This sci-fi hero shooter shows real promise, but lacks both innovation and content at launch.

A gorgeous medieval city-builder that feels very early in its Early Access development.

A gorgeous medieval city-builder that feels very early in its Early Access development.

A by-the-numbers action game with a story that only occasionally lives up to the original work.

Great in all of the most important ways for an action game, but lackluster elsewhere.

Like a cheap slice of pizza, this arcade port is tasty in the moment but will leave you wanting.

A solid Metroidvania elevated by a truly moving story.

It may take place at the bottom of the ocean on a distant alien planet, but Harold Halibut’s story is an entirely human one, both in terms of its carefully handmade environments and its strong emphasis on empathy towards its eccentric cast of characters. While I wish that there was a little more interactivity to be found throughout its subaquatic setting, and Harold’s shuffling run could have been boosted to a sprint to reduce the time spent repeatedly schlepping from one end of its levels to the other, I nonetheless remained captivated by his whimsical quest to unite his community and explore the spectacular surroundings of his sunken home. Consistently funny and full of surprises, Harold Halibut is a wholesome, handcrafted adventure with plenty of heart.

Broken Roads has ideas that could have made it an RPG to rival Disco Elysium, instead it runs out of steam almost immediately.

This slick and shrewd supernatural sniping game is packed with satisfying spatial problems to solve (and shoot), but it's not significantly satisfying after the first time around.

A laid-back puzzle game about growing strange plants.

A darker take on a fantasy gacha RPG with a detailed world but sluggish progression.

A short but sweet slice of propulsive platforming action, Pepper Grinder is all driller and no filler.

An earnest exploration of a family in turmoil, Open Roads has sharp teeth but ultimately lacks bite.

An incredibly unique mix of FPS, RTS, and tower defense ideas.

Dull, toothless, and a big step in the wrong direction for South Park games.

Some good ideas help it to stand out, but they don't let it stand up under its own weight.
