Among the Sleep
While certainly well-intentioned, Among the Sleep doesn’t do enough to stand out from its incredibly crowded genre.
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.
Dead Cells
Dead Cells is a perfectly well-made game that’s just not particularly interesting.
Celeste
I underestimated how exemplary the gameplay in Celeste would turn out to be.
Resident Evil 3
The remake of Resident Evil 3 is always being pulled in two different directions.
Subnautica
Subnautica rises not only above the stereotypes of survival games, but above all other expectations.
DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part Two
Part Two is surprisingly anticlimactic, but the new gameplay additions keep the gory splendour fresh for another 6 hours.
DOOM Eternal: The Ancient Gods – Part One
It’s a testament to how exhilarating the rapid-fire brutality of DOOM Eternal was that even when it’s repeatedly kicking your face in, it’s still an absolute blast.
Resident Evil 2: The Ghost Survivors
The Ghost Survivors is more of an expansion to the bonus “4th Survivor” mode, which sounds like the opposite of a good time.
Firewatch
Firewatch will appeal to anyone looking for a second dose of Gone Home’s magic or a less experimental, more meaningful version of Dear Esther.
