If you’re an Ed McMillen fan, you gotta pick this up. The games vary a lot and it’s hard to critique what are essentially chapters in an autobiography.

Arguably the grand-daddy of modern rogue-likes. Ed McMillen hones his tradmarked style of absurd, funny darkness in this virtually infinitely replayable & deep, fucked up world. Must play.

Extremely funny and clever - a ‘must play’ that elevated meta content in video games to still unmatched heights.

The seventh entry in the ‘Citizen Abel’ series of games, and probably my favourite. It’s very short (10-15 minutes) but absolutely worth it. I wish there were more games like Thirty Flights.

Proof that graphical fidelity are not required to tell a good story and have engaging characters. Good platforming puzzles too.

Transistor is a bold, beautiful masterpiece. Turn-based strategic combat which is fun and challenging punctuate an absolutely gorgeous, bittersweet story with typically great Supergiant dialog and VA.

If you’re into challenging platformers this is a must buy. At times the difficulty feels artificial, but overall it’s extremely solid. Prepare yourself for frustration if not rage.
