Anamorphine
In truth, there is some good use of visual metaphors signaling how someone with depression closes themselves off from others, and how one’s mental state decays when faced with trauma. These good moments are few and mostly clumped together in the game’s final moments, when things start to ramp up....
Mothergunship
Once the campaign’s over, Mothergunship offers more difficult levels to grind. Given how they’re just about the right length, dipping in for short sessions of fast-paced action continues to feel satisfying. But even so, the repeating room layouts and enemy compositions don’t take long to make themselves noticed, adding an...
Vampyr
There were few moments in my time spent with Vampyr when I didn’t feel indifferent to what was going on. Its setting tries to create a dark, ominous atmosphere but only manages to be drab. Secondary characters more often than not feel like checklists instead of people, giving little natural...
Moonlighter
There’s a satisfying loop to Moonlighter, where dungeoneering feeds into shopkeeping which then increases Will’s abilities as an adventurer. It’s easy to lose track of time and turn one extra run into several as you brave dungeons both lively and ominous, brought to life with delightful pixel art and an...
FAR: Lone Sails is an excellent journey through silence and desolation, across a world whose history is told through glimpses of what remains. The bond that forms between vehicle and protagonist is expertly highlighted in a number of its moments, while the journey itself is brilliantly paced. Its puzzles aren’t...
Omensight
Omensight tells a story that’s worth discovering, and digging for the truth is ultimately rewarding, if a bit easy. The standard gameplay linking these bits together, however, fails to hold up until the end. It undoubtedly does the job for the first part of the game, but gradually dries out...
Where the original title was a triumphant return to Infinity Engine-style cRPGs, there are many moments when Pillars Of Eternity II: Deadfire feels like it’s just going through the motions. It’s a better looking beast, with more voice acting done by a band of actors who’re able to infuse life...
City of Brass
City Of Brass is a first person rogue-lite with personality stemming both from its exotic location and the satisfying interplay between whip and scimitar. It makes good use of tried and tested rogue-lite elements while infusing some flavor of its own into the recipe. The Blessings and Burdens system is...
Frostpunk
Frostpunk’s main weakness is, strangely enough, also one of its strengths. The three currently available scenarios aren’t excessively long but manage to employ the game’s components in such a way that I was hooked from start to finish. From setting up buildings, managing temperature, exploring the outside world and dealing...
BattleTech
Note: BattleTech also supports PvP in the form of 1v1 Skirmishes. The developers have went on record stating that, at least at the moment, they see it more as a mode meant for fights between friends than for high level competitive play. This review does not cover the Skirmish mode.
Extinction
In a best case scenario, Extinction would have you employing Avil’s traversal capabilities to swiftly damage Ravenii, then give enough reasons to move back and deal with smaller foes while saving civilians and filling your execution bar in the progress, thus making use of all of the game’s elements. In...
Pit People
Despite its combat’s limitations, I adored Pit People’s lively world with all its crazy characters and absurd situations. There are tons of items to get, fighters to capture and quests to complete in its delightfully rendered areas, but it’s mainly The Behemoth’s approach to humor, both in a visual and...
