PAYDAY: The Heist
PAYDAY’s heist elements give the game a unique flavour that makes it more enjoyable than a standard imitation, even when the imitation itself is rather flawed.
Jazzpunk: Flavour Nexus
With Flavour Nexus, Necrophone Games have made a graphically primitive, surreal prototype with minimal substance.
Dynamite Headdy
This game is insane even by Treasure’s usual unbridled standards.
Dishonored: The Knife of Dunwall
I’ll never say no to more of Dishonored’s stellar gameplay, but some aspects of The Knife of Dunwall are disappointing.
Gorogoa
Gorogoa tells a beautiful story of a life ravaged by war and enriched by spirituality.
Lethal League Blaze
Lethal League Blaze is one of those sequels that renders the original largely obsolete.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
With this final single-player expansion, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove now contains two of my favourite games ever.
Samurai Shodown

To enjoy The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna, you really have to enjoy the base game.
Resident Evil 2
The best Resident Evil games were the ones that reinvented the formula, and now with this remake, 2 can join them.
