Crime O'Clock is boring, tedious, and infuriating all at once: I recommend an I Spy book for a much better time.
While Aliens: Dark Descent adds an interesting RTS-twist to the typical tactical RPG, and nails the visual aesthetic of the film, the not-quite polished systems and underwhelming plot diminish what could have been one of the best games of the year.
A Little to the Left's DLC continues to turn organizing and cleaning into satisfying puzzles. Find hidden cubbies, hang tools on hooks, and put everything in its place with the Cupboards & Drawers expansion!
Dave the Diver is a gorgeous underwater experience that centers around the beauty and mystery found in the depths of the sea. It's packed full of mechanics, some better than others, but its central dives truly shine.
Layers of Fear is an enjoyable walk through a hall of mirrors that reflects your inner nightmares, but there isn't much to hold on to outside of the cheap thrills and flashing lights.
The Bookwalker truly made me feel like the driving force of a narrative, with an engaging central relationship and a mystery that kept me turning to the last page.
Daydream: Forgotten Sorrow looks to be a graphically stunning game that could reach the heights of its inspiration, but can only dream to do so because the rest of the game can’t quite reach the high bar set by its visual and art direction.
Fall of Porcupine is a beautiful and haunting narrative game drenched in mystery that any cozy game fan will love.
While it doesn't offer much new to management games, Nova Lands perfects and streamlines automation in a variety of clever ways.
Silicon City is a mediocre city builder with unintuitive UI design, tedious downtimes during gameplay, and frustrating performance issues on the larger maps.
Tiny Thor successfully captures the spirit of retro puzzle platformers while injecting its own unique twist, but it’s a classic example of a game that is easy to pick up but hard to master.
Dordogne is an intimate adventure that reminds us how important the small moments in life can be.
With three different ways to play, Street Fighter 6 delivers an engaging experience for both long-term fans and folks jumping on now.
Greyhill Incident's only redeeming quality is that, with a two hour playthrough time, the misery doesn't last for long.
Oozing with both charm and challenge, Candle Knight ticks all the boxes for a captivating action platformer. Dynamic gameplay, atmospheric visuals, and the unique ignis system make it a must-play for fans of the genre.
For fans of the original System Shock, this remake delivers a faithful recreation of that game. But for newcomers, it's arguably a little too faithful to the original and ends up feeling outdated.
Harmony shows off DONTNOD's narrative chops with unconvential storytelling, unique deicison mechanics, and stellar character designs.
Mask of the Rose is a wickedly clever romance/mystery hybrid with an intriguing setting, a twisty story, unique mechanics, and an open approach that is accepting of all genders and identities.
Although there isn’t much horror in Homebody, the puzzles and atmosphere make the game a great experience that’s worth checking out.
Great use of an inventive central mechanic and tight combat make Nocturnal a fun, short romp that's worth exploring.
