Fullbright’s followup to 2013’s Gone Home is similarly focused on narrative, but it presents it in an innovative way that thinks outside the audio-log and written-note box. This novel approach to narration has players see holographic re-enactments of events in 3D space, a leap above hearing audio log entries or reading journals. Despite this unique take on narrative, Tacoma is mostly uninteresting. It has a simple structure to explore and a routine storyline. There are some interesting twists at the end but these do not make the game more rewarding.
Ion Fury is a high-energy, action-packed retro ride with great gameplay, level design, visuals and audio. It's a reminder that great old-school design is forever.
Amid Evil is a superb first-person shooter crafted in the classic style, and a more than worthy spiritual successor to Heretic. But it's more than either of those things: it is its own masterpiece, an instant classic for all times.
Pikuniku is a short and sweet experience that's fun, simple, engaging, and smooth. I can recommend it to just about anyone.
