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.

More of the same from the Far Cry formula; which is still strong and fun - assuming there’s an engaging world & plot, as there is here. Not quite as strong as #3, but worth playing.

A simple but mostly well executed puzzle game with an interesting story, a good level of variety and great soundtrack.

At the time a very unique perspective on the horror game wherein you play as a toddler. Thematically it’s pretty strong, it’s tense but not overly scary, quite short and worth a buy if on sale.

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 beautiful, dark and immersive alternate reality with characters you’ll be sad to leave behind. A brave successor that pulls it off and has genuinely jaw-dropping moments.

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.
