A seamless meeting of real-time microeconomics, absurdist humor, amazing character work, and a thrilling mystery lands Promise Mascot Agency among my favorite games of all time.
Old Skies' story telling is some of the best I have seen, but it is often overshadowed by the finicky game mechanics.
Steel Seed has hints of an enjoyable story and fun platforming, stealth, and action gameplay, but suffers from pacing and progression to the point that the experience could not be saved even by the great visual and sound design.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves enters the fray with an old-school mentality and youthful energy that can provide the kind of fighting game experience many people are looking for on the current scene.
Tempest Rising is the spiritual successor to old school Command & Conquer games that even the franchise itself couldn't recreate. It looks and sounds absolutely fantastic and, with two memorable story campaigns and deep and challenging strategy gameplay, it's the perfect example of what a modern RTS should look like.
Chains Of Freedom promises a lot both mechanically and narratively, but fails to deliver. Functional, but not exactly fun - there are better options out there for getting your tactical RPG fix.
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.
Cataclismo is a fun and satisfying single-player strategy game with a fantastic build mode, beautiful art style, and multiple game modes to play for dozens of hours.
The games of Texas hold'em poker All in Abyss: Judge the Fake are fun for a while but become tiresome thanks to a lack of innovation and a reliance on luck. The writing isn't doing much to pick up the slack either.
Ixion
Even as a console port, IXION is a miserable experience. Obtuse systems, bad narrative design, an all-too short campaign which grinds the player's face in misanthropic loathing - none of it is worth the price tag.
Haste masters the feeling of speed, focusing on preserving momentum and tight controls, so much so that its uninspired roguelite structure and story never really impact the enjoyment of gameplay.
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.
