Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is an immensely enjoyable fantasy RPG that doesn’t have as much remastered content as it could, but one that’s still well worth a purchase for anyone looking for a change of pace from modern sword and board games.
Microsoft Flight Simulator has enough quality-of-life features to make it well worth a purchase for any virtual pilot, but the ability to fly anywhere on the planet makes for a game that’s uncanny and impossible not to recommend to anyone who’s remotely interested in the view from above.
Willy Morgan and the Curse of Bone Town would’ve been a decent game if it had come out in the nineties, but as one that chose to be released in 2020, it only serves as a reminder of how far games have come in the past thirty years.
SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE is one of a select few games that forces you to earn the right to feel like a demi-god and one that offers the best gameplay this side of its predecessor.
Writing that’s worth wincing at does little to drag down a hyper-relaxing and educational diving game. Beyond Blue lets you take a breath in a medium packed with games that try their hardest to make your blood pressure skyrocket.
SnowRunner’s core gameplay is unique and satisfying, but there are too many simple design flaws to make the game anything more than Death Stranding without the intrigue.
In Other Waters plays like a visual novel with more depth and better graphics, which makes it a perfect game for players to relax in provided they don’t mind coming up with how the game’s creatures look by themselves.
One Step From Eden has an interesting premise, surprisingly deep mechanics and an insane amount of content, but as a result of unfair bosses and no tutorial, it’s a tough sell to anyone who isn’t a diehard fan of the genre.
A solid enough entry into the beat-em-up genre, but one that is only really enjoyable if you’re invested in the One Piece universe.
