Boasting intelligently designed puzzles and a gripping narrative based around powerful themes of isolation and identity, Q.U.B.E: Director's Cut is an excellent addition to the puzzle genre.
Sunk by lacklustre gameplay, cliched storytelling and technical hiccups, Submerged is one of the biggest missed opportunities in recent memory.
While it may lack the MLB license, Super Mega Baseball: Extra Innings provides an MVP-caliber experience thanks to its satisfyingly sound gameplay and charming presentation.
The uncompromisingly brutal difficulty of The Swindle will turn many off, but for those up to the challenge, the reward of thrilling thievery could very well be worth the effort.

If you're willing to look past its brief length, Leo's Fortune is a cleverly designed and gorgeously rendered example of platforming gold.
The occasional groan-worthy joke and technical hiccup may turn some off, but underneath those issues, Zombie Vikings is a mechanically solid and visually vibrant throwback brawler.
