Ten 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...Mixed6.1Age of Wonders 4
RPG gameAge of Wonders 4 has an unusually expressive faction creator for the 4X genre and turn-based battles that reward real tactical thinking. The opponent ...Good7.4Long Live the Queen

Adventure gameBlack Book is a deck-building RPG whose cards are incantations drawn from 19th-century Ural folk charms, wrapped in a grief story with teeth. The co...Good7.3Ashen
Action gameAshen's passive drop-in co-op is the best structural idea the souls-like genre has produced in a decade, but mushy combat, a hostile camera, and a tec...Mixed6.0Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
