Recommended Sep 28, 2026
The controls took a bit to get used to, but I enjoyed the game. This is a game to take on when you want something a little different or something you can get through in a matter of hours, especially if you are trying to go through a backlog, which is what I'm doing.
Recommended Sep 19, 2026
Played both timelines and damn the choices hit hard. Keeping the descendants alive as Mia while everything fails, then digging into the conspiracy as Donnie... every decision can doom or save people. Tense, emotional, and the branching paths feel real. Loved the dual story.

pretty hard
Recommended Aug 7, 2026
To be honest it didnt reall hook me. I pretty much only bought the rest of the episodes because they were pretty cheap. Its still really nice and not too bad. The characters reaction seem really weird and too normal for the situation. Still pretty nice. I can recommend it.
Recommended Jul 30, 2026
Very slow paced point and click story where you will question why the characters put down the tools they find after using them and need them again later... I'd judge this as a good 10$ story if you like these kinds of games, otherwise I'd have to recommend watching a streamer play it instead. The gameplay experience is quite bad but the story is good.

Games like Black Myth Wukong: the boss, not the world

Games like Black Myth Wukong have to replace the fight, not the setting: the deflect window, the transformations, the one-more-try pull. These do, from Ashina to Tsushima.

Games like Hollow Knight: one kingdom you have to learn

Games like Hollow Knight are judged on one thing: whether the world is a single place you learn or a menu of levels. These keep it connected, from Pharloom to a well full of secrets.

Anno 117 price: free to try on Xbox, and what a key has cost

Anno 117: Pax Romana is free for every Xbox member until Sunday. The Anno 117 price on PC is another matter: 32 readings since late September, and the floor has moved.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
