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.
Mass Effect 3
Prior to the last 20 minutes, this was an acceptable continuation of Mass Effect 2.
Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People
Each episode of Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People makes for a decently enjoyable few hours.
Shovel Knight Showdown
This entire endeavour could be described as “endearingly scrappy.”
Ratchet & Clank
Ratchet & Clank shows that good game design is timeless.
ToeJam & Earl
The selling point of ToeJam & Earl in 1991 was how thoroughly strange it was, and that’s a feature that hasn’t aged a day.
Hard Corps: Uprising
Hard Corps: Uprising combined nearly impossible arcade difficulty with the modern tactic of locking characters behind day-one DLC.
