One Finger Death Punch
One Finger Death Punch is an excellent example of “less is more” game design in action.
Return of the Obra Dinn
Return of the Obra Dinn is easily one of the most original and engaging games of 2018.
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.
Life is Strange
Life is Strange is like a punk or folk song in video game form – a lack of refinement is the price you pay for authenticity.
Devil May Cry 2 HD
Despite being nearly identical to its predecessor both mechanically and aesthetically, DMC2 HD still manages to be vastly inferior in literally every aspect.

GRIS is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful games ever released, but it doesn’t have much going for it otherwise.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Everything in Black Flag feels like it’s being torn apart by opposing forces.

Axiom Verge should be an amazing nostalgic love letter, but seemingly everything that makes it awesome has a caveat attached to it.
Kirby’s Dream Course
Kirby’s Dream Course is a complete, rewarding, and original title, instead of a branded reskin of an existing product.
