Loop Hero
Roguelikes can lay claim to some of the most creative titles of the last 15 years, including Loop Hero.
Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty
The quicksave makes New ‘n’ Tasty almost automatically a better game than Abe’s Oddysee.
Grand Theft Auto III
GTA3’s frustrations and omissions would make a less revolutionary game not worth playing at all.
Pilgrims
Pilgrims is easily Amanita’s worst major title.
Super Mario Run
Super Mario Run is worth more of a look than I initially gave it credit for.
DOOM II
DOOM II may be the biggest drop in quality for an “expansion pack sequel” that I’ve ever seen.
Final Fantasy IX
The modern re-release of Final Fantasy IX makes a few minor but consequential changes that ultimately diminish the overall quality.
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery could have been a touching and evocative story supported by interesting puzzle gameplay.
Hyper Light Drifter
Hyper Light Drifter does its inspirations enough justice to warrant a recommendation, but it also hosts a number of imperfections that keep it from true greatness.
Balatro
Balatro is the distilled essence of its genre.
