Killer is Dead - Dr Dogg
"Grasshopper Manufacture’s 2013 console exclusive bizarre-em-up unexpectedly hits PC. Also as the subtitle suggest it also includes
some extra content; Theatre Mode to rewatch the story cutscenes, The Smooth Operator Pack (which was bundled in console first
prints) that adds a new Chapter and Boss encounter as well as X-Ray Glasses for Milamber Gigolo Mode, and a new difficulty aptly
titled Nightmare Mode which only allows enemies to be defeated with a few of the special moves and removes the QTE Finishers.
I played through the first 5 hours of this on PS3 and it was what I came to expect from a GHM game, simplistic combat mixed in with
quirky aesthetics and driven by an ambiguous and bonkers plot. Only damp spots on the game for me were the inconsistent frame
rate and bad screen tearing so a PC release and possibly 60fps+ is more than welcome."
Always Sometimes Monsters - BinaryPork2737
"A mature story driven game, Always Sometimes Monsters is set to feature a wide range of variables that will affect how you progress
through the narrative. You can choose a variety of characters with different races and sexual preferences, as well as both genders, each
factor affecting how NPCs will react to you; just like real life, others are biased. There are blurred moral lines between the story altering
choices you're forced to make, and not all of the branching paths in the game will end well; the consequences of your actions are heavily
stressed. In a tale in which you've just been evicted and you're completely desperate, your decisions will alter your destiny for better, or
worse."
Wolfenstein: The New Order - Levyne
"Wolfenstein: The New Order is a first-person shooter developed by MachineGames, headed by ex-members of Starbreeze, and it is the
first Wolfenstein title entirely without the id software label. The New Order seems to hark back to a classic age of FPS games, with limited
health regeneration, health and armor pickups, secret passageways, hidden weapon unlocks, and no limit to weapon usage. The game
features numerous set-pieces wrapped into a surprisingly engaging alternate-reality narrative. While it does not feature multiplayer, the
extensive campaign along with a light perk system and a mysterious hidden mode should give players looking to hunt some Nazis good
reason to give this title a look."
Battleblock Theater - dark_inferno
"As Stamper said in the Intro : "Turn the lights down low and shut your faces, as i wrap you in a cozy blanket of a story." You will have a
good time blowing people to smithereens with your small gentleman frog, who is walking in a fashion way into Hatty Hatingtons hell.
You will collect lots of hats... oh sorry i mean... heads. Box-shaped heads, knight heads and heads heads. If you like collecting things
and you like wearing 5 Oculus...es...es while using your level-manipulation tool to make awesome levels for others to enjoy, and you
absolutely love unique MP modes then this game is for you and the SS Friendship full of friends is not that far away. Also Stamper is the
best narrator ever. Buckle your Pants for entertainment."
Transistor - MMBosstones86
"Transistor is a sci-fi RPG from Bastion creators, Supergiant Games. You play as a young singer named Red as she comes into
possession of a mysterious intelligent sword, Transistor. Armed with the Transistor, Red must escape The Process while learning more
about the mysterious sword. Gameplay includes real time free movement as well as a strategic planning phase. After battles, experience
points as well as skill upgrades are earned."
M.A.V. - Modular Assault Vehicle - More_Badass
"M.A.V. is the PC Chromehounds you always wanted. Across a single player campaign and multiplayer modes, you construct mechs from
thousands of parts and wage war across sprawling battlegrounds. As the developer elegantly put it for the successful Kickstarter, it's like "
playing with legos, only you're building a giant mech of destruction."
Tabletop Simulator - CrunchyFrog
"Tabletop Simulator - Put simply, it's board game night brought into the internet age. With more than a dozen built in game modes, mods
and custom content importation, all wrapped in a no rules/no obstacles sandbox physics engine, you're free to play (or not play) however
you want. While it's still in early access, the game is already more than formed enough to be worth a purchase, and more official content
continues to be added every 1-2 weeks. In addition to the already available animated RPG figurines and tileset, Berserk Games have
pledged to add robust support for D&D and other P&P games, making this one of the best online P&P clients available. For $15, this
one's a steal."
The Forest - Grief.exe
"The Forest is a first-person, open world, survival horror game with an emphasis on crafting. You are the lone survivor after your plane crash
lands in the titular forest. You must solve the mysteries of The Forest while foraging for food, building shelters, and crafting weapons to
thwart off nature as well as those things that go bump in the night."
