Celestial Return takes the best elements of the Disco-likes, then adds a couple of clever mechanics to carve out an identity of its own.
NBA The Run is decently paced and visually striking. It also forces an online-only connection, suffers from poor camera angle choices, and is an immense progression grind.
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced does little to improve Black Flag's visuals, but transforms its gameplay into the title it was always meant to be.
A superb point-and-click adventure that pairs exceptional writing, memorable characters and satisfyingly logical puzzles with one of the most enjoyable supernatural mysteries the genre has seen in years.
Frostpunk 2: Breach of Trust is brutally unforgiving, but its timely themes and rewarding challenges make it worthwhile.
A beautifully crafted cinematic adventure whose heartfelt storytelling, gorgeous presentation and lovable central duo overcome a handful of familiar genre conventions and an uneven final act.
Equal parts job simulator and horror game, Letter Lost excels at making the ordinarily feel deeply unsettling.
A beautifully written visual novel that transforms the end of the world into an intimate meditation on memory, regret, and human connection. Haunting, heartfelt, and difficult to forget.
IOI has done a fabulous job at making a great action-adventure game that just so happens to be wrapped up in James Bond clothing, and all that is expected of it.
Thank You For Your Application has something worthwhile to say, but says it in the least engaging way possible.
Beneath Zero Parades' conspiracies, conditionings, and intelligence networks lies a deeply human story about regret, identity, and the cost of living with your mistakes.
Mina the Hollower is a brilliant example of modern retro design, combining exceptional exploration, satisfying combat, and a wonderfully strange gothic world into one of the year's most memorable adventures.
Life Below lacks the depth of the genre's best, but few strategy games are this calming, beautiful, or thoughtful.
A clever and emotionally sincere puzzle game whose gorgeous clockwork presentation and inventive musical mechanics carry it through occasional stretches of repetition and restraint.
Outbound offers plenty of pretty vistas to virtually photograph, but very little in the way of meaningful gameplay.
Wardrum's literal and figurative beats don't always land, but its unusual blend of genres makes for an experience that's consistently engaging and unlike almost anything else on the market.
Whirlight, while a competent point-and-click, offers little beyond nostalgia for players already devoted to the genre.
A strikingly moody adventure that knows exactly what it wants to feel like, but never fully works as either a game or a story in the way it needs to.
A beautifully staged sci-fi survival story weighed down by repetitive, sometimes awkward gameplay.
A clever idea let down by inconsistent design and a punishing difficulty curve, Beyond Words struggles to capture the "one more go" magic it so clearly aims for.
