Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword
Beyond the Sword is a real expansion that makes the original game bigger and better.
The Unfinished Swan
The Unfinished Swan is a lovely, memorable journey.
BPM: Bullets Per Minute
I like BPM, but I want to like it a whole lot more than I do.
Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Chaos Theory works the best and has the most engaging little additions of any game in the series.
Prison Architect
Prison Architect is committed to the realism of its simulation in almost all aspects, and whether or not that’s a good thing will depend entirely on the player.
The Messenger – Picnic Panic
Picnic Panic is basically what The Messenger half-heartedly pretended to be.
BioShock 2
If BioShock 2 was using material of its own creation, it would be seen as another classic. Instead, it’s a good game whose quality will forever have an asterisk beside it.
Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course
Careless design noticeably detracts from the gameplay, but the DLC is still recommended as a lovingly surreal, decently entertaining throwback.
Final Fantasy XV: Windows Edition
Final Fantasy XV is a lumbering failure struggling under years of unfinished ideas.
Sid Meier’s Civilization IV: Warlords
It’s very easy to forget you’re playing Warlords and not the vanilla game.
