It's Divinity: Original Sin 3. I really liked Divinity: Original Sin 2.

Rather repetitive, getting recipes takes way too long, and gameplay highly limited by gearlevel walls. Also encourages leaving on in the background, since 2-24 hour background timers only elapse while in-game, to passively gather resources required for crafting.

Like Diablo 2, with paper mario aesthetics, and roguelike cards for abilities. Highly engaging and amusing, if a little simplistic overall. Could've used more levels, classes, ability interactions, etc. Plus, the narrow lanes make things simple, but obviously likewise constraining. The poor ability to scale with damage/entryways in later stages make late game much less interesting.

Fun to check out, great for an IP, could be improved. Get on sale.

It's a Slay the Spire clone, with 3 lanes. Granted, I love Slay the Spire, so this is a pretty good game too. Of course, it's got a bit of most card games in it; some Magic, some Hearthstone, etc. Pretty fun, if not the most novel concept or take.

A lot like void bastards and dead cells. Fps, roguelite, with rpg elements both within runs (talents that reset each run), and within the character (level up with talents which persist).

Pretty good, somewhat different. Roguelike 2-d sidescroller, brutally hard, with details pixel-particle physics and material interactions. Spray water on lava to cool it to solid rock and release steam, hide under the water while the top layer of oil burns off, or discover the randomized 3 powders/liquid mixtures to form the potion of Midas (you guess what it does). All as you acquire various perks per level, like immunity to fire, infinite breath, or a freezing aura, along with a variety of wand spells, like casting fireballs, lightning bolts, teleporting, or a nuke. Can feel unfair through RNG, and no healing between levels makes it unforgiving, but that's roguelikes for you.

Fantastic. Top down, isometric, roguelite hack'n'slash. Top quality: every line is voice acted, very well, and the number of different lines of dialogue, for identical actions/scenarios, is staggering. I'm still hearing brand new things, for simple things like clearing a stage, and it keeps the game from stagnating. Superb choice to put so much effort into this "little" element.

Also, incorporates incremental progress per run in the form of various currencies, which is the roguelite type I prefer; however, there are of course the options not to use these, and even challenges involving not using them, so purists can indulge themselves as well.

Amazing game, get it. A survival (thriller?), with ever escalating crafting and construction, as you attempt to escape after crash landing on an ocean planet. Over a dozen interesting, diverse biomes, full of creatures you initially fear, then grow to understand and master.

If you want to feel true emotion, wear headphones. If you want to NOT wet yourself, speakers work fine. Few games that come to mind can instill the true dread associated with looking down into a dark, watery abyss, hearing a distant, but not distant enough, roar of a reaper, and truly experiencing your small and powerless place in the vast sea.


While you will advance your technology, and become a force to be reckoned with, you are never immune to nature; even the largest ship you can build will begin to take on little leeches that slowly suck away its power, requiring you to manually get out and scrape them off. An attack by an irritating shark, or a bad turn into a rock can cause hull breaches, likewise requiring you to locate and manually repair them.

And all the while, you unravel a mysterious story about the alien inhabitants of the planet, and those who got here before you. A little bit of everything, fantastic, must-buy.

Replayability is limited(though not 0, for sure), because the biomes are hand crafted in structure, and relative orientation, such that repeat playthroughs share the same map layout. But, with only a compass and your own personal markers (no maps), you'll likely find that starting anew still shares a large amount of the directionless feeling as you first did.

It's alright.

Beautiful, enchanting, tragic, fun, complex, and just keep adding positive adjectives until there are no more words. One of my favorite games of all time, from story and ambiance especially, and gameplay is solid and interesting too. SuperGiant are masters of storytelling and world building, and this haunting soundtrack clings to my memory and has probably affected my life forever. Get it.
