Missile Command Delta is a successful reinvention of the arcade classic, resurrecting the fears of a Cold War turned hot for a new generation. Its turn-based deck building system has the depth strategy enthusiasts will demand, while the exploratory adventure segments, though not overly challenging, tie the scenario together in...
Horses
Life on the farm can be a chore, but Horses is a smart but thematically grotesque horror experience that will unnerve players and leave them with a lingering unease long after the credits have rolled.
Its numerous gameplay systems vary widely in depth, but even at its shallowest, Tides of Tomorrow is a fun, beautiful game with some great ideas and a unique implementation of multiplayer in an otherwise solo experience.
Lara’s last three adventures from Core Design play differently enough from the first trilogy that serious fans will want to check them out.

Eternal Threads is an empowering yet equally unsettling voyeuristic adventure. It can be overwhelming trying to keep track of all the loose threads of time you’re able to weave, but even at its most challenging moments, it’s never less than a deeply immersive, character-driven time travel mystery.
