This has a crumb of something interesting going for it. There's no progression and it hard ends immediately. The skills are very basic but you can tell that if given time this may become something much better later on. It's commendable that this is free so it gets a recommend simply for that. It's not good. You'll probably play it less than the time it takes to install but it has potential.

Not bad, no controller support or options but it's free. Basically 3rd person Vampire Survivors Musou.

Going to give it a 95% — would dawn again. 'Blade of Dawn' is a free gamejam project that honestly surprised me in a good way. It delivers a short, fun, and surprisingly engaging experience. The gameplay loop is solid and enjoyable, with combat and skills that feel powerful and satisfying. There’s a quite a bit more content here than you’d expect from a small project, and the character designs are genuinely beautiful. The atmosphere also gives the game a strong identity. On the technical side, I didn’t run into any bugs, However, the controls do occasionally feel a bit laggy, and the sound design is pretty generic and could use more personality. There’s was also no tutorial, but thankfully the game is simple enough that it’s easy to pick up the controls quickly. The biggest downside is length — a full run only took about 20 minutes to complete, so it’s definitely on the short side. That said, for a free game, it feels fair rather than disappointing. Who would I recommended it to? Anyone looking to try out free indie games or support new developers. This is a quick, enjoyable experience that shows real potential. Final Verdict: A sharp little experience that doesn’t overstay it…

Amazingly addictive for such a simple game, not something you play for hours, and hours, but it will be fun for the first 2 or 3 if you wanna get on the leaderboards, don't use your T skill ever, they do not count as kills, as it also doesn't give you XP nor heal you when you get the perk for it, it spawns mobs that tank enemies for you but they're useless, since you can use the 2 levels you lose spamming it to get 2 hp perks and become nearly immortal, the game is quite not balanced xD

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
