Disco Elysium is a mercilessly deep RPG, both in terms of its well-written world and the sheer volume of decisions it tracks.
Death Stranding is a breathtaking experience only marred by some unnecessary combat and a story that is often more complex than it should be.

Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair dials back expectations for the better in this more focused sequel.
