The Holy Gosh Darn

A more foul-mouthed and oddball take on gameplay similar to The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Killer Frequency

While perhaps its VR-ish setting is only minimally functional, the parts that deliver like the voice acting, suspense, and humor work wonderfully

THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD: Remake

Ah, the classic arcade light gun genre, remembered fondly for how bonkers it could be and a bit less positively for how ...

UnMetal

FRAMED Collection

While its comic book-style presentation is clean and outstanding it’s the unusual gameplay in both Framed and its sequel...

The Pale Beyond

While certainly quite text heavy, this sea-faring survival adventure sports strong character development and moral quandaries aplenty

Steel Defier

A tight and generally pretty smart take on the dodge-em-up that manages to impress at its pretty humble budget price

Tamarak Trail

A smart and challenging take on a roguelike deck builder that instead decides to roll the dice for luck

Lil' Guardsman

For once a game that somewhat picks up the Papers, Please torch has managed to do something cool with it

Stealth games, in general, usually aren’t my bag for whatever reason but while El Hijo heavily involves that me...

Figment 2: Creed Valley

While perhaps a bit too similar to the original, and only weighing in at a little over a handful of hours, it still has loads of charm

Rage Swarm

A surprisingly well-implemented and intense auto-shooter that has a steady challenge curve and great gun-slinging action

Depths of Sanity

An absolutely distinctive approach to Metroidvania play, though possibly not for everyone

Oxytone

Undoubtedly a unique concept, presenting a mix of both strategic and puzzle challenges

A throwback to the likes of Mario Golf and its ilk that knows what it wants to be and thoroughly delivers

From an “elevator pitch” angle there’s something great about being able to cite popular and success...

What the Dub?!

Just because a puzzle game is pretty simple in its design doesn’t mean it can’t be challenging and even m...

A Little Golf Journey

Part golf game, part puzzler, A Little Golf Journey is hard to put in a pre-defined box. Rather than being dominated wit...
