Cocoon
Cocoon is a uniquely meditative journey with a brilliant gameplay hook.
The Unfinished Swan
The Unfinished Swan is a lovely, memorable journey.
Telling Lies
Telling Lies makes me wonder if Her Story might have been a once-in-a-lifetime game.
Sayonara Wild Hearts
This is the kind of game that makes me look at everything else on the market and wonder what the fuck their excuse is.
Gorogoa
Gorogoa tells a beautiful story of a life ravaged by war and enriched by spirituality.
Kentucky Route Zero
There’s nothing else like Kentucky Route Zero, which is why even though I don’t recommend it, I don’t necessarily want to dissuade anyone from trying it.
Journey
Instead of trying to push the definition of a game at the expense of all else, Journey is lighter on experimentation but heavy on refinement.
Flower
This is like the gaming equivalent of Oscar bait – using up a whole lot of artistic talent to say a whole lot of nothing.
