase-price it is hard not to recommend to anyone who enjoys a bit of challenging, fast and rewarding gameplay.
It's hard to believe that Larian was able to make Original Sin better than it already was but they did. This package is a must-buy for any console player looking for an RPG to sink dozens of hours into, and there are enough changes to warrant PC players jumping back in.
Fans of classic isometric RPGs and Dungeons and Dragons alike will enjoy the style of gameplay. Unfortunately performance issues, frustrating combat and the hidden requirement of needing party members can mar the experience.
Armikrog is a somewhat functional game that is unfortunately full of archaic game design, half-baked ideas, glitches galore, insultingly repetitive puzzles, and unrealized potential.
Kingdom is clever and definitely a fresh experience. A solid management system is held back by a lack of control and stumbling AI. Growing your kingdom is a satisfying feeling, however you'll be pulling your hair out by the time it comes crashing down.
Activision has once again dropped a solid, functional Skylanders game. If you're looking for a game to get a child this season you really can't go wrong with Skylanders: Superchargers.
The ingenuous movement mechanic and clever level design make Mushroom 11 a standout in a market saturated with physics-based puzzle platformers.
A Fistful of Gun is the perfect game if you want to experience a retro title with modern perks and quality.
The River of Alice Extended Version is a thoroughly mixed bag. Though some of the puzzles, the visuals, and the sound are pleasant and relaxingly surreal, the slow pace and sometimes nonsensical puzzles make the game more akin to a dream you’ll forget in the morning.
I've played some pretty bad games in my life but I can say without a doubt that Revenge of Kuma is easily one of, if not the biggest piece of s*** I've ever had the displeasure of playing. This is a clearly unfinished, hot mess of a game that leaves a dirty stain on a great series.
Dropsy is a stand-out in the point-and-click genre and a resurgence of classic mechanics. A simultaneously heart-warming and heart-wrenching experience, this game is able to convey emotion unlike any game I have played in a long while.
Euclidean is an oppressively atmospheric game that leaves you wanting more.
Though the game can occasionally feel a bit unfair in combat, it more than makes up for it with its fantastic atmosphere.
Disney Infinity 3.0 succeeds as both a Star Wars game, and a Disney Infinity game.
Zenzizenzic is a must-buy for any fans of the twin-stick shooter genre.
The Director's cut of QUBE is the best version of the game, and a good time to replay it, solely for the added story content.
I was expecting a bit more from this game in terms of meaningful gameplay improvements and AI fixes, but that doesn't stop this trip down memory lane from being a hell of a ride.
It's so frustrating playing a game with such an interesting premise that fails to capitalize on its potential. The Flock is unfortunately doomed to be one of those games people put in their "Wasted Potential" lists.
The game lacks long-term progress and depth, however, through its simple aesthetics, whimsical music, and interesting gameplay, the game manages to offer a unique and inspired twist to the dungeon-crawler genre.
For everything that RymdResa is and isn't, it's a beautiful game.
