FYI

If you like this franchise, you’ll almost certainly love this. The usual mindless fun in spades. UI and some mechanics are often overwhelming in volume, and combat is typically spammy and forgiving.

Interesting, short little mood piece. Sadly feels a little transparent or pretentious at times, but worth a look if you’re into these kinds of games.

Intriguing episodic narrative adventure. The setting, characters, writing and RPG elements are all quite strong - but they’re often offset by clunky controls and hollow decisions/outcomes.

A very imperfect and quite buggy, but still worth-playing soulslike. While it lacks polish, it’s very sincere and has some interesting ideas. Bosses are a bit simple/easy. Combat is a bit clunky.

Extremely promising during beta, and remains modest (but never dull) at release. A good example of how to take on soulslikes, with great atmosphere & fresh ideas, but often clunky and repetitive.

Devolver are crazy, man. Love ‘em.

Was super excited to jump into this intriguing and excellently crafted Bladerunner-esque world, but soon felt a bit underwhelmed by the gameplay loop. Still a fun (and huge) world to explore.

Probably one of the most Internet™ things ever. Pretty well made, but expectedly obnoxious and tiresome at times.

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.

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.
