Abyssus

8/10

Abyssus is a fast-paced game to play with your friends. It perfectly balances gameplay for those who just want to reach the end vs. those who want to challenge themselves.

Abiotic Factor

9/10

Abiotic Factor is a standout example of the survival game genre with plenty of player freedom and a killer blend of dark humor and silly hijinks.

Dead Take

8/10

This short jaunt through a haunted mansion leads you through entertaining puzzles, even if you're not quite sure why you're there, but will entice you further with a deeper mystery about the abuse of power in the entertainment industry.

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound

9.5/10

Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound is an adrenaline-pumping action platformer with killer pixel art and fast-paced gameplay. Levels are challenging -- especially in hard mode -- and bosses are not to be underestimated. Stages feel dynamic and always have something new to offer, so I was hooked from start to finish.

Tales of the Shire

7/10

Tales of the Shire has a lot to enjoy for Lord of the Rings fans and cozy gamers alike, but several key problems hold the game back from its potential.

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers

8.5/10

Wuchang: Fallen Feathers has most of the right ingredients of a fantastic action RPG, and adds its own refreshing takes on the Soulslike subgenre. The combat, accessible weapons and spells, punishing bosses, and stunning views are absolute standouts, but the story is slightly less desirable and at times, challenging to...

Donkey Kong: Bananza

9/10

Donkey Kong Bananza is an incredible iteration and spin on the Odyssey formula creating another incredible first-party experience. The world destruction did rob some of the challenge of the world, but it was a smaller percentage of the time.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4

9.5/10

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is a faithful recreation of the original with all of the bells and whistles of a modern-day port. Smoother gameplay, new levels, and new goals make this a perfect THPS game for new and old fans alike.

Islanders: New Shores

6.5/10

It's cute in its minimalism, and remedial in its gameplay loop, yet despite promising to find that je ne sais quoi in the future, Islanders: New Shores doesn't have it now.

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster

10/10

System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster is engrossing, deep, and atmospheric. It's a game that has aged marvelously, but even so, Nightdive's efforts in remastering this classic makes it more accessible than ever before.

Ruffy and the Riverside

7/10

Ruffy and the Riverside's swapping mechanic is great fun, but I wish it would shut up and give me more organic opportunities to use that mechanic.

Rematch

7/10

Rematch evokes the nostalgic feelings of the glorious FIFA Street days by revitalizing arcade football with casual and ranked multiplayer modes that allow players to delve in. While the developer has future content planned for the game, the game is being marred by a myriad of technical issues that impact...
