- DirectorArnt JensenStarsSigna KöstlerArthur KöstlerCecilie Gellert NielsenHunted and alone, a boy finds himself drawn into the center of a dark project.Really good, not great. It feels like it's building to something, in terms of both gameplay and story, but it never really does. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the hell out of the end but it didn't feel like the right summation of what came before.
I should say, the gameplay mechanics never became expertly tricky or fun, they were always good, and the story builds and then kinda flatlines. It's the vogue thing in indie games now it seems. - DirectorJake RodkinStarsRich SommerCissy JonesLarissa GallagherIn 1989, Henry takes a volunteer fire lookout job in the Wyoming wilderness to escape from his troubled past, only to be thrown into plethora of paranoia and mystery.
- DirectorJeffrey KaplanAaron KellerStarsAaron PhillipsAnjali BhimaniCara TheoboldAfter a devastating war against a combat-ready team of intelligent machines known as Omnics, the former agents of the heroic team known as Overwatch must join forces once more to fight a new threat.Solid overall gameplay package. Nothing crazy new, and it never became an outright addiction for me, but I had my fun with it.
- StarsEktor PanIkue ÔtaniIt's your chance to discover and capture the Pokémon all around. Get your shoes on and explore the world. Pick one of three teams and battle for the prestige and ownership of Gyms with your Pokémon.Alright so it has problems (or had more, now less). Battles still aren't right. But I haven't stopped playing it, at least in spurts. That says something right?
- DirectorTakashi TezukaStarsCharles MartinetSamantha KellyKenny JamesPlay as Mario in a action-packed game as you run, jump, and defeat creatures. Mario runs automatically, while a 60 second timer goes off. Defeat Bowser, monsters, goombas, and more.Really fun, and it's the right gameplay avenue for Mario mobile. 10 bucks is probably too much for this gameplay market but still. It's too fun to care. A bit disappointed in its longevity.
- DirectorHidetaka MiyazakiYajuan ChengJun'ya MoritaStarsPik Sen LimOlivia MaceRoger RingroseThe fire is fading. Darkness creeps across the land. The Lords of Cinder charged with watching over the First Flame have abandoned their thrones. The Champion of Ash, an undead is chosen to return them to their thrones.
- DirectorJonathan BlowStarsTerra DevaAshley JohnsonPhil LaMarrYou awake on a mysterious island with no goal but to simply traverse the area's multiple landscapes, unlock new pathways and solve all of the puzzles that prevent you from escaping.
- DirectorMartin SahlinStarsRakel VinkaBelle WeihsYarny, a small creature made of yarn, goes on an adventure to find memories.I enjoyed this but it has its problems. The gameplay mechanics never evolve and they don't always work very seamlessly. The story is pretty typical indie game stuff now -- that is overly sentimental to prove games have feelings too. But I'll be damned if still isn't a little bit touching and sweet.
- DirectorJoe NickollsStarsTy OlssonKaren DavidSteve BacicFrank West, and Vick Chu investigate a military compound, situated on the outskirts of Willamette, Colorado, but once inside, they find out the compound is being used for zombie research, and are discovered and forced to flee.
- DirectorRod FergussonStarsLiam McIntyreLaura BaileyEugene Byrd25 years after the events of Gears of War 3 (2011), a new breed of monsters called "The Swarm" threatens the remaining inhabitants of Sera. Marcus Fenix and a new generation of Gears are the last hope to ensure the survival of their species.
