“A great species/empire creation suite coupled with some of Paradox's most streamlined mechanics (relative to CK2 or HOI4, though that isn't saying much) and rich galaxies. Workshop mods are a must.”

“The changes to 1 far outshine the updates to 2 and 3, but they didn't need a lot of changing in the first place. On sale, I'd say go for it; especially if you've never played Mass Effect before.”

“The beautiful art and environmental design paints a picturesque scene of humble waters with dark secrets lurking beneath. Mechanically simple, but satisfying and enjoyable enough.”

“From the ashes of an underwhelming multiplayer-only game, here rises a campaign with fantastic pacing and some incredible level design. Turns out there's plenty of reasons everyone's dying for a TF3.”

“A very strange and unique game, to say the least. I enjoyed Hideo Kojima's wild ride, though it certainly isn't for everyone.”

“A great roguelike with unique twists. The overall narrative leaves a little to be desired, but is adequate enough to justify its turns.”

“A floppy platformer with good co-op potential, but not a lot outside of that. If the fighting games like Gang Beasts seem too monotonous, H:FF should deliver with its physics platforming variety.”

“An immersive sim partially dipped in a wood chipper and doused in acid. Somehow not only does it breathe, but it's fun too. Janky, confusing, nauseating fun.”

“Talos Principle 1 vs Portal 2 has, for many years, been a close personal debate for me. Talos Principle 2 has rendered that question obsolete.”

“A faithful remake of a childhood classic. It's a platformer for kids, namely those who were/are Spongebob fans, but I think it offers just enough fun ideas to justify its runtime.”

“"Isn't this just Balatro, but blackjack?" Basically, yeah... but the game also knows that and acknowledges it. D&DG is humble in precisely the way it needs to be.”

“An incredibly faithful depiction of life in a specific place and time. The murder mystery at its core may not satisfy 100% of people, but it gives you more than enough to think about.”

“How do I say "this game feels like it was made specifically for me" without sounding like I have a foot fetish?”

“An early pioneer in cheap simulator meme games. Just about scrapes by on the bare minimum effort possible for a game like this to work. Bonus points for parodying Dead Island in the marketing.”

“Excellent puzzles, gorgeous environments, an S-tier soundtrack, tied together by a story that's... good enough. Probably one of the best puzzle games ever. Road to Gehenna is great too.”

“The unlikely duo of a melancholy unmade world and twee retro Roguelike come together as if they were always meant to be. Perhaps a little bit lengthy, but enjoyable the entire way.”

“One of those "walk around and hit x to emit light" type beats, but underwater. If that sounds good to you, you'll like it. I liked it.”

“While unpolished and filled with very mediocre voice acting (likely due to budget constraints and originally being made in Chinese), the gimmick of freely listening in is good enough to recommend.”
