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.
Resident Evil 2
The best Resident Evil games were the ones that reinvented the formula, and now with this remake, 2 can join them.
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.
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.
This War of Mine: The Little Ones
With The Little Ones, This War of Mine’s video game role reversal is more brilliant than ever, but the expansion on its own is rather underwhelming.
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.
Steep
Steep is worth playing just for the experimental mix of atmosphere and athletics.
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.
