A Short Hike
On the whole, A Short Hike is uncommonly charming, funny, and heartfelt.
The Messenger
The Messenger is a solid throwback that’s more ambitious than it looks but also too ambitious for its own good.
Into the Breach
Into the Breach is nearly the perfect turn-based strategy game.
Beneath a Steel Sky
Beneath a Steel Sky has vastly more mature subject matter and writing than anything else from 1994. The problem is that that’s all it has.

DK: King of Swing is one of the most frustrating premises I can imagine.
Impostor Factory
Impostor Factory is a confident game, but that confidence is a double-edged sword.

Star Fox Command is by no means a low-effort game, but it is misguided beyond belief.
