The Signifier is a roughly five-hour narrative thriller that blends psychological mystery with sci-fi. Players step into the role of Frederick Russell, a psychologist and AI researcher investigating the death of a tech CEO using reconstructed memory data. Set in a believable near-future world, the game explores objective and subjective memory landscapes—surreal, symbolic spaces full of emotional weight and abstract imagery. Though the gameplay is mostly linear and light on puzzles, the story is deeply layered, dealing with themes like trauma, identity, and perception. It’s a slow-burning, thought-provoking experience best suited for players drawn to heavy narrative and introspective exploration.

Ghostrunner is a stylish, ultra-fast cyberpunk action game that blends Mirror’s Edge–style parkour with Hotline Miami–like instant-death combat. You play as a katana-wielding cyborg ninja scaling the dystopian Dharma Tower, slicing enemies with brutal precision while wall-running and dodging bullets in slow motion. The game is visually striking and aurally electrifying, with tight checkpointing to support its trial-and-error loop. Combat arenas are fluid and rewarding, but platforming sections and boss fights often drag down the momentum with frustrating repetition. While not perfect, Ghostrunner is a sleek and challenging thrill ride best suited for players who enjoy punishing, high-skill gameplay.

The game’s pixel art and Finnish-language humor mask an incredibly complex simulation engine that allows for emergent gameplay and wild experimentation. Though death comes swiftly and often, Noita is a roguelite masterpiece that rewards persistence, curiosity, and creativity with jaw-dropping moments and endless replay value.

Among Us is a simple yet gripping social deduction game where crewmates must complete tasks aboard a spaceship while trying to identify the impostor among them—who’s secretly sabotaging and killing. With its cartoonish visuals and eerie sound design, it creates a tense and often hilarious atmosphere. The gameplay thrives on social dynamics: accusations, bluffing, and betrayal are key, especially during emergency meetings. While matches with friends can be thrilling and unforgettable, random online sessions often suffer from unreliable players and chaotic communication. Still, Among Us shines as a clever and accessible party game, especially with a familiar group.

Featuring three classic Mario adventures, this All-Star Collection has enough goodness for a hundred hours of fun. It's just a shame Nintendo has locked it behind a high sticker price and a limited exclusivity period. What the heck?

Port Royale 4 is a well-crafted trading simulation game set in the Caribbean, where players step into the role of a colonial governor balancing commerce, city-building, and occasional naval skirmishes. While not a pirate adventure per se, the game blends economic management with strategic elements, offering a dynamic system for planning trade routes, responding to fluctuating markets, and expanding influence across cities. The intuitive interface, engaging turn-based naval combat, and optional free play mode add depth and variety. Though less swashbuckling than Sid Meier's Pirates!, it’s a solid entry in the economic sim genre, ideal for fans of the Anno series.

With strong writing, 3D presentation, and a melancholic but hopeful tone, it explores themes of letting go and unfinished business. While its largely passive, text-heavy format may not appeal to all players, it’s a standout in the genre for those drawn to reflective storytelling, quirky metaphysics, and bittersweet coffee-fueled farewells.

Röki is charming and full of exquisitely moody touches, yet it rarely picks up enough to completely captivate as it should. It's still worth a playthrough, if only for the wonderful setting and soundtrack.

Death Stranding on PC is a visually enhanced version of Hideo Kojima’s unique post-apocalyptic delivery game, where players traverse vast and treacherous landscapes to reconnect isolated settlements. Playing as Sam Porter Bridges, you’ll balance cargo, scale mountains, evade ghostly BTs, and gradually rebuild a broken world. Despite its slow pace and heavy emphasis on traversal, the game offers deep logistics-based gameplay, stunning visuals, a haunting atmosphere, and an unconventional asynchronous multiplayer. Kojima’s signature quirks—like baby companions, poop grenades, and surprise celebrity cameos—add a surreal edge to an already unforgettable experience.

SELF is a minimalist, experimental indie game that blends text adventure and rhythm minigames to tell a surreal, psychological story about a boy searching for his missing father. The narrative unfolds through dreamlike, nonlinear scenes full of strange encounters and metaphor, often resembling a journey through the character’s subconscious more than a physical world. Simple mechanics, branching paths, and multiple endings encourage replaying the short experience. Despite translation quirks and abstract storytelling, SELF stands out as an introspective, artistic work best appreciated as interactive fiction rather than a traditional game.

Superliminal is a mind-bending first-person puzzle game that plays with forced perspective and optical illusions, challenging players to think far outside the box—if the box even exists. Often compared to Portal, it takes place in surreal dreamscapes layered with shifting mechanics, where objects grow or shrink based on how you perceive them. As the protagonist undergoes dream therapy, the game surprises with new ideas at every turn, balancing playful experimentation with deeper themes about perception and personal growth. Short but brilliantly inventive, Superliminal stands as both a clever game and a memorable piece of interactive art.

Dreamo is a narrative-driven puzzle game where Jack Winslow, trapped in an artificial coma, must unlock repressed memories by solving intricate cube-based puzzles. Each cube contains a single type of challenge: transmitting power from one gear to another using limited tools, all while manipulating the cube in 3D space. As the puzzles grow more complex—with elements like gravity, lasers, and moving components—the game demands sharp spatial reasoning. Beyond its smart mechanics, Dreamo also offers a thoughtful exploration of the subconscious, gradually revealing Jack’s personal traumas. It’s a polished indie title that does a few things very well, making it both intellectually rewarding and emotionally engaging.
