Fell & Sell: the dungeon exists to stock the shelves, and it is the cash register that got the most attention

You go down into the dungeon to fetch your stock, then you set the prices. The shop half is considerably better thought out than the sword half.

Folk Emerging: the game that stops where Civilization begins, and has you picking berries through an ice age

A palaeolithic 4X where every fallen warrior was also a hunter, a father and a memory. Beautiful, cruel, and far harder than it looks.

Police Officer: you pin the uniform, you put on the badge, and you search pockets for three hours

Neither the realism of the German simulators nor quite the fun it promises. Recoilless weapons, anonymous visuals and not a shred of co-op.

Shadow Dungeon: skill points are unlimited, and that single decision reshapes the entire game

An old-school hack and slash where half the loot carries skills. No seasons, no retroactive nerfs, no store.

Star Wars Zero Company: the game lets you build a hero, then gently explains he is not the star

A turn-based tactics game from fifteen XCOM veterans. Character creation is thin, and that is exactly what saves the writing.

States of Power: there are no hexagons, but look closer, those really are cardboard counters

A 1936-1945 grand strategy game that fits in one evening, with a built-in scenario editor. Austere, yes. But the austerity is a method here.

1666: Amsterdam: sixteen years of waiting for the month's most beautiful city, and writing that does not keep up yet

The project Patrice Desilets spent sixteen years reclaiming is finally here. The art direction is sumptuous. The storytelling still needs work.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2: a sequel that rebuilds its classes from scratch, and still says the opposite of Alien

Four players, six rebuilt classes, a Specialist that borrows from all of them and a restructured Horde mode. The game progresses, its reading of Alien does not.
