Super Mario Party Jamboree has a great selection of boards, tons of characters, and more side modes than I can count, but this lack of focus on the main party mode has harmed the overall package. If you love Mario Party, this game has an excellent main mode, but the...
Silent Hill 2 brings a classic horror game back in an impressive way. Despite over 20 years of time passing, the story still feels poignant and unique in video games. As someone who never played the original, but has heard people sing its praises, Silent Hill 2 delivers on those,...

Funko Fusion seemed to have potential with the LEGO games having much longer development cycles than they used to, but dull gameplay and mindless third-person shooting remove any fun that could have been had here. The tone and smattering of franchises from different genres don’t gel well with the gameplay...
Astro Bot is nothing short of a masterpiece. Every aspect of it is thoughtfully crafted by people who love video games in an earnest and passionate way. Every level has unique items, with fun secrets to find, paired with platforming that feels spectacular. It’s fun from start to finish and...

The level design and normal enemies leave much to be desired and there are plenty of technical hiccups throughout the experience, but the overall journey...
Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers has many of the characteristics of an excellent deckbuilder roguelike. It has a large variety of cards, which vary wildly in power and impact of each round, that you can assemble as you move through the casino. The game makes plenty of smart changes to blackjack...
Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn is a short romp of a revenge quest, offering a trite story that isn’t overbearing. Its combat has a few unique ideas and does sing when you follow the loop exactly, but the seams show often in the form of imprecise hit boxes and animations....
Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus
Bō: Path of the Teal Lotus does excel in two areas, art and most boss fights. The game’s hand drawn art looks incredible, with each new area offering new styles to look at. It looks great in motion when moving through it and when you are in a stationary area,...
Another Crab's Treasure blends hardcore action with 3D platforming to create a special undersea adventure.
How Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged brings plenty of small improvements but doesn't fundamentally change much from the original.
