Better than Ori and the Blind Forest?

Game of the Year

Despite it's numerous flaws (janky camera, only a few different types of enemies, stupid weather mechanic in the Shifting Sands, only one desert biome, and more...) and multitude of bugs (bosses/keys not spawning, doors failing to open, soft-locks, graphical issues ranging from misaligned textures to vertex explosions, audio looping, audio levels too quiet/too loud, audio logs and cutscene dialogue playing over each other, and more...) this was an enjoyable game. I was invested in the story and characters (Joule's voice actor carried this game). Her robot companions were useful in both combat and puzzles, and combined with excellent dungeons and well-designed backtracking provided strong gameplay progression. Ending could've been more satisfying, but I would happily play through a sequel should they ever make one.

Best game Remedy have made yet. Loved every second of it. Collectibles actually worth collecting. Fantastic meta-narrative linking all their previous games into a 'Connected Universe'.

Also... Alan Wake!

If you've played World of Warcraft... you know what addiction is. Do not play this game if you want to stay sober.

Warframe mixes the social aspects of WoW with the loot from Diablo 2 - then it adds a sprinkle of Tony Hawk, Guitar Hero, and Magic the Gathering... wraps it in a 3rd-person parkour-shooter, and serves up a plate of the most delicious power fantasy imaginable. Confusing to start, endlessly replayable, and a never-ending, glitter of shiny particles to melt your brain, Warframe is the most addicting game I've played since Rocket League and Left 4 Dead.

Anyone want to play Lunaro?

Overly-simplistic puzzles. Combat lacks any depth. Final boss has a really stupid gimmick to defeating him. Story is lacking any sort of conflict or drama. NPCs have nothing of value to say. Shops have only 1 worthwhile item to buy. Fishing was not fun. Travelling from island to island is on-rails with basic shooter mechanics(should have allowed me to control where I sail, or just removed this portion altogether). Many treasure chests have terrible loot(5 gold for a dirty shoe isnt even worth my time to open - or refilling bombs/arrows when I'm always at max anyway). Levels are crudely designed and resuse the same objects. 5 different magic spells felt completely unnecessary(I only ever used 2 and even then used them maybe a half dozen times - including combat and puzzles). Music was nice but repeated too often. Has about 60-70 challenges, but the only way to see them is to sail to an island and wait for 3 of them to pop up on screen or alt-tab out of the game and check the steam achievements(steam-overlay doesn't work and cannot click on the challenges section in the ingame menu UI for some reason) Why did I even bother playing this mobile-port of a game?

5/10 I do not recommend this game.

Also ....why do bloodstones take 30 hits? A collectible item is the hardest 'enemy' in the game. Crab thing gets killed in 2-3 hits. skeletons die from 3-4hits. the final boss dies from about 20hits. bloodstones take 30hits? so stupid.

Masterpiece. Love everything about it.

Endlessly replayable. Still finding new campaigns to enjoy. Slicing up zombies with a katana never gets boring. Try not to kill your teammates with the grenade launcher.

Best puzzle game since Portal 2. Great ambience. Brilliant puzzles. Wish I could forget everything so I could play it again for the first time.

If you like the show, you'll like this. Turn-based RPG-lite. Lots of fart jokes.
