Billy Basso has ensured Animal Well deserves its rank among the greats. Whether you only enjoy a single layer of the lasagna or find the drive to devour the whole thing, the quality is ever present.

Some of the most satisfying and properly weighty combat I've ever found. Every hit, block, and dodge feels so intentional and so meaningful, every fight you leave feels like you truly earned your win.

200 characters is not enough to prepare you for what Tunic holds. expect some difficult gameplay and a choose-your-own level of intensity for the puzzles that follow. Have paper and a pencil handy.

Ever since playing this game, countless times I have found myself googling "Games that feel like Neon White" just hoping to recapture the magic found in shaving milliseconds off of my level times.

A promising concept and quality spaceflight gameplay ruined by executive decisions and Bethesda's outdated engine. This game could have been much more, but almost everything is done better elsewhere.

Minimal "poker" knowledge required. Balatro is the pinnacle of "watch numbers go up" gameplay that finds ways to top even itself every time you boot it up. A once in a decade gem. Thank you thunk!

If you've ever enjoyed a city builder, Against the Storm captures the very best part of the genre over and over again. If it doesn't stick right away, give it one "cycle" and thank me later.

Outer Wilds might be the single greatest piece of media I have ever consumed. It is one of, if not the only game I will recommend to anyone regardless of their taste. Go in blind, and read the log ::)

Slay the Spire is one of my top five favorite games of all time and I truly believe it is one of the top five best video games of all time. Every deck builder from 2017 forward was in-*spire*d.

One of the single greatest roguelikes of all time, and a contender for one of my favorite games ever. Derek Yu managed to capture lightning twice in a row, I'll be playing this game for decades.
