Love Eternal
Adventure gamebrlka's debut is a ruthless, striking gravity-flip platformer wrapped in a story that reaches further than it can always grasp, and at $7.99 that over...Good7.1Riverbond
Action gameHard to recommend for most people: Riverbond's combat repeats long before its short campaign ends, it's too easy to challenge anyone experienced, and ...Mixed5.9Sail Forth
Action gameSail Forth's wind-driven sailing model is the real thing — tuned, readable and rewarding — but the combat, bosses and errand-style quests built around...Mixed6.5Cookie Clicker
Simulation gameFew games can claim to have founded a genre and still hold their place in it, but Cookie Clicker comes close. It's a lean, funny, surprisingly deep ec...Great8.3Long Live the Queen
RPG gameA small, cruel, clever sim that treats failure as the lesson plan. For players willing to die repeatedly to learn what the court wants, it's a rewardi...Good7.5Haven Park
Adventure gameHaven Park is charming and well-made but very short and shallow, and it leans heavily on A Short Hike without matching it. At $3.59 it's a pleasant ...Mixed6.6Lone Ruin
Action gameLone Ruin has a fast, tight spellcasting loop and pixel art that makes a strong first impression, but thin content, uneven build balance and almost no...Mixed5.8Shape of the World
Casual gameHard to recommend for most people: Shape of the World is a gorgeous, pressure-free walk through a world that grows around you, but there is very littl...Mixed5.9
Heave Ho
Adventure gameHeave Ho turns two floppy arms and a bottomless pit into a genuinely funny, chaotic couch co-op design. It's short, punishing late on, and thin alone,...Good7.2RUINER
Action gameRUINER's top-down combat is aggressive, fast and well-tuned, wrapped in a striking blood-red cyberpunk look. The fights carry the game; the story, the...Good7.2Strange Antiquities
Adventure gameBad Viking's occult shopkeeping sequel turns the act of looking closely into the entire game, and it is richer and more demanding than Strange Horticu...Good7.4Ibb & Obb
Action gameIbb & Obb is a co-op puzzle platformer built so completely around two people that playing it alone barely counts as playing it. It is short and punish...Good7.5Leo's Fortune
Action gameLeo's Fortune is a beautifully made physics platformer that holds up better than most of its 2014 mobile peers: tightly tuned, complete, and free of m...Good7.7Kraken Academy!!
Adventure gameHappy Broccoli Games built a sharp, funny time-loop mystery on top of a cast odd enough to carry it. It is short and its objectives are sometimes mudd...Good7.1Wheels of Aurelia
Adventure gameWheels of Aurelia is a stylish, politically ambitious piece of interactive fiction set on a 1978 coastal road, but the car barely matters and the piec...Mixed5.8Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!
Action gameJust Add Water's remake of Abe's Oddysee keeps the satire of industrial greed landing as hard as it did in 1997, and quicksave finally makes the game ...Good7.3Fading Afternoon
Action gameSolo developer yeo has made a 2D Yakuza about running out of time, and it earns its mood. Its combat and its terminal-illness clock work together we...Good7.1Here Comes Niko!
Action gameHere Comes Niko! is a short, generous 3D collect-a-thon about being kind to strangers, and it doesn't punish you for being bad at jumping. We recommen...Good7.3Sagebrush
Adventure gameA short, carefully researched walk through the ruins of a doomsday cult that earns its discomfort honestly. Expect about two hours of reading and list...Good7.0Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
Adventure gameOxenfree II: Lost Signals has sharp writing, a strong adult lead and a soundtrack that gets under your skin, but it sticks too closely to the origin...Good7.1Pinstripe
Adventure gameFor all its flaws, Pinstripe earns its keep as a short, lovely and upsetting story about a father's guilt. Most of its value sits in the art, the musi...Good7.1Hexologic
Education gameHexologic takes a familiar number-sum rule and gets real depth out of it by moving it to a hexagonal grid, and it does so with unusual restraint. It's...Good7.6Monster Prom
Simulation gameMonster Prom is a funny, well-written party game whose competitive dating-sim premise works best with friends on a couch. Its thin strategy and weak s...Good7.2Pine Hearts
Adventure gameA short, gentle, carefully judged hike through grief. The puzzles won't challenge anyone and the structure is familiar, but the warmth and restraint i...Good7.4
