I’m not exaggerating when I say that Telepath Tactics has the potential to be one of the best platforms for user-created storytelling, all backed by a stellar combat system.

Roguebook’s unique take on the tried and true formula of the genre is brilliant. The exploration is always fun. Every point of interest you uncover feels like finding a small treasure.

Green Hell is a much more realistic take on survival than most games. You might come out of a fight alive, only to die from infected wounds hours later.

It may not seem like it at first glance. But Trash Sailors is very much a party game in the same vein as Overcooked and similar titles.

Decades ago Pokemon may have ruled the schoolyard roost as the king of pocket monsters, but it was far from the only one. Just because something is popular, doesn’t always mean it’s the best.

One Step From Eden is a rogue-lite deck builder with a pretty significant twist. The game is played in real-time.

Both Risk of Rain games happen to be really good, and Slayers Inc is a worthy accomplice to them. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree, but it’s still a pretty good apple.

I really can’t understate how great the level design is. Every puzzle uses the game’s focused movement mechanics and powers-ups in wonderfully cohesive ways.

Limitation is often king to innovation, and with that Pawnbarian calls checkmate.

If I could have handpicked what X-COM 3 would be, it would have looked a whole lot like Phoenix Point.
