Inner Chains.
A first person horror experience set in a desolate world filled with biomechanical creatures.
Set in a time where the human race has succumbed to the folly of selfishness and greed, follow
a simple man trying to make his way out of this hell-hole and enter a paradise called
“The Last Hope”. But before any of that, he has to embark on a perilous journey filled
with mad zealots, deadly fauna and creepy creatures. Can you survive?
It’s a visually pleasing game that pays attention to detail. Apparently, it was barred
by its insufferable bugs and glitches that breaks the game. It has a PlayScore of 5.73
Formula Fusion.
One of the few anti-gravity racing games that want to rival the critically acclaimed WipeOut
series. Similar to its inspiration, this combat racing game is set in the future. Date 2075,
traverse through its hyper-kinetic railways while unlocking new weapons, crafting new
gears, and building an insane race car to dominate the feeble challengers.
With over 8 tracks and 6 race modes, the game packs a lot of content. However, it was slightly
criticized for its poor PC optimization and failure to get the spirit of what WipeOut
was known for. It has a PlayScore of 6.86
The Long Journey Home.
Ever since No Man’s Sky’s demise, there has been an increase in open-ended space exploration
where everything is procedurally generated. TLJH is one of them. After a freak accident
on what was supposed to be a simple test-flight, follow a misfortuned crew as they voyage through
the great beyond finding refuge through research, archaeology and diplomatic means.
Lead your crew and explore alien worlds because this game is challenging and unforgiving.
Players loved the game’s open-ended design but unsatisfied with its controls. It has
a PlayScore of 6.96
Valkyria Revolution.
If you’re craving for the unique BlitZ system from the famed Valkyria franchise, then unfortunately,
you’ll be disappointed. Moving away from its tactical gameplay, Revolution takes it
to a different level where Dynasty Warriors meets disappointment. It’s not exactly bad,
the story is still reminiscent to the classic Chronicles, but it’s gameplay doesn’t
really work with its setting. This makes it the primary concern for most players and critics.
Aside from that, the cutscenes take too much time. It would’ve been better if it was
a Metal Gear Solid game, but apparently it isn’t. All in all, this game doesn’t capture
the heart of the original and it has a PlayScore of 7.30
Mirage: Arcane Warfare
A multiplayer first person shooter from the developers of Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.
Get caught in a civil war between armor clad magicians with enigmatic powers and face your
opponents in violent skirmishes. As skill-based as it may be, players are upset about the
game’s unbalanced nature. Combat is fun and all but the pacing gets in the way. It’s
just not fun when you’re doing battles alone. On top of that, most players hated the games
toxic community.
On the bright side, it’s a decent experience if you just want to rekt other people in the
face with immense magic. It has a PlayScore of 7.04
Friday The 13th The Game.
Travel to Camp Crystal Lake and get ready for a night of terror and delights. Jason
Vorhees is back! Step into the shoes of this unkillable serial killer and haunt six poor
teenagers trapped in his demented world. It’s a hide-and-seek game which means players can
also choose from its six teenagers and escape from the clutches of Jason. It’s hunt or
be hunted.
As far as the game goes, it’s hampered with game-breaking bugs and it’s not very enjoyable
when played alone. Players are also concerned on how overpriced it is for a game that skipped
early access. Either way, the game received really mixed receptions. It has a PlayScore
of 7.06 on the PS4 and 6.42 on the Xbox One.
Skylar & Plux: Adventure On Clover Island.
A homage to the wonderful 3D platformers of our youth. Go in an adventure of a lifetime
to collect gadgets and unlockables in a paradise threatened by evil. Take control of Skylar
Lynxe and Plux Owsley as you traverse snowy mountains, fiery hot volcanoes and more. It’s
pretty much like Ratchet & Clank, but with a slightly less budget.
It’s incredibly fun according to most reviews and you could easily tell the inspiration
from PlayStation’s iconic duo. It’s only gripe is that most people see it as an Early
Access game due to the lack of content. Either way, it’s still enjoyable with a decent
PlayScore of 7.38
Danger Zone.
Think of it as a slightly-less amazing Burnout. It tries to resurrect the race and destruction
genre but fails to deliver most of the mayhem it once delivered. It just doesn’t feel
like a completely new game. Negativity aside, players can put their pedal to the metal with
their various game modes that reek of chaos and explosive engines. Powered by the Unreal
Engine 4, expect the explosions to feel real if not glitchy.
Drive into the danger zone because this game may not be perfect, but it packs a good amount
of fun for players who just want to feel the burning rubber in the morning. It has an okay
PlayScore of 7.40
Tokyo 42.
An isometric shooter that takes you to the neon-filled city of miniature Tokyo. This
hyper-realistic game oozes with the aesthetic visual flair providing a colorful and action-packed
experience. Future Tokyo is just so beautiful.
