Infinite tabletop and card game possibilities! Some learning curve but very powerful once you get the hang of it.

After being an XBOX 360 exclusive for many years, Shadow Complex arrived on the PC in late 2015. It's a solid Metroidvania experience with a steady drip feed of weapon and suit upgrades, unlocking more and more of the map and causing your character to evolve from an average Joe into a superhero. While it's a short experience at around four hours, and the story is completely cliché, it makes for a nice couple of evenings of gaming.

Firewatch is a short, beautiful game that pulls on the ol' heartstrings with two endearing lead characters that communicate via radio. Your character is a middle-aged man working as a fire lookout in Wyoming while escaping his problems back home. While it starts relatable and bittersweet, the story shifts quickly into surprisingly tense territory, making this four-hour jaunt much less relaxing than I expected going in.

Her Story is a commendably unique experience that blurs the distinction between game and film. While there are some memorable moments to be found, the very short runtime of around 2 hours means it shouldn't be purchased for more than $5.
