Although they're mainly known for maintaining the video game distribution network Steam these days, it's important to remember how instrumental Valve's games have been in moving the video game industry forward. With the recent release of Half-Life: Alyx, Valve's most impressive title yet, it's hard not to think that a new era for virtual reality has either just ended, or just begun. Either way, the game is a step forward for new, more immersive ways to engage with the interactive storytelling medium, and once a larger number of players get a chance to experience Half-Life: Alyx for themselves it's likely many, many more people will be inspired to go out and buy their own virtual reality headsets.
Panzer Dragoon Remake is a cool piece of nostalgia for old fans, but it shows its age with its short length, outmoded gameplay and meager content.
Planet Zoo's South America DLC adds some enjoyable new animals and items, but the lack of content could leave some wondering if it's worth the price.
Even with a dull story and flat characters, Trials of Mana's fun, varied combat makes it easy to recommend to fans of action RPGs new and old.
Even with smaller stakes, XCOM's strategy shines through.
A surreal yet memorable experience.
Moving Out is a delightful couch co-op game missing a crucial component in these trying times: online multiplayer. Moving is hard without friends.
Fort Triumph is a brilliantly crafted genre blend.
The difficulty level feels unfair despite interesting gameplay.
Biped is fun solo, but best played with a friend.
A clever premise can't meet the expectations of its ever-evolving namesake. The end result: a most tedious and ugly game.
The Complex fails at being an engaging interactive experience, video game and story.
New indie game Itta combines a dreary narrative with hairy bullet-hell bosses, though some half-baked systems hold it back from greatness.
The Inner Friend nails the horror even if it's disappointingly short.
An fun combination of odd humor and classic paintings.
A must-play, totally unique puzzle game.
Deliver Us The Moon may be rough around some edges, but a gripping narrative and exceptional puzzle-solving make it a trip worth taking.
Asymmetry somehow brings it all together.
The game is interesting, but becomes to repetitive.
Savvy and patient adventurers will find treasure worth hunting in Curious Expedition, but earning fame and fortune comes a brutal, repetitive price.
