4/4: These mind-bending puzzles are a masterclass in creative design.

3/4: Tells an ambitious story that I mostly enjoyed. Its non-linear narrative works well to keep everything mysterious while still being engaging, but it occasionally veered into "art house movie".

4/4: An excellent action RPG. Loved the breezy island setting and the exploration aspect. Basically the epitome of a AA RPG. Combat is engaging without being complicated. Just a delight.

3/4: A compact, classic-Zelda inspired adventure game. True to its word, there's no fluff. But at some point fluff provides opportunities to engage with the game's world, so it felt a little thin.

3/4: Cute little puzzle platformer where dying with an ability alters leaves something behind to help you solve puzzles. Neat concept, but not really something I'd spend a ton of time with.

4/4: A fresh coat of paint brings the brilliance of a beloved but niche game to a wider audience.

4/4: Excellent strategy game that mixes Tetris and deckbuilding. Shouldn't work as well as it does, but it's a hoot.

3/4: Heavily inspired by "Type Help", it does a good job carving out its own niche with a larger cast, multiple sections, and a visual interface. UX is rough around the edges, but it's great anyway.

2/4: It's a technically impressive game, but wasn't for me. I end up with the same problem I have with most immersive sims- there are so many ways to approach something that playing it is overwhelming

4/4: Utterly original gameplay and charming aesthetics make for a good time.
