Carrion's sickeningly animated protagonist and distinctive playstyle will sate the desires of any player who has ever imagined being a monster from a horror film. It is also a blast to torture faceless government workers with a buffet of slimy powers. Bland level design and a narrative that has the complexity of a paramecium keep Carrion from being something truly memorable.
Röki is a trendsetter in the adventure genre, with innovative design and a beautifully crafted world that you'll never want to leave.
It lacks polish and has a forgettable story, but Ageless' core concept is an interesting one that's well-built throughout the game and is worth a look for anyone interested in a short burst of puzzle-platforming.
Ghost of Tsushima is a wonderful homage to classic Samurai movies. It's not a historically accurate epic, but it's not claiming to be. What the game lacks in a fresh core story and an occasional lack of polish, it more than makes up for with engaging gameplay, a gorgeous world to explore, an exciting setting and characters you'll grow to love.
Paper Mario is a hysterical and consistently gripping adventure that will keep you wondering what left turn it will take next. It's a game crafted with love and a willingness to subvert expectations, and its myriad charming moments will make you forget about its joyless and overly pushy battle system.
SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE is one of a select few games that forces you to earn the right to feel like a demi-god and one that offers the best gameplay this side of its predecessor.
Golf on Mars is a fun, relaxing and addictive game that engages players just enough to not make them bored, but never forces them to dedicate more of their brain to it than can be expected of something that's best suited to staying on their second screen.
An almost perfect platformer, Neversong is a deliciously dark experience that shouldn't be missed if you value story and worldbuilding.
Despite its reasonably bright personality, an unpolished world and mediocre story makes this point-and-click feel more Beneath than Beyond.
Superliminal will challenge and confound but never punish. Pillow Castle's debut is inventive and occasionally mind-boggling, a short but engaging feast for fans of optical illusions and lateral thinking.
Neon Abyss provides incredibly rewarding gunplay and a plethora of upgrades that can quickly turn each run into a chaotic display of bullets and explosions. It unfortunately isn't as creative or cohesive as some other roguelikes, with a story that sits firmly on the sidelines, but if you value gameplay over narrative you're bound to have a good time blasting through the abyss.
F1 2020 continues Codemasters' excellent form in delivering a fantastic recreation for Formula 1. The new My Team mode injects new life into the series and is far more welcome than Devon Butler was last year. It's never easy making iterative releases relevant but they sure do seem to have a grand plan in play. One wonders what we'll be treated to next year, but until then there's a bucket load of fun in F1 2020 to keep you entertained.
If you missed out on it during the Wii U cycle, there has never been a better time to unite in the deeply flawed yet ceaselessly delightful world of The Wonderful 101: Remastered.
When the stars align, racing in Assetto Corsa Competizione is absolutely fantastic. It is, however, marred by some questionable omissions in its configurable options, issues with some of the most popular wheels and pedals on the market, and public lobbies that aren't currently available to all regions. It can, and should, be better.
A pretty but average experience, Summer in Mara fails to set the world on fire due to some major gameplay flaws that fail to guide the player in even the most basic ways.
Writing that's worth wincing at does little to drag down a hyper-relaxing and educational diving game. Beyond Blue lets you take a breath in a medium packed with games that try their hardest to make your blood pressure skyrocket.
The Last Of Us Part II is a brutal, purposeful sequel designed to defy popular appeal. Instead it walks a thornier narrative path, even if the gameplay feels largely unchanged from its predecessor.
Fans of point and click adventures may enjoy Possession 1881, but like a talking doll sitting on the floor of an empty room, the average gamer will likely prefer to keep their distance.
Total Tank Simulator could've been something great, but because it lacks the depth of strategy games and the charm of parody battle simulators, it offers little more than whatever enjoyment can be found in sending fifty Soviet war bears into battle against a hoard of German conscripts.
Maneater may delight some with its appeal to the player's schadenfreude and the quirkiness of playing as a shark, but its simplicity and antiquated nature will leave many wishing for a game that was more evolved.
