The natural world is a big part of LEGO Voyagers, but the game doesn't view the encroachment of modern technology with particular skepticism. It's suffused with the STEM fascination that has always surrounded the LEGO brand, simplifying the world of machinery into something that can enthuse a five-year-old. Playing through...
There's also no shortage of risk-reward elements, and leaning into specific offensive capabilities tends to come with interesting costs. A frequent build-up of Madness makes you take more damage from enemy attacks, but it also opens up plenty of opportunities in your skill tree, giving you a greater chance to...
FBC: Firebreak
Each of the five stages comes in three clearance levels, starting with a tutorial version and progressing to two additional iterations. While all three clearance levels of a job start in the same area and present the same basic objective, each one unlocks a new door to continue deeper. Firebreak's...
Midway through my fourth game of Civ 7, I forced myself to go to bed to squeeze in a minimally appropriate amount of sleep before work. When I woke up in the morning, my first thought was that I wanted to keep building my empire, and that's when I finally...

The Invincible
The Invincible is something of an ensemble novel, but the game jumps to a different perspective entirely to unfold the world for a singular character. The only notable relationship in the original work is between the novel's protagonist Rohan and his ship's astrogator, and some of the core underpinnings of...
Full Void
The gameplay of Full Void is ultimately playing second fiddle to the aesthetic experience, a task accomplished with more competence than ingenuity. Like the narrative progression, puzzle elements are neatly emergent, with each area of the game presenting new concepts that iterate into increasingly complex solutions. Everything caps at a...
Park Beyond
Many elements of Park Beyond's gameplay might feel familiar to Planet Coaster players, with the game taking a similar approach to modernizing the experience found in classics like the RollerCoaster Tycoon series. Mapping out and building up a park is typically intuitive in a similar way, and the cartoony 3D...
Tin Hearts is thankfully aware of where many points of frustration might arise in its gameplay. Levels let players loop soldiers whenever working on adjustments in real time is necessary, and most of the difficulty comes from sorting out the order of operations and application of resources rather than obtuse...
