Best in class 2D metroidvania with crisp controls and challenging but fair combat. Unforgettable music, characters and world - Hollow Knight is one of the most well executed games ever made.

Hauntingly beautiful, tight controls and an atmospheric world. Hyper Light Drifter is a great example of how to do top-down adventure standing on the shoulders of giants like Zelda and Dark Souls.

One of the few modern co-op games requiring ACTUAL co-operation. Charming, challenging and fun on the couch with a friend.

Nioh transcends its soulslike roots by adding successful new ideas like stances in combat and Guardian Spirits. Enemies and environments become repetitive after a while, but worth the price of entry.

OXENFREE won’t be for everyone, but genuinely does a great job in it’s portrayal of characters that has traditionally been fraught with cringe. Great music, storytelling and engaging decision making.

Very on rails, but very satisfying and fun. Repetitive at times, but does what it sets out to do very well: tell a decent story and make you feel like a badass.
