Mixtape is a greatest hits of gameplay, storytelling, music and animation. Its a true work of art that would be a crime not to experience.
Europa Universalis V: Fate of the Phoenix is by no means essential, but those interested will be very pleased.
Even though I found the gameplay loop to be just okay, it's the world that drew me in and kept me totally hooked.
inKONBINI: One Store. Many Stories combines deceptively effective gameplay with some excellent storytelling for a captivating experience that will definitely make you a return customer!
Invincible VS blends the best parts of Marvel vs. Capcom, Mortal Kombat, Injustice and Killer Instinct into a wildly fun, gory 3v3 tag fighter that feels built for Invincible fans, newcomers, lapsed players and FGC pros alike.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Empire City is a game where the effort is clear, yet as a whole, the game doesn't come together in a way that turtles should when fighting crime in VR.
Aphelion isn't a particularly bad game, but its gameplay and story are a little too safe to create an experience that is memorable.
Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth is a short and sweet game that is beautiful to look at and play. The journey through Moominvalley and the characters you meet make the entire experience worth it.
Much like the pottery it's based on, Kiln is a game that has some creativity but is pretty empty on the inside.
SAROS carries that torch and expands on the formula to new heights, introducing an entire ensemble cast of characters that push the narrative further as players unravel the mystery on a new alien planet, Carcosa.
Little Nightmares VR: Altered Echoes is a cool experiment in the Little Nightmares world. I just wish they pushed it a little further because what is here mostly works, it just peaks too early.
Diablo IV: Lord of Hatred brings Mephisto back, along with a staggering amount of new content, a must play for RPG and Diablo fans alike.
Tides of Tomorrow takes an engaging story and utilizes an unbelievably dynamic way of telling it that combines community with player choice for an experience like no other.
Ys Memoire: Revelations in Celceta is another entry into the long-running series of action RPGs by Nihon Falcom, while also serving as a great jumping-off point for newcomers
With its sharp presentation, REPLACED will have you grappling with emotions, and it was well worth the wait.
Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss has some interesting ideas, but it hides them behind poorly explained puzzles and deceptively linear design.
Ground Zero is a bit of a weird one. On some levels, it works incredibly well, mostly in the nostalgic feel and wearing its inspirations on its sleeves.
While Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream offers a lot of the same fun and quirkiness as its predecessor, its commitment to player creativity also sacrifices a lot of what made the 3DS game great.
Opus: Prism Peak is a remarkable, emotionally resonant narrative adventure, worthy of joining the ranks of Life is Strange or The Walking Dead.
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire pulls together some of the most iconic systems and shooter mechanics and wraps them in a highly stylised, rubber-hose inspired art style
