Terraria
Terraria is very much about quantity over quality.
Prison Architect
Prison Architect is committed to the realism of its simulation in almost all aspects, and whether or not that’s a good thing will depend entirely on the player.
80 Days
80 Days is a great example of the power of interactive fiction, although it doesn’t execute it consistently.
Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster
The Pixel Remaster is a misguided museum piece that erases the very thing it’s supposed to preserve.
Stardew Valley
I kept coming back to Stardew Valley, but I found myself constantly wondering if it was worth the time investment.
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.
while True: learn()
Everything that while True: learn() tries beyond the first few hours immediately falls flat.
Dots
Dots never extends beyond its foundation, and more damningly, it’s ruined by its monetization model.
Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a perfectly well-made game that’s just not particularly interesting.
Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Danganronpa starts out strong, but as the story unfolds, it becomes more and more of a slog to play.
