Humanity since its earliest days has remained fascinated storytelling, is this universal trait the result of chance? Or is a deeper reason, we constantly ask "what if?", and look beyond what we can see for something greater?
Level Zero: Extraction is a nice attempt at unseating the king of the genre, but like all other pretenders before it, its attempts at unseating Escape from Tarkov will prove in vain.
How can Archor Games afford to release so many terrible asset flips onto Steam at $100 a title? I have no idea. Still, like the rest of their back catalogue, Multiplayer Shooters is a minimum-effort asset flip that is not worth playing.
Diplomacy is Not an Option is a near-perfect indie game for $15 or less; unfortunately, it retails for $24.99 in early access, and that price is set to increase before leaving Early Access.
The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak is more of the same in the best way possible, and its release brings the West one step closer to full parity with Japan, with just one title left before full parity is achieved.
While Tomba never became the success that it could have been due to launching a few years too early for its complexity and a few years too late for its visuals, over a quarter of a century after its original launch in 1997, it still holds a special place in the heart of the millions of people who played the demo disk but were unable to find the game on the shelves (myself included!)
While The Texas Chain Saw Massacre perfectly captures the essence of the movie, I am not sure that's a good thing for players who chose to play as the Family.
While Plumber Survivors is not entirely without merit, there is no real reason to play it when so many better titles already exist.
In Woods is an entirely unpretentious title that makes no claims to be something bigger or better than it is, and for that reason, I can give it a passing grade despite it being one of the less innovative titles in the genre.
Stuffed is a worse version of better games that appeals to virtually no one and has a less than zero chance of recovering from its disastrous multiplatform launch.
