Nidhogg 2 is a unique little fighter that I think anyone will have a blast playing. Whether it be with friends or online, an insane amount of fun can be had. I would temper expectations if you are only looking to play Nidhogg 2 as a single-player experience though, due to the shoddy implementation of the AI.
Tacoma tells an engaging tale with memorable characters. Exploring the abandoned station and reliving pivotal moments alongside the crew has become an experience I won't soon forget.
Sonic Mania is a thoroughly enjoyable throwback to the original games and a must have game in anyone's collection. Christian Whitehead and his team at Headcannon and Pagodawest have definitely set themselves apart as the team to hopefully take 2D sonic games forward.
The Pillars of the Earth is a masterpiece that was challenging to review because the reviewer unexpectedly fell in love. And if you love stories, feels, or time well spent- you will too.
It may not be a gem for everyone since it does require a lot of self-motivation and self-direction for a sandbox genre, but If you are a city builder with determination and organization, this is the game for you.
While Masquerada: Songs and Shadows is a refreshingly good story, it suffers from its unbalanced gameplay and low replayability.
Super Cloudbuilt is an action platformer and labor of love for speedrunner fans, yet it lacks the charm of Super Meat Boy or the flair of Vanquish.
Phantom Trigger's visuals and presentation bring nothing unique to the table, and the combat takes almost too much time to master. The true merit of the journey is the storytelling, which kept me invested down to the final moments.. Come for the story, but don't forget your sword and whip
Ronin is a fun concept for turn-based platforming, with some of the coolest moments in platforming. But it isn't worth paying about a dollar a level, especially while lacking a decent plot and featuring unnecessarily difficult levels.
Sundered ambitiously tackles procedural generation, random encounters, roguelike character progression, and emergent storytelling. The end result is a success.
Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice has shown that video games are mature enough as a medium to capably deliver an entertaining experience while respectfully tackling difficult topics. It's beautiful and emotionally engaging, worth every moment spent in the warrior's mind.
If your PC is ready for this gem, Graceful Exploding Machine is a satisfying game that'll make your day.
Solstice Chronicles: MIA knows that shooting things is fun, and the elements of the game work together beautifully to make the most out of the experience. It's a quality top-down RPG that has a lot of potential replay value.
Death Squared is well worth the investment and is definitely a title puzzle game enthusiasts should pick up and everyone else might find enjoyment from, especially with friends.
Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is a return to a classic and is every bit worth your money and time. It retains its charm that it once had and it will entertain both old and newcomers.
Pyre is a brilliant game with a fantastic story and world building, beautiful visuals, an excellent soundtrack, and fun, clever combat and progression. Supergiant Games continues to impress.
Despite Nintendo splatting themselves in the foot yet again, the Splatoon franchise remains fresh. Splatoon 2 succeeds in making a number of improvements while keeping everything we know and love when it comes to these odd Squid Kids.
Mother Russia Bleeds is a game that will make you hate yourself for enjoying.
Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles is a mindless adventure game that's easy to lose yourself in. Story and character development are pretty light, but the main focus is atmosphere, which the game accomplishes beautifully.
With setbacks that could have made it a bad game, Gravity Rush 2 pulls through with its compelling story and fun gameplay.
