Untitled Goose Game
Untitled Goose Game is exactly as advertised, and it’s hilarious.
Sundered: Eldritch Edition
I’m not convinced there’s a workable intersection of action and cosmic horror, despite how hard Sundered argues otherwise.
Learn Japanese to Survive! Hiragana Battle
An educational game is supposed to make learning more exciting, not less.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
This is about as close to perfect as a formula this reliant on chance can get.
Minit
It’s mostly nonsense, but it’s extremely entertaining nonsense.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
It’s a testament to how phenomenal the designers and developers at Retro Studios are that they were able to take something so conceptually empty and still make it fun.
Little Nightmares
It doesn’t have a single original mechanic to its name, but its presentation and the overall sensation of playing it make it worth doing so.
Super Mario Odyssey
While it’s not my favourite Mario title, the idea of someone disliking it feels downright impossible.
Lethal League
It’s refreshing to play a game whose great idea is so great that it’s worth playing despite its scrappy packaging.
Resident Evil 7: biohazard
Despite being arguably the least original mainline entry in its often-ground-breaking series, Resident Evil 7 may actually be the best of the bunch.