Framed for a murder you didn’t commit, find out the truth by completing a gauntlet of
missions in its single-player campaign. The developers call it as the lovechild of Syndicate
and the classic GTA. Just like isometric games with futuristic vibes, expect a jamming soundtrack
to please your eyes.
Gamers were pretty much enjoying the game’s design. However, it was lambasted for its
wonky shooting mechanics and sometimes uncooperative camerawork. It has a PlayScore of 7.56
Starpoint Gemini Warlords
Build your mighty fleet and send them into the battle among the stars. This third person
space combat gameplay mixes RPG elements and simulation. It’s the perfect combination
of RTS, RPG, and everything in between. At this point we could just call it a better
No Man’s Sky, but a slightly better Elite Dangerous.
It’s pretty massive, according to most gamers. There’ so many things you could do and the
possibilities are endless. But it’s not perfect, for the first timers, this would
seem like a chore. Aside from that, bugs are also persistent during most cases. But nonetheless,
the game receives a PlayScore of 7.59
Star Trek: Bridge Crew
It’s only a matter of time before we can finally play a good Star Trek game. Bridge
Crew is one of them. Although it isn’t really the best Star Trek game to date, it still
provides good fanservice for the longtime fans of the series. The game’s biggest selling
point is that it’s a Virtual Reality game.
Lead your hearty crew in The Federation and meet the iconic characters from the Star Trek
franchise. Explore an uncharted world filled with the unknown and navigate through the
use of the VR’s controls.
Critics praised the game for its rich immersion to the VR world but somehow lacks the content
and depth for replay value. It does get a decent PlayScore of 7.99 on the PS4 and 7.81
on the PC.
Everspace
Space exploration games are booming like crazy on the Steam charts. Shoot, craft and explore
at your own whim in a world full of great visuals and captivating story. This action-focused
single-player shooter combines roguelike elements at ease. It tests your resourcefulness when
you’re out in the big gaping void of space.
Customize your ship and dazzle around the stars. It was widely praised for its lush
visuals and intense difficulty level, this this game is for you. Their primary concern,
however, was its insane difficulty. How’s the death count? Think of it as Dark Souls…
but in space. It has a PlayScore of 8.13 Old Man’s Journey
A soul-search puzzle game according to the developers. It tells the story of life, loss,
and hope. Experience joy, pain, and anything in between as you follow an old man interacting
the world around him. He creates stories via puzzle-solving and exploration.
It offers a very powerful tale of old-age, and it does it with serene landscapes and
gorgeous colors. Once again, it’s poignant and it really gives you the feels. Play this
with a napkin at your side. Probably. It’s as if the only gripe this game has is need
more of it.
It has a PlayScore of 8.19
ARMS
After a few years of speculation, Nintendo’s latest IP did work. Switch’s very own fighting
game delivers a good punch to the fighting genre. Using your Joy-Con, punch away the
enemy with its motion controlled features. It’s fun and it’s different.
From its cast of memorable characters, to their very own moveset, ARMS requires a couple
of hours to get soaked into. The deep learning curve makes the game difficult for new players.
But once you get the hang of things, get ready to face the real players via online or locally
with your friends. As silly as this game sounds, it really, really works.
It has a good PlayScore of 8.24
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap
It’s amazing how platformers transcend generations of gaming. With the birth of fast-paced action
RPG’s and guns-blazing first-person shooters, these kind of games are shunned. This time,
Lizardcube’s indie platformer charms the many players around the world with its retro-style
atmosphere.
Follow a half-lizard, half-dragon boy as he set his sights across the horizon just to
cure his curse. The game has clearly shown its age. But aside from that, everything is
very well done. The soundtrack, slick gameplay, and vibrant colors, it’s definitely a well-loved
classic. The game has a PlayScore of 8.29
The Golf Club 2
A dynamic golf game. Assemble and join online societies with your friends in a quest for
fame, glory and fortune. It’s pretty much like your average golf game but with a few
tricks up their sleeves. It has over hours of interactive content, single-player mode,
and improved course creator. Additionally, the graphics provide a colorful experience
to the golfing world.
Unfortunately, it was panned because of its lack of multiplayer features. But hey, it’s
still a fun game for golfing enthusiasts. It has a PlayScore of 8.30
Rime
A third-person adventure puzzle game, play as a quiet boy who washes upon a strange and
mysterious island. Differentiating itself from the others, RiME does not offer any sort
of combat, focusing mostly on puzzle-solving and exploration. Discover its many secrets,
as you explore the serene environments together with a magical fox, unraveling a series of
tricky dungeons and a captivating story of love and loss. As you wander around, you’ll
get to know a collection of intriguing characters that adds to the vibrancy of the game.

a memorable game that would surely send you to a feels trip. Feels bad man. It has a PlayScore
of 8.49

Gamers loved the game. Ever since it was released as an arcade game in Japan, it quickly gained
a competitive scene. Its new Rage Art and Drive make it a challenging new addition to
the core gameplay. The story, however, was its weakest point. But we all know Tekken
