Game Reviews
Must-plays.
It's normally hard to recommend games without knowing the player. These games are ones that I'd never fail to recommend (because even if they aren't right for you, you're wrong!)
Baba Is You
This is one of the best puzzle/logic games of all time. Change the rules of the game as you play it to win. Really rewards a weird combination of logical & lateral thinking.
Slice & Dice
A roguelike dice battler - this game was clearly made with a lot of love and a lot of careful thought for balance. Endlessly replayable but also very quick to get into.
The Witcher 3
RPG with a great story, great characters, and a great world. Based on a book series that is rich in world-building, this game has a lot of depth & interesting story-telling.
Dominion
The board game that birthed deck-building as a genre. There's a great online competitive scene and it's a super deep game. No two starting set-ups are the same (probabilistically speaking)!
Honourable mentions:
- Civ 5, Slay the Spire, FTL, Prismata, Dream Quest, Hearthstone, Rome Total War, AoE 2, Among Us, TagPro, Portal 2, League of Legends, CSGO, FFX
TODO: promote some of these to "dated classics"
