“Throes of the Watchmaker is a solid piece of DLC for Sea of Stars. If you enjoyed the main game, you will enjoy this too! If the original wasn't your bottle of seltzer, maybe pass on it.”

“With exceptional writing, beautiful art, a compelling environment, and a captivating central gameplay mechanic, Expelled! is a video game work of art. If you have any interest in visual novels, adventure games, whodunits, or time loops, I can’t recommend it enough. Believe me, you will want to play this one again and again!”

“The Crimson Diamond is a retro-style game done right, pulling everything that worked from the text parser games of the late 80s while making it much more accessible for audiences today.”

“This expertly remastered outing for Sam & Max is an adventure game to remember and a spectacular conclusion to their Telltale adventures!”

“Overboard! is an outstanding time-loop game that challenges you to think like a crafty murderer out of an Agatha Christie novel!”

“The Castlevania Advance Collection offers fantastic value with three excellent Metroidvania games (and one heck of a challenging side scroller).”

“Kathy Rain: Director's Cut adds in some interesting additional content, but is fundamentally the same overall experience as its original release.”

“Dreamscaper has been in early access for about a year, and based on my time with it, I can say that time was well spent by Afterburner. They’ve created a well-balanced and engaging roguelike Action RPG that perfectly pairs with its social simulator mechanics. I continued to play long after I conquered Cassidy’s dreams and enjoyed every run, whether it was all the way to the end of the game or stupidly dying in the first level. This is a super impressive debut for the studio, and I hope that Afterburner is already working on its follow-up title! If Dreamscaper is any indication, we will be in for some sweet dreams ahead!”

“With stunning pixel-art graphics, solid combat, and a considerable amount of character customization, you can easily sink a few hours into Foregone, maybe more if you delve into more challenging difficulty levels. However, if you’re looking for a complex Metroidvania full of backtracking and deep lore, I would look elsewhere. Foregone may have left me feeling a bit cold, but if you’re looking for some straightforward side-scrolling action, I suspect it will nicely scratch that itch!”

“Between the minigames, side quests, substories, idol simulator, and main story, Yakuza 5 offers a truly stunning value for your money.”

“With Yakuza 4, we start to see the modern vision of the series take shape, while also serving as an enjoyable entry on its own!”

“Despite occasionally feeling dated, Yakuza 3 still offers a fun experience for fans of the series.”

“Cthulhu Saves Christmas is a stocking stuffer you'll want to open!”

“Already the best game in the Mario & Luigi series, the new graphics and presentation raise it to new heights on the 3DS! ”

“One of the funniest RPGs ever made, West of Loathing combines a unique visual presentation with outstanding roleplaying. ”

“One of the most engaging and original adventure games released in years. You owe it to yourself to give it a play. ”
