A classic RPG remake stemming from a time when RPG were more brutal and let the player explore and discover the world of their own volition. Begin by being literally tossed into the world and have to struggle to survive.
The story is engaging, and the gameplay, along with the overall atmosphere, is captivating. I plan to keep this game in my rotation as my go-to for roguelikes.
There's some fun to be had with John Carpenter's Toxic Commando if you can play with some friends, especially, as that's the best way to play these types of games, but there's also just a bit too much stuffed in here to make it have the same level of replayability that leads to long-term success.
Code Vein II delivers satisfying combat and some genuinely fantastic boss encounters, but uneven exploration and some pacing issues keep it from reaching its full potential.
Invincible VS captures the chaotic energy, brutal violence, and larger-than-life spectacle that make the Invincible universe so compelling to visit in the first place.
As someone who normally isn’t a deck builder fan, I was all in on this game.
Xenonauts 2 is a fun and challenging game that works well on PC. There is a massive library of lore to read and research, as well as challenging gameplay.
From the compelling story arcs to the exciting gameplay, Pragmata has proved to be a memorable experience.
Poker Night at the Inventory is been a great portable game for the Steam Deck and great to play at home
This game is a great addition to any library, even for those who may not be familiar with the property or the broader universe it comes from.
I enjoyed playing this game, especially since I didn't have much prior experience with the series. The multiple choices and actions made it feel like my decisions were truly my own, without the pressure to play exactly as the captain would.
Kirby Air Riders is a unique concept that's committed to its oddities in the best sort of ways, and, as far as racing games go, the easy-to-pick-up-and-play but hard-to-master mantra is truer here than most games.
Mario Tennis Fever turns up the heat by adding in racquets that'll drive some players insane with how annoying they'll be, but it's all part of the fun, and if you want the strict tennis experience, the core of which is very solid, you can play it that way only if you wish.
Reanimal was hard to put down, with sensational pacing that builds tension and then plays out spectacular cinematic scenes
Woolhaven has reignited my passion for this charming yet dark and twisted rogue-lite. The DLC expansion has introduced a fresh dimension to the game, offering significantly more content to explore and enjoy. The expanded lore captivated my interest, and the storytelling was engaging. With a blend of wholesome and darker elements, this experience was truly memorable.
It's not one I'd say is for hardcore fans, but it's always interesting to see big IP taken in new directions, and God of War Sons of Sparta is a good little Metroidvania that'll help fill the hole of a new entry in the series for a little longer.
The music and melodies fast become earworms hard to cleanse
I have already gifted a copy to one of my friends, hoping that we can play soon. The developers have made the game interesting and have allowed many aspects of D&D campaigns to carry over.
Ball x Pit is an addictive ball-breaking cross-genre sugar-rush that'll keep you up all night in the best ways as you keep going deeper, looking for the higher scores, and ways to improve your run.
Battlefield 6 has brought back many of my fondest gaming memories while introducing some superb additions that will make some previous fans rejoin the battle. I have thoroughly enjoyed both single and multiplayer modes, and I hope to delve deeper into the Portal modes once more have been created and made available to the public.
