While there is not much in the way of gameplay, Sticky Business brings out the joy of being able to freely create.
Exoprimal could have been an exceptionally fun Overwatch successor, but its disgusting monetization and pay-to-win structure have doomed it to extinction.
Jagged Alliance 3 restores the glory, guts, and joy to a tactical RPG series too long abused. Realistic weapons mix with nail-biting combat, larger-than-life characters, and a challenge so good, you'll be begging for another hit.
Frank and Drake lures you in with its interesting rotoscoping animations, but fails to deliver on story and gameplay.
With its mind-numbingly tedious combat, clumsy dialogue and a storyline which sounds like it's still an early draft, Testament’s greatest crime is that it severely outstayed its welcome.
While there are some design flaws, they can be easily overlooked by the great storytelling and level design.
While slightly too short, what content Viewfinder does have is top notch and occasionally mind bending, matched with a bittersweet but relatable story about friendship, failure, and hope.
Oxenfree II didn't knock my socks off like the first game, but it's a smartly written and thrilling sequel to one of my favorite adventure games ever.
GYLT is packed with great atmosphere, music, and spooks galore, but the juvenile theming leaves the narrative wanting.
Master Detective Archives: Rain Code offers truly compelling mysteries in a unique cyberpunk-noir setting. The open world concept falls somewhat flat, but the crimes and puzzles themselves definitely deliver!
Despite issues with ambiguity in terms of story and gameplay mechanics, SOULVARS manages to shine as a solid and rewarding experience for those willing to invest the time to master its intricacies.
Tai's trusty cricket bat hits a respectable over in this short and sweet dungeon crawler that'll scratch that back-to-basics itch.
Amarantus is more than a visual novel—it’s a spectacular story with beautiful visuals, ever-changing ambiance, and a unique cast of characters who come to life.
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.
