I Am Dead
An inescapably charming 3D puzzle game with many hidden surprises, I Am Dead's low-pressure treasure hunt and sense of fun is another good tonic for trying times. Being dead is, it turns out, jolly old time.
Pendragon
Inkle's marriage of Arthurian storytelling and turn-based strategy is elegant and replayable - if, perhaps, a little opaque at times.
Post Void
Sure, I remember the Reservoir Dogs-ish tentacly not-men in suits, and that they switch to Hotline Miami style white suits later. I remember some bitey things chasing me on tottering legs. There are flying manhack things, but they could look like anything. I am aware of what I'm doing, but...
Star Renegades
So yeah, it has more than a bit of roughness to it. But hoo boy, do I admire its spirit, its extra-ness, its enthusiasm for small-scale RPG design. It feels like somebody put a lasso around the neck of a snorting Disgaea game and corralled it into a pen with...
Paradise Killer
A tough but super stylish investigate 'em up that'll have you dancing all the way to the murder trial. Probably through some blood from a ritual massacre. But that massacre was a legal one, you can ignore it.
Tell Me Why
The pacing makes this one a very slow burn, but Tell Me Why is a good entry into Dontnod's library of stories about families and sad magic.
Wasteland 3
A lengthy, story-driven RPG set in a wacky, post-nuclear snowscape full of turn-based tactical gunfights.
No Straight Roads
No Straight roads would be a fun enough music-snob rhythm-action game if it was just the cool bosses, but the wonky platforming sections let it down.
Spiritfarer
Spiritfarer's cosy management is a thousand acts of kindness, beautifully done. It will make you sad, but it even does that in a kind way.
Mortal Shell
A moody action RPG deeply inspired by Dark Souls that offers plenty of interesting ideas, but they struggle to outweigh its flaws.
Fight Crab
Fight Crab is a brilliant execution of a superbly simple joke, and also a complete nightmare.
Maid of Sker
Maid Of Sker has a creepy story and great music, but in trying too hard to be scary, it ends up less so.
