Like it was hard? :p We all have different brains. Mine looks at ♥♥♥♥ like this and goes, hold my beer. It is beautiful and well crafted so I'd recommend it for that alone.

Challenging, and feels like a maze at first, but genuinely becomes a puzzle as you start to understand the mechanics. I do wish it had an undo and the ability to backtrack to previous levels. Would love to see that as an update but not enough to write a negative review. The concept is clever and worth playing. 100%ed in 4 hours. If you care about achievements, look at the guide first, at least to know which levels the secrets are in because you cannot backtrack.

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.
