This game is a short, but very fun swashbuckling adventure. What other title allows you to jump on top of a table, somersault over an enemy, kick them down the stairs, grab a bucket to throw over the head of another enemy, jump to a rope to swing across to the other side of the room where you parry a third enemy's attack and knock them into a rack of weapons, which falls on them and knocks them out?

This was such a fun, wholesome game. You basically talk to people, look around for clues, and use that information to fill in the puzzle statements using a little inference and a lot of de"duck"tion. It was honestly just the right length for me.

Helldivers 2 really is a great game. There is an enormous amount of variety in weapons and loadout choice, which helps to keep things fresh. I keep coming back to this game every couple of weeks.

Imagine XCOM with the predictable outcomes of chess, add hilariously witty banter, and you've got Tactical Breach Wizards. I was worried at first that this would be one of those puzzle games that had "One True Way" to beat each map, but that was not the case at all. Even with the optional "confidence goals", thanks to the interplay of each character's talents, you get a great variety of approaches to choose from. So even though you can beat a map the same way every time, you never have to, and much of the fun is in experimenting to discover "what happens if I do this?"

This game is amazing. It's as close as you can get right now to playing D&D without a human Dungeon Master (and in some ways, it's better).

Not nearly as fun as Doom 2016 was. Id tried to add new mechanics, but the previous version had a perfect balance that really let you focus on movement and shooting. The music also wasn't nearly as good, and having read about what happened with Mick Gordon recently, now I understand why.

This game is great for playing quick 15 to 30 minutes sessions. Once you get used to how it works, you'll almost always be unlocking more things for the game.

This can be a really chill game that you play in small chunks (by default the game gives you 15 minute shifts to work). Or you can turn off the shift limit and float along in zero g, trying to puzzle out how to carve a ship apart over a couple of hours.

This game was what I pictured in my mind when I was a boy playing the original MechWarrior game on my neighbor's computer.

While there isn't a lot of content at the moment (beat most of the initial missions in two nights, and now I have 3 stars on every mission), I'm having a blast with this game. I'll definitely be playing more of this game as additional content is released and the gameplay is updated.

Edit: The devs have updated this game three times since launch, each time adding a few maps and a couple of tweaks, so I have a reason to come back and play again every couple of weeks.
