Mafia III radiates an attention to detail and love for the work; even the game's mission variety void feels intentionally designed to channel Lincoln's singular goal of vengeance. This can have a damaging effect on pacing in the long run, yet Mafia III's setting remains an exquisite piece of open world design.
It's hard not to think of Tacoma as a game or even a narrative piece, but the truth is that Tacoma is an interactive experience. It might not reward you in the same ways as other games, or books, or even plays. It's a different kind of medium, where you get out of it what you put into it. I say play Tacoma, it might not tickle you in the same way it does me, but if you enjoy Sci-Fi and digging through people's personal lives, you'll dig Tacoma.
Donut County is a short and sweet package, with a unique take on what a game can be. It's full of as much charm as it is full of holes...but in the best possible way!
A great stealth action game that improves on its predecessor in every way, only held back by a limited scope and a less then great plot.
Feist is a gorgeous adventure that all should undertake. The game can be challenging, but its gradual build and the environment's guidance make it accessible to anyone. The story of this innocent fur creature risking life and limb for love is simple and relatable, and the resulting emotion is a driving force in the darkest of times.
When all is said and done, Shantae And The Pirate's Curse is the definitive Shantae experience, and it feels just as fabulous as ever on the Nintendo Switch.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard clearly stands as a solid addition to an important series in gaming history.
There’s no denying that Human Fall Flat has charm, and the developer should be commended for crafting a good time in an unexpected setting and style – there’s really nothing else quite like it.
Furi is the product of a studio to watch out for and may prove to be one of the more rewarding and rage-inducing gaming experiences in many a year.
Death Road to Canada is an addictive and fresh take on the undeniably stale zombie genre. The game's sharp writing and ridiculous events filled with personality inspire multiple runs just out of want to experiment with the different outcomes. Though the game fails to utilize a couple key features of the Switch that would've truly enhanced the player experience, it's still great fun to be had here.
Metroid Prime: Federation Force feels nothing like a traditional Metroid title, however it's still a fun multiplayer experience that is sure to keep gamers blasting away.
Jotun: Valhalla Edition is worth your time, and offers beautiful art, great gameplay, and an engaging tale for a bargain price.
Earthlock is a fantastic adventure and a very polished RPG. Fans of the genre will fall in love with the game. It draws on a lot of good RPG elements and it really feels like Snowcastle are fans of the genre themselves.
Telltale's Batman: Episode 2 not only exceeds the first episode in every way but manages a fresh take on Batman lore, which is no small feat.
An outstanding co-op shooter, pouring blood and guts by the gallons. Killing zombies has rarely been this satisfying, and is a must for co-op groups.
Dairies of a Spaceport Janitor is a simple, fun game with a lovely atmosphere, a lot of heart, and a subtle message. Well worth a look despite a few technical problems.
Despite a complete brutalization of its dialogue by a Western localization team, Yakuza 0 still manages to pull through on both its charm and the kind of eccentric gameplay that the series has become renowned for by now. Yakuza 0 sets itself up as the place to start for newcomers, so its PC release is all the more sensible.
Engaging, surreal, and unlike any other game in its genre, The Silver Case is a testament to the fact that Suda51 has been challenging the status quo from the very beginning.
A unique indie game that's easy to get lost in as you travel around 1880s India. Great at generating stories, whether they be what the game intended or something uniquely yours.
Detention stands as one of the creepiest games available on Steam, all while being a textbook example of how atmosphere is the king of horror.
