Hazelight knocked it out of the park. Even better than It Takes Two. Split Fiction is imaginative, polished, and above all - fun! I'm loving the storyline; Split Fiction is a very strong contender for game of the year. Buy it and have your friend download the friend pass to play together for free!

Fantastic game, but the cost model is rough. Invest wildcards in at least one meta deck you enjoy early on to help you grind daily wins and earn more cards.

This game is the definitive labor of love. There's so much depth and variety - Warframe is everything from looter shooter to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater to fishing sim to roguelike.

This game is underrated and I wish I'd pulled the trigger on it sooner! I haven't finished many games recently, but Guardians held my interest to the end. The casting for the Guardians was stellar and the dialogue is a lot of fun. These aren't quite the Guardians you may know from the MCU, and that's not a bad thing.

The story is an original setting, but characters' backstories are reminiscent of their MCU counterparts'. The writing retains the wit and banter the Guardians are known for, and the game's storyline balances the lighthearted and heavy ones well.

The combat at higher difficulties left something to be desired (enemies get very bullet-spongey), but individual difficulty settings are pretty configurable, making this less of an issue.

Finally, the game boasts a solid catalog of licensed music. Would they be the Guardians of the Galaxy without it? I loved this game and I'll definitely be playing NG+ in the future.

A great and varied core gameplay loop (many mission types, playstyles, and loadout options). This plus a consistently high-quality stream of updates make HELLDIVERS 2 well worth the $40.

I like hearing my friends scream.

Mentally damage yourself or your friends for the low price of $12. Brilliant concept, and definitely too brilliant for my comprehension.

The game was overall too unpolished to properly enjoy. Between wall clipping, multiplayer desync, and nonstandard controls, the experience was just too poorly done.

The forced tutorial is insulting.

Everyone hating on cyan, meanwhile I have over twice as many losses to purple...
