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.
Control
Aspects that would unambiguously be flaws in another game are entirely appropriate in Control.
Cocoon
Cocoon is a uniquely meditative journey with a brilliant gameplay hook.
Balatro
Balatro is the distilled essence of its genre.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater – Master Collection Version
MGS3 is overflowing with ideas, but it neglects the basics so thoroughly that actually playing it is a struggle more often than not.
Crypt of the NecroDancer: SYNCHRONY
Compared to the first DLC, SYNCHRONY is a scant offering.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus
All of the pieces of a fantastic game are here; they’re just put together wrong.
Unrailed!
Unrailed! is a robust experience that’s not quite like any single other game in existence.
