Bahnsen Knights is a high-speed horror thriller that plumbs the depths of a car-obsessed cult and its fanatical "Messiah" in a story that's a little bit The Stand, a little bit Mad Max, and all terrifying.
Born of Bread will leave you giggling at baking puns and feeling like a top shelf hero. I haven’t experienced this much fun from a game in a long time.
Cities: Skylines II has an extensive system that lets you control every aspect of a city's growth. Unfortunately some aspects could use more explanation and the graphic requirements are high, making it tough to get started.
A Highland Song is a beautiful adventure, platforming and rhythm game that perfectly captures the joy of exploration and the magic of a journey through the wild, untamed Scottish Highlands.
A collection of obscure Jurassic Park games that adds a unique bug and is lacking options may not sound very appealing, but it does allow for personal re-examination through an overall successful preservation.
Few games this year deserve a spotlight as much as In Stars and Time does. It is undoubtedly going to end up as many people's favorite thanks to its dedication and commitment to a unique vision.
Remnant II: The Awakened King gives players a new adventure beyond the Worldstone with new loot and a new Archetype. What it doesn't give is a good reason why you should play it other than the fact you bought it.
Orten Was The Case is a clever time loop story that delivers with the right expectations, but suffers by its commitment to wonky movement and a lack of commitment to an emotional narrative
With equal parts heart, art, and spark, Invincible Presents: Atom Eve is a short and sweet visual novel that both new and existing fans of the series will have a ball with.
Pixel Cafe is fun but it is not especially ground-breaking. Fans of time managament simulators will most likely enjoy the experience.
Good for genre veterans and even better for newbies, Steamworld Build is a steamlined, silly, and smooth city-builder that's fun from the first foundation block to the last keystone.
Evolving naturally from the experiences of Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Spider-Man 2 offers an experience with a bigger NYC, a bigger story with bigger stakes, and bigger, deadlier foes than ever before.
The Pale Reach is as good a reason as any to dip back into one of the best indie games of the year, but it falters in a lack of content, interesting narrative, and scares.
Tight platforming puzzle challenges, an intriguing story and gorgeous visuals are held back by turned-based combat that feels not yet fully formed.
Robocop: Rogue City scores with some of the most fun gameplay I've come across this year, and sometimes that's all you need to be a great game.
Little Goody Two Shoes is a whimsical fairy tale with sinister moments that delights and disturbs in equal measures.
While Loddlenaut failed to make me care about its cute fish in the long run, it ultimately delivered a poignant, memorable message, while also delivering on its promise of cozy underwater cleaning gameplay.
A deadly and delightful dance of blood and unholy darkness, The Last Faith is an enjoyable Metroidvania that honors its inspirations while being a fun time in its own right.
For as satisfying as Jusant’s core gameplay loop can be, its narrative and important message becomes lost in the background of a world's history which I otherwise wanted to be entranced by, beyond just its striking visuals.
YOU WILL DIE HERE TONIGHT takes everything we loved from Resident Evil (1996) while changing the bits that haven’t aged so well.
