Valiant Hearts: The Great War
Valiant Hearts hopes to tap into the potential of story-focused WWI games, with mixed success.
Ristar
Ristar is not just a colourful and enjoyable example of its genre; it’s even a little ahead of its time.
BIT.TRIP BEAT
BIT.TRIP BEAT attempts to answer the question, “What if Pong was a rhythm game?” It could have done so a lot more gracefully.
Vectorman
Vectorman is pretty fucking rad. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually play that well.
Fortnite: Battle Royale
I’m ambivalently surprised to find Fortnite’s Battle Royale component quite enjoyable.
Among Us
Among Us simply has a solid design that accomplishes its goals nicely.
The Walking Dead: 400 Days
The ideas and story threads of 400 Days deserve to be more than an hour and a half of DLC.
Gorogoa
Gorogoa tells a beautiful story of a life ravaged by war and enriched by spirituality.
This War of Mine: The Little Ones
With The Little Ones, This War of Mine’s video game role reversal is more brilliant than ever, but the expansion on its own is rather underwhelming.
Ticket to Ride
The fact that this is just a one-to-one recreation of the physical product isn’t too much of a problem.
