A real-time strategy game (not RTS) with local and online multiplayer (and bots) that can be summarized as, 'Worms-like shenanigans on an interplanetary scale.'

Sandwiched between two different storefronts, Meat Boy is the only thing keeping both slices together when one barely has anything more than the crusts. At its core, this platformer remains a classic.

This CRPG definitely is rough-around-the-edges, simplistic and a (good) mobile port; however, if success is what the developers and their intended audience want, then it succeeds where others fail.

What would be a new NES classic in 2018, RobbOtto is about two robots trying not to kill one another as they attempt to work together to learn the meaning of friendship.

Hard to believe the Glacier Engine has come so far, unlike the Creation Engine, from its humble beginnings. However, the first Hitman game is also the worst introduction for a great stealth franchise.

The Nights may not last forever, but the dream lives on twenty years later with Beamdog's Enhanced Edition. This CPRG, while geared towards LAN parties, is the hybrid of SP and MP I always wanted.

Imagine playing Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (the text adventure) in 2018 but with loonies native to Earth in addition to Pokemon-lite combat with Crytids. Needless to say, this game is weird.

Taken from roguelikes to learn from your failures, heroic deaths are given an epic proportions in order to survive. This science-fantasy CRPG relies on your follies to keep you going in the next life.

Whatever you may think of the shaky launch, No Man's Sky is a game that has redeemed itself into a universe that is worth forgiving its many, many flaws in order to appreciate its many wonders.

Along with other classics, Dust was from the Xbox Live Summer Arcade era that began the modern trend. The gameplay may not hold up, yet its passion by one man's dream is worth seeing for yourself.
