Featuring a consistent challenge and tense encounters, this roguelike shooter distinguishes itself in a crowded field

This mix of ideas from classics like of Asteroids and Lunar Lander is interesting, touchy controls make it tough to love
The revered action RPG is back, and though visually this remaster works well, its style of play feels limited by modern standards
A 3D platformer with a focus on jumps that unfortunately has poor fundamentals that make positioning a nightmare
This mesmerizing adventure in black and white is both accessible and brilliant for sharing with a friend or tackling solo
If you’re looking for solid anime characters and odd story beats first, and dungeon crawling party building second, this works well
This well-timed release drops you into the bumpy ride of looking for love, as you try to make a positive impression on a variety of dates

With a relatively simple mix of slider puzzles and a bit of Rubik’s Cube, this casual puzzler could appeal to the right crowd… maybe
Despite its attempts to entertain with what it describes as its “satirical” humor and compelling action, it delivers neither
There’s no question this feels convincingly like an 8-bit-era release, for better or for worse depending on tastes
While I appreciate its old-school FPS style and community-built levels, its gameplay stumbles more than it struts
If you’re seeking Wii-era waggle flashbacks without much to really do, you can waste your money on this
Mixing together exploration and puzzle-solving, while never really cranking up the challenge, The Pathless has a unique feel on Switch
