With an addictive gameplay loop, an addictive Galactic War campaign, and an addictive progression system, it's easy to see why this game is addictive. It really only needs to resolve server issues.

Despite much of the game featuring survival/crafting/horror mechanics I avoid, it's implemented so well that I can enjoy it right alongside the cool driving and car building gameplay I already love.

This turns the typically simple mechanic of climbing into the foundation of compelling gameplay and while the stakes are low, it still delivers a solid story that's worth the fairly short playthrough.

Despite its interesting mechanics that are easy to pick up and hard to put down, it falls apart when it comes to monetization and balance - which work together ultimately making it frustrating to play

Combining a standard twin-stick shooter with some well-crafted pinball-style mechanics created a sort of isometric "Sonic with Guns" which is just as cool as it sounds.

While it may not have the full depth of its predecessor, it makes up for it by being a well-made shooter experience with plenty of tactical choice to keep it fresh and fun.

Starfield isn't as revolutionary as Todd Howard pretended it would be, but it does offer that classic Bethesda RPG experience with a nice variety of settings and plenty of fun quests and stories.

An instant classic in the FPS puzzle genre, easily a peer to Portal and other similar titles. The mind bending magic of walking into a photograph never gets old.

With a lot of familiar mechanics and a handful of new ones, this is a decidedly 'ok' game, but one that costs as much as games that are significantly better. Worth playing only if you get it cheap.

This diving adventure starts straightforward, but soon branches out into a web of diverse content so rich and entertaining it feels like you're ripping the dev off at $20. True excellence.
