Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
Mario + Rabbids is a totally unexpected title made by a team that’s clearly inexperienced in its genre, but it’s so much better than it has any right to be.
World War Z
As obvious copycats go, this one’s reasonably worthwhile.
LEGO Batman: The Videogame
I think I’ll have to file the Traveller’s Tales LEGO games in with the games I respect more than I enjoy.
Layers of Fear
In Layers of Fear, Bloober Team just mash together well-made horror setpieces without sense or rhythm.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition
The single-player content in the Anniversary Edition is extraordinarily lazy and inappropriate, creating what might be the widest gap in entertainment based on player number I’ve ever seen.
Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
Specter of Torment seems to go out of its way to rectify the problems of Shovel Knight’s first expansion.
Kentucky Route Zero
There’s nothing else like Kentucky Route Zero, which is why even though I don’t recommend it, I don’t necessarily want to dissuade anyone from trying it.
Spyro the Dragon Reignited
As a pleasant diversion, Spyro is undeniably effective.
Ticket to Ride
The fact that this is just a one-to-one recreation of the physical product isn’t too much of a problem.
Painkiller
It’s remarkable how much Painkiller has in common with a shovelware FPS despite not being one itself.
