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

Sid Meier’s Civilization III: Complete
