The Witness
I think The Witness is the most I’ve ever been absorbed by a game that I didn’t find particularly entertaining.
Among the Sleep
While certainly well-intentioned, Among the Sleep doesn’t do enough to stand out from its incredibly crowded genre.
Monster Hunter Freedom
This game had to try very hard to bore me as much as it did.
Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy
Getting Over It shows enormous potential as a work of misunderstood genius, but I can’t bring myself to reach the last third of its content.
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
Minish Cap is simply a pretty good installment with some room for improvement.
while True: learn()
Everything that while True: learn() tries beyond the first few hours immediately falls flat.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma
No matter which version you play, Ninja Gaiden is an occasionally exciting, more-than-occasionally tiresome monument to gaming’s adolescent years.
Metroid Dread
Dread mostly takes existing franchise hallmarks and alters all of them slightly with only minor flaws, so the end product is consistently solid but unexceptional.
Dots
Dots never extends beyond its foundation, and more damningly, it’s ruined by its monetization model.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow
Without its multiplayer, Pandora Tomorrow is a B-team-developed sequel that’s more of an expansion pack.
