Gecko Gods
Action gameHard to recommend for most players: Gecko Gods has a strong wall-climbing hook, but a soft ending, hint-starved puzzles and a climbing system whose fl...Mixed6.4Death Howl
Adventure gameA punishing, slow-burning deckbuilder whose grid tactics and persistent deck fit together well, though the rough opening and steep difficulty narrow w...Good7.1Ten Dates
Adventure gameA well-cast live-action speed-dating romcom whose bite-sized dates keep every connection shallow and the package thin; the choice engine is clever, bu...Mixed6.1The Séance of Blake Manor
Adventure gameTight deduction under a running clock makes this a detective game that trusts the player to do the thinking. Wordy prose and patchy voice acting slow ...Great8.1Shin chan: Me and the Professor on Summer Vacation
Adventure gameA warm, funny summer sim whose time-loop hook and Shin-chan chaos can't fully cover a shallow activity list, an abrupt finale and a mobile subscriptio...Mixed6.7Sail 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...Mixed6.5Virginia
Adventure gameVirginia borrows film editing more confidently than almost any game before it, but hands the player almost nothing to do and trusts its cuts more than...Mixed6.1Strange Antiquities

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Action gameThe best stealth sandbox ever built is attached to a story that visibly runs out of road. Play it for the systems, forgive it for the ending, and swit...Outstanding9.2Wildmender
Adventure gameWildmender has one of the best ideas in the cozy-survival genre — you fix a dead world by moving water through it — but a grindy middle, thin combat a...Mixed6.5Wavetale
Adventure gameWavetale's water traversal is genuinely special, but the combat, puzzles and checklist busywork around that movement are shallow, and the campaign is ...Mixed6.1Wheels 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 ...Good7.3Loot River
Action gameLoot River's tile-sliding combat is a genuinely original idea, but stiff melee, thin variety and repetitive procedural levels squander much of it. At ...Mixed5.8Tormented Souls
Action gameTormented Souls brings back fixed-camera survival horror with care and very little irony. Its puzzles are smart and its dread is earned, but the clunk...Good7.0Hoa
Action gameHoa is gorgeous and nearly frictionless, but its puzzles never develop past their first idea and its floaty movement keeps the core verb from ever fee...Mixed6.3Monument Valley 3
Adventure gameustwo games finally lets Monument Valley leave the room it was built in. Sailing and reshaping architecture make this the most ambitious game in the t...Good7.5Oxenfree 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...Good7.1Heavy Rain
Action gameHeavy Rain is clumsy, melodramatic, and full of plot holes, and it still generates real tension because nobody in it is safe. The Steam port is servic...Good7.0Loretta
Adventure gameA short, controlled noir thriller that uses its branching choices to implicate the player in a marriage's collapse. The puzzles can be obtuse and a si...Good7.0Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Action gameHellblade takes psychosis seriously and builds its sound, puzzles and story around it. The audio design and lead performance are the reasons to play; ...Good7.7Mosaic
Adventure gameMosaic looks like one of the sharpest satires of office life and smartphone compulsion in games, and its mood is its best asset. But it is thin as a g...Mixed5.9to a T
Adventure gameto a T is a warm, funny, humane fable about living in a body the world wasn't built for — and a game too thin and too rough to recommend to most peopl...Mixed6.1Minute of Islands
Adventure gameMinute of Islands pairs gorgeous hand-drawn art with a moving fable about duty and sacrifice, but its puzzles and platforming ask so little that the m...Mixed6.1
