The original Moonlighter was a flawed gem. The sequel? It's a polished, addictive masterpiece that makes capitalism fun again.

I thought running a newspaper would be boring. 30 hours later, I’m sweating over a deadline, bribing the mayor, and yelling at my typesetters. News Tower is a gem.

This game lets you rip the legs off an alien and attach them to your own body mid-combat. SWAPMEAT is disgusting, weird, and genuinely a blast to play with friends.

Imagine if Vampire Survivors and a tower defense game had a baby, and that baby lived in a van down by the river. This is Monsters are Coming!, and I am obsessed with it.

This started as a Doom mod, but it evolved into something far darker. Total Chaos is a 20-hour descent into madness that proves you don't need 4K textures to terrify a grown man.

Winter Burrow is one of the most beautiful and well-written games I've played this year. It's also one of the most tedious and annoying. I am... conflicted.

This "Minecraft meets No Man's Sky" sandbox has a core of pure addiction... if you can ignore that it's unfinished, broken, and sold as a final product.

The premise is Coffee Talk meets Doom. You're a shopkeeper in the apocalypse, serving coffee, chatting with locals, and blasting zombies in the face.

Dark Quest 4 is the digital tabletop game I've been craving. It's a charming, turn-based dungeon crawl that feels like a classic TTRPG night.

The first House Builder was a solid sim. The sequel is a "meme version" that guts everything that made the original good and replaces it with bugs and clicker mechanics.

This game is a prime example of "stupid fun." It's a janky, cheap co-op horror game where a killer clown hunts you by listening to your mic.

I love the idea: run a nightclub as a front for a growing criminal empire. But in practice, this Early Access tycoon is a buggy, unbalanced, and janky mess... and I'm still hooked.

This is the weirdest game I've played from a big-name studio. Earth vs Mars is a goofy, budget Advance Wars clone, but its DNA-splicing mechanic is pure genius.

I usually hate extraction shooters. ARC Raiders is the exception. It's a gorgeous, polished, and addictive game that respects your time.

Tormented Souls 1 was a love letter. The sequel is a full-blown attempt to steal the crown. It's bigger, better, and scarier, but its ambition comes at a cost.

This game isn't revolutionary, but it's the most fun I've had losing friends in ages. Capote is a chaotic Brazilian card game that's all about strategic betting and pure sabotage.

I loved the first Reus, and the sequel is better in every way. Reus 2 is a chill, beautiful, and deceptively deep god game that's all about strategic tile placement.

Forget the first game. The Outer Worlds 2 is the real deal – a deep, hilarious, and punishing RPG where your choices actually stick. My full thoughts are inside.

This is the Stalker co-op I've always wanted. It's also a janky, unfinished mess with save-corrupting bugs. But for $10? I'm torn.

Let's be real: RV There Yet? is another co-op "friendslop" game. But I can't deny that this $7 physics nightmare is one of the funniest I've played all year.
