Lethal League Blaze
Lethal League Blaze is one of those sequels that renders the original largely obsolete.
Shovel Knight: King of Cards
With this final single-player expansion, Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove now contains two of my favourite games ever.
Samurai Shodown
It’s not much of an overstatement to say that I despise traditional fighting games, but I’m slightly more amenable to Samurai Shodown.
The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna
To enjoy The Talos Principle: Road to Gehenna, you really have to enjoy the base game.
Splatoon 2
I’ve had a lot of fun with Splatoon 2’s multiplayer. Unfortunately, the single-player portion does not pull its weight.
Owlboy
For a few hours, Owlboy made me feel like a kid again without explicitly copying older titles, and that’s worth a lot to me.
Invisigun Reloaded
With its relaunch as Reloaded, Invisigun deserves more recognition than ever.
Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! Reignited
Of the three Insomniac Spyro games, Ripto’s Rage needed a remake the least but benefits from it the most.
DOOM Eternal
DOOM 2016 could once claim to be my favourite game in its venerable series, but it’s now going to have to share that spot with Eternal.
Drawful 2
Drawful 2 forms a rift in my mind between the part that instinctively derides expansion pack sequels and the part that enjoys Drawful and its expansion pack sequel.
