I really liked Oxenfree and was pretty keen for this… and I did enjoy it, but a lot of the comedy didn’t land with me and at times the pacing was pretty drawn out. Would still recommend though.

Roguelite, deckbuilding, dice-rolling fun. Really clever design that surprisingly works a lot better than you’d think. Presentation belies its complexity at times.

Challenging, twitchy bossrush game with the combat elements you’d expect: slash, parry, dash, etc. Boss design is varied and tight, as are the controls. Aesthetics are pretty cool too.

Really, really good co-op game that actually requires co-operation and will test you communication. Graphics and puzzles are much improved here. Great to play with people not that into videogames.

Good co-op game that actually requires co-operation and will test your communication. Decent sequel, but suffers from one players side being a lot more passive.

Strong start to the series - really good co-op game that actually requires co-operation and will test your communication. Great to play with people not that into videogames.

Well, someone sure liked Bioshock! Personally I found this ultimately a little too long, frustrating and disappointing - but overall still very engaging. The visuals and VA are certainly remarkable.

GOTY contender. Visually absolutely stunning, and incredibly cinematic with outstanding direction. Combat is surprisingly fluid and visceral. Story and characters are engaging. Really, really good.

Twitch-bait masochism simulator in the vein of Getting Over It. The simplicity is attractive, but unless you’re into those kind of intentionally frustrating, annoying and difficult games - stay away.

If you like mind-bending puzzlers like Antichamber or Superliminal, this is a must play. Its minimal visuals are exquisite, the sound design is perfect and the music is even handy to gauge progress.
