Foregone
With stunning pixel-art graphics, solid combat, and a considerable amount of character customization, you can easily sink a few hours into Foregone, maybe more if you delve into more challenging difficulty levels. However, if you’re looking for a complex Metroidvania full of backtracking and deep lore, I would look elsewhere....
Encodya
As a massive fan of Blade Runner, Studio Ghibli, and Monkey Island, I was let down by the derivative nature of Encodya. What’s most disappointing is that it’s obvious how much care and love went into its development. The visuals look spectacular, the central character relationship is touching, and the...

If you’re looking for something to scratch that Ace Attorney itch, Murder by Numbers will do the job nicely! The music and effects will sound instantly familiar, and the basic mechanics are great as well. The game brings a lot of its own style to the table, with more mature...
Her Story
Her Story beautifully accomplishes what every adventure game sets out to do: make the player alternately feel like a genius and an idiot. It can be teeth-grindingly frustrating when you can’t track down a three-second piece of footage, but you’ll feel like a pro detective when you finally hit upon...
The Outer Worlds is a triumph for Obsidian Entertainment and AA games in general. They set out to create a successor to New Vegas and succeeded on every conceivable level. Every mechanic I loved from that game, including the stunningly robust faction system, has been taken to new heights. Sure,...
In the end, Whispers of a Machine simply tells an engaging detective tale about a series of murders in a small town. While it doesn’t break any new ground with its narrative, it makes for an enjoyable time as you explore Nordsund and learn about the people who live there....
Link’s Awakening for Switch is like a wonderful dream that you never want to end, even though you know it must. It leaves everything remarkable about the original intact while adding in quality-of-life features, a jaw-dropping new art style, and a beautifully remixed and orchestrated soundtrack. Even though the addition...
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic is one of those games that all RPG and Star Wars fans should play. Despite its early 2000s pedigree, you would be hard pressed to find a game with more polish and thought put into its systems and design. No matter if you...
In the end, SteamWorld Quest feels much more like a polished mobile game than a console RPG. This game is not too long, pleasant, and fun to play in short bursts. But those looking for deep character growth, an explorable world, and a compelling story should look elsewhere (possibly at...
Wargroove
Wargroove might look like a simple throwback to classic turn-based strategy games of old, but looks can be deceiving. Underneath the charming graphics, engaging story, engrossing sound design, and bountiful extras, you will find an expertly-balanced experience that can measure up to anything else in its genre today. Chucklefish has...
West of Loathing is a rare treat of a video game — one that compels you to restart it immediately after you finish. With some of the best comedic writing ever found in an RPG and a truly unique and timeless visual style, you’re going to have a hard time...
