Genre: Role-playing (RPG)

Tactical RPG storyboard with fantastic characters, artstyle and music. Quite challenging at times, which fits with its dramatic, larger than life tone. Doesn’t outstay it’s welcome. Really good.

Supergiant’s debut game, and what a game it is. A 2D isometric RPG which is tonnes of fun, has gorgeous visuals, a great soundtrack and famously brilliant narration. Must play.

A fresh and lastingly influential take on the broadly tired shooter genre. Decent gunplay is offset by the audio/visual and narrative masterpiece that surround it.

One of the best loot-shooters ever. Terrific writing by Anthony Burch, with memorable moments and characters. Awesome co-op experience, definitely a must-play.

The gunplay, loot and world design and graphics are all excellent (and still stand-up in 2018), but the characters, bosses and story leave a little to be desired. Worth a buy, especially the sequel.

One of, if not the best couch co-op games around. Classic beat-em-up sidescrolling action with great design and super fun combat.

Genuinely beautiful visuals and music and an engaging enough story to distract from otherwise pretty standard turnbased RPG gameplay.

I’d recommend this to anyone who played the original way back in the day. Nowadays this doesn’t stand up too well, but if you’re able to get some nostalgia from it, it does the job.

A good game, but not a great Souls game. While there are some mechanical improvements, Dark Souls II is the buffet to it’s predecessors fine dining: lots of content, but none of it very good.

A game ahead of its time. Gritty steampunk setting and a gorgeous art style. Primarily a stealth game but the level design coupled with the player abilities make for lots of creative approaches.
