Sine Mora Ex is a great place to jump in if you have never experienced the original title and are an absolute diehard shoot 'em up fan.
Splasher may have a degree of difficulty that may drive some away and an auto-aim that can be frustrating. It has solid controls and platforming that I would recommend to anybody who wants to scratch that Rayman or Super Meat Boy hole they may not have realized they have been needing to fill.
Pankapu can be a hidden gem if you are a truly a platforming lover seeking a challenge. Others might find themselves discourage from its difficulty.
Fans of Saints Row and Crackdown will find common ground in their love for this game. With all the humor and over the top antics of Saints Row, and the explosive, action, super powered combat of Microsoft's Crackdown franchise, Agents of Mayhem is a rip roaring good time for fans of third person, sandbox shooters.
Despite the same gameplay mechanics, $15 is a small price to pay for a remastered edition. If this is your first time, you won't want to pass this up.
Oriental Empires doesn't exactly break any ground in the strategy genre, and its sometimes insufficient tutorials can be frustrating at times. That said, it gets the basics right and is fairly cheaper than some of its contemporaries, making it an ideal game for the gamer on a budget or for the strategy gamer looking for something new to check out.
A Robot Named Fight! is extremely fun and rewarding when you win, but frustrating when you lose. It's a game meant for more hardcore gamers, and reflects that in its gameplay.
Dead Alliance has an great concept, and grows on you as you play it. If you do not mind the aged graphics, the game plays well. Hiccups aside, it's worth a try!
SteamWorld Dig 2 is much bigger and bolder than its predecessor with an improved level design. The recruited musical talent also successfully adds to the atmosphere of the world. Despite an odd segment that departs from the established formula, Image & Form strikes gold once again.
While there may not be quite enough new to warrant a purchase if you’ve already completed both titles, Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack are still great games in their own rights and make a worthy collection to any gamer's library.
Bungie's latest entry in the series makes some considerable quality of life improvements for fans while improving their storytelling. Awkward group counts and an unchanged core won't likely win over many converts, however.
The open world mechanic adds so much to the Uncharted series, almost giving it a fresh look . With a great story, strong lead characters, and compelling visuals, this is one of the best Uncharted games yet.
Oddly released within a similar window of its direct competition, Wipeout, Redout manages to offer its own brand of break-neck racing, exceeding any possible pretenses of appearing as mere imitation.
Last Day of June is a worthwhile experience marred by narrative decisions and unskippable cutscenes
If you think you are up for the learning curve, I definitely recommend giving The Escapists 2 a try. It has definitely made me feel like a genius when I have formulated the perfect escape strategy, but also foolish when I squander the perfect getaway and miss the easier route. All of that is part of the fun and makes for a rewarding experience.
Persona 4: Dancing All Night is a fun homage to the Persona series with interesting themes that are sometimes presented poorly.
An interesting take on the survival horror / puzzle game, but lacking in areas that would set it apart from its peers. The dark twist in the plot may upset some players.
Lawbreakers will forever be compared to Overwatch, but its much more than a clone. Thanks to the developers' roots, the fast-paced action calls back to the arena shooters of the old days. This-class based shooter successfully break the unwritten laws of the genre.
Season 2 of Batman: The Enemy Within is off to a much stronger start than Season 1 and with the twists, turns, and startling revelations that capped off last season's Finale, I cannot wait to see where Telltale takes this series next.
The Disney Afternoon Collection is a fun and beautiful piece of retro NES nostalgia, showing that there was a time when tie-in games weren't something to be avoided.
