With a wintery world, beautiful graphics and horrifying monsters, Fade to Silence could have been one of the most unique survival titles in years. Unfortunately, poor design choices and outright bugs condemn it to being a decidedly less than average adventure.
Don’t Escape: 4 Days to Survive is an old school style point and click adventure that tries to stay grounded with real world solutions to the game’s many problems, while also presenting a compelling and somewhat epic sci-fi story.

It’s a beautiful tale rooted deeply in Japanese folklore that also looks amazing. If you want some nearly impossible challenges and the resulting rewards, Sekiro is your game.
Billy is heading back to Stardew Valley for a second stay on the farm, but this time he is checking out the mobile version of the game.
Mages of Mystralia is a cool Zelda-like game that puts a heavy emphasis on crafting your own unique arsenal of spells. It’s so powerful that you can even break the game a little bit, solving puzzles far before you should.
