Tempest Rising is the spiritual successor to old school Command & Conquer games that even the franchise itself couldn't recreate. It looks and sounds absolutely fantastic and, with two memorable story campaigns and deep and challenging strategy gameplay, it's the perfect example of what a modern RTS should look like.
Combine a bizarre hidden gem from Atari's arcade days with all the wonderful signature elements of Llamasoft and you have yourself a truly elevated gem of a puzzle shooter.
Inhuman Resources: A Literary Machination hits at the fears of every job seeker to provide a horror experience that has no equal.
Sacre Bleu is a 2D Action Platformer with challenging platforming and navigation and fast-paced combat. The charming portrayal of the French Revolution creates the perfect backdrop for the unapologetic fun and excitement that the game offers.
Chains Of Freedom promises a lot both mechanically and narratively, but fails to deliver. Functional, but not exactly fun - there are better options out there for getting your tactical RPG fix.
Blue Prince is an extraordinary achievement in puzzle games and its scale is incomprehensible and unlike anything I've seen in this genre before. This game is more than just a journey of an heir claiming his inheritance.
The games of Texas hold'em poker All in Abyss: Judge the Fake are fun for a while but become tiresome thanks to a lack of innovation and a reliance on luck. The writing isn't doing much to pick up the slack either.
Cataclismo is a fun and satisfying single-player strategy game with a fantastic build mode, beautiful art style, and multiple game modes to play for dozens of hours.
Even as a console port, IXION is a miserable experience. Obtuse systems, bad narrative design, an all-too short campaign which grinds the player's face in misanthropic loathing - none of it is worth the price tag.
There is nothing genuinely praiseworthy or notable about Detective - The Test. It's not a game. It's barely an idea for a game. This low-effort, uninspired, and unappealing project may be the latest in a long line of similar titles, but it shouldn't be.
The Darkest Files is a satisfying courtroom game with a somber tone and serious subject matter. But even more than that, it's an important reminder of a dark time in history that is more relevant now than ever.
Elroy and the Aliens has a great concept and gameplay with many funny moments, but lacks in many ways.
While Atomfall's ending left some significant questions unanswered, it is immensely fun to play. With multiple avenues to explore in this gorgeously crafted world and a quest system that doesn't hold your hand, it really feels like the story is in the player's hands.
Karma: The Dark World rises above the crowd of psychological horror indie games thanks to outstanding imagery that showcases endless creativity and technical execution that punches way above its weight class.
Breakout Beyond is a minimalistic, vibey light show rendition of a classic casual game that proves there is plenty of artful spirit in Atari's blocky classics, even though it could do with more unique levels.
Expelled! is a fun murder mystery that sometimes frustrates you but brings you back from the brink of quitting the game in its entirety once you get the hang of it.
YOUR HOUSE is a brilliantly creative text-based narrative puzzle game that uses every tool at its disposal to remain as interactive as possible while still delivering a great narrative in the form of a digitized novel.
Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark boasts a large world to explore and plenty of fun combat options, but it does have a few minor design decisions that make me scratch my head.
I expected nothing less than a masterpiece with Split Fiction, and yet my expectations were still exceeded. Play this game immediately.
Reignbreaker adds a new twist to roguelikes with its fun storytelling and gameplay this is a must play for anyone who loves medieval steampunk.
