Chronique des Silencieux is a compelling mystery with genuinely interesting twists and an amazing story - but the frustrating gameplay and lack of guide system sometimes holds it back.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is one of the very best metroidvanias of modern times that revives a fan-favorite franchise with a new coat of paint. Let's hope this means there's a bright future awaiting.
Graven tries a little too hard to bring back the glories of early 90s shooters and gets the look right, but doesn't seem to realize the gameplay's retrograde complications dampen the potential enthusiasm.
The Cub is a step sideways for Demagog Studio, with middling platforming stages, forgettable collectibles and underwhelming set pieces lifted up only by the signature Radio Nostalgia.
Sovereign Syndicate does something impossible: it makes the notion of an urban fantasy Victorian England with Jack The Ripper boring and tedious. Visually impressive, narratively godawful, this is one tour through Whitechapel you can safely skip.
Momodora: Moonlit Farewell is beautifully presented metroidvania with gorgeous pixel art and an equally mesmerizing soundtrack, which combine to manifest melancholy right into your heart.
War Hospital is ineffective when it comes to its story's relationship with death, while also failing to impress with its uneventful, buggy management sim gameplay.
Atlas Wept is poignant in some ways, but hollow in others. Hard to recommend, but not misguided. Mechanically sound, but emotionally confused. Hopefully not the last project from the developer.
There's plenty of fun to be had with The Finals' fast-paced gameplay, but it might just be a little too generic to survive in the long run.
Fans of House Flipper will inevitably love House Flipper 2 as it vastly improves on nearly every mechanic of its predecessor. Creating a more immersive and satisfying experience with better visuals and more room for creativity.
With multiple playable characters, responsive gameplay and excellent procedurally generated levels to explore, Trinity Fusion definitely scratches that action-roguelike itch and promises to provide more in the very near future.
While there are some nice visuals, story progression and gameplay tend to drag its feet at times. Still worth a taste-test, however.
While lacking in story and heart, the life sim and city building mechanics enable players to use beloved Disney characters and decorations to truly design a whole new world.
Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader delivers the sort of space opera CRPG we didn't know we needed. From excellent visuals to combat and character systems so detailed it almost hurts, Rogue Trader will keep CRPG players busy for a very long time.
Bahnsen Knights is a high-speed horror thriller that plumbs the depths of a car-obsessed cult and its fanatical "Messiah" in a story that's a little bit The Stand, a little bit Mad Max, and all terrifying.
Born of Bread will leave you giggling at baking puns and feeling like a top shelf hero. I haven’t experienced this much fun from a game in a long time.
Cities: Skylines II has an extensive system that lets you control every aspect of a city's growth. Unfortunately some aspects could use more explanation and the graphic requirements are high, making it tough to get started.
A Highland Song is a beautiful adventure, platforming and rhythm game that perfectly captures the joy of exploration and the magic of a journey through the wild, untamed Scottish Highlands.
A collection of obscure Jurassic Park games that adds a unique bug and is lacking options may not sound very appealing, but it does allow for personal re-examination through an overall successful preservation.
Few games this year deserve a spotlight as much as In Stars and Time does. It is undoubtedly going to end up as many people's favorite thanks to its dedication and commitment to a unique vision.
