My worries for such a fundamental shift, turning Darkest Dungeon into a roguelite, are completely quashed. Its predecessors brutal, punishing heart is still here, inside an absolute masterclass in presentation.

See: 2018 Spider-Man. It’s more of the same - not a bad thing.

A fantastic potential (but-probably-not) conclusion for the Norse God of War reimagining. Stunning to look at, pretty well written, and driven along by beefy, satisfying combat. A bit on rails and unsurprising at times, but a cool game regardless.

Very clever minimalist puzzler. Relaxing music under a compelling concept carried through a good amount of levels considering it was a gamejam submission.

An atmospherically unique experience with gorgeously disgusting Giger-eque art direction. I almost wish it stuck to walking & puzzles, because everything else just gets in the way. Short but good.

A very arcadey gamejam entry with waves of enemies and online leaderboards - simple, addictive, fun and clever. Can’t help but like the silly, punny title and theme too.

Clever, unique game with lots to like. Core gameplay loop is solid & the unlocks are meaningful. Art, sound and especially music are all fantastic. All quality, but quantity may leave some wanting.

Visually stunning & a good step forward for the Quantic formula: multiple characters and branching narratives. The world is cool, but its thesis is a bit heavy-handed at times.

One of the best games of its generation and a shining example of how to do reboots creatively and exceedingly well. Great characters, story, combat and world. Super ambitious and pulls it all off.

For me, does relatively well to recapture the lightning in a bottle that was Subnautica. Super polished and great to look at. Compelling world to explore, lots to do. Definitely more fun with friends.
