A Civ-like with neat ideas, but half-formed fundamentals and messy execution make your decisions feel less than impactful.

A repetitive dungeon dive with high stakes hand-to-hand.

Returning to its interwar period roots, Alone in the Dark successfully reworks and expands the original game's scenario and characters, but its exploration, puzzle solving and combat largely stick to now familiar survival horror routines.

A satisfying daily loop turns into a speedy momentum in this open world farming game, but its early access release raises questions that need answers.

General clunk, confusing crafting, and a numbers chase make this survival game a tedious grind in its current state.

More off-roading excellence from the series formerly known as Spintires, although its scientific theme is not as interesting as it could be.

Berserk Boy is a dashing action platformer that borrows from the greats, and builds frantic, ever-changing movesets on top.
