Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is a visually gorgeous slog of a game that lacks a plot until over halfway through and characters that no amount of cute hangouts could make me like.
Blue Prince is an extraordinary achievement in puzzle games and its scale is incomprehensible and unlike anything I've seen in this genre before. This game is more than just a journey of an heir claiming his inheritance.
While Atomfall's ending left some significant questions unanswered, it is immensely fun to play. With multiple avenues to explore in this gorgeously crafted world and a quest system that doesn't hold your hand, it really feels like the story is in the player's hands.
Wanderstop has officially pulled me into the cozy game genre and is a beautifully moving game which realistically portrays the long and difficult journey of burnout recovery, while also being as hilarious as you would expect from the creator of The Stanley Parable.
While The Haunting of Joni Evers could have done without the haunting, it tells a touching tale of a woman reconnecting with her estranged family. This is a game that walking sim fans will enjoy.
Among Ashes is among the scariest horror games of the year with some awfully horrific enemy design and ever increasing tension.
While the storyline doesn't quite hit the same as its predecessor which is amplified by the longer gameplay length, The Rise of the Golden Idol still has very engaging gameplay and puzzles. I'm happy to say that I was hooked once again.
Don’t let your worst moment define you. But what if your worst moment has doomed your whole crew? This is the situation we are faced with at the beginning of Wrong Organ’s psychological horror game, Mouthwashing, after Captain Curly attempts to end his life by purposely crashing the The Tulpur, a Pony Express Long-Haul Space Freighter. His attempt was unsuccessful.
Apartment Story isn't perfect but is ideal if you're looking for a short flick that can be completed in one sitting. It features an interesting mix of genres and a story that fits in well with the length, neatly wrapping up at the end.
The Casting of Frank Stone starts off well with an interesting premise and slow build so we can get to know its characters. Unfortunately it spends too much time on this that it forgets about the payoff.
