Warcraft III, If you have not heard of it, you've been living under a rock.
This game is fantastic. Not just the game as it shipped, but also the game it came to be.
Let me explain why:
The good:
- THE BEST EDITOR. Seriously, if you like modding, it'll never get better than this.
- Thousands of custom game modes to enjoy. You can play Dota here. Nearly all of the game modes are polished.
- An active and vibrant community. There are lots of people working on all kinds of projects, everyone will be happy to help you along!
- A huge story driven campaign that sets off the events in World of Warcraft.
The bad:
- The RTS speed might turn you off. Its rather slow.
- The engine cannot handle too many units at the same time, and lag will only hit those who own too many. (I guess it also functions as an auto-balance tool ;) )

Alright, if you are here to play multiplayer or enjoy great design, leave.
This game is not for you, at all.
If you are here to experience more "Avatar" and immerse yourself more into the world shown to us by the movie, then, by all means, get comfortable.
Avatar is a game that manages to capture the beauty of the movie perfectly while giving you the freedom to explore it all in a huge campaign that features multiple endings. It has all the things we learned to love from the movie and capitalizes greatly on it.
Alright, so what's the catch, right?
Well, to be honest, the design is rather old. They are clearly using spawners on some sections of the levels, and you'll notice it.
Also, the game tried to look realistic. It might be dated by the time you start playing it.
Additionally, do not play multiplayer. This game has been hacked years ago, and all fights are between those with the strongest hacks. If you don't hack, you lose. I'm sorry if you hoped to enjoy some "blue monkey v/s military dog" fights.

Jotun is a weird game.
Some will love it, others will hate it. Both are completely viable opinions; here's why.
The good:
- Jotun has some fantastic storytelling. The game manages to make each level truly unique.
- Jotun understands the need for scale. Nothing ever feels small. Unless we are talking about you - puny human -
- The game is challenging. There are some levels that are rather hard and require some thinking through!
- It handles mythology with care and respect. If you wish to learn a thing or two while playing, this'd be a good starter!
- Wins the "Best animation for a checkpoint" award.
The bad:
- There is always one boring level
- Apples are really, REALLY hard to find.
- The attacks are not perfectly balanced. Light attacks are almost never worth it (some exceptions apply, in which light attacks are suddenly the strongest thing in the world - All dwarves ever)
- The map sizes are huge. You'll hate the backtracking if you have taken the wrong path.
Overall, this game is not for everyone.
Its a good game. And it features some awesome fights, but you will need to really sit through it all to get there.
If you like the things you see in the "The good" section, you are very likely to just ignore all the flaws written in the bad section. But if they do not appeal to you, I'd recommend not buying this game.

If you ever played Drug Wars on a Texas Instruments graphic calculator in school, The Dope Game was made for you. I enjoyed it.
I really want to like this game again, but for me it has not aged well at all. At the time of release, the graphics and presentation were astoundingly bright, clear, and smooth.
Garbage without the Sega Dreamcast fishing pole controller. Throw this one back into the ocean.
Who thought it was a good idea to make NFL Blitz realistic? Terrible.
A tremendous game concept (time moves forward only as your character moves) masterfully executed. Unfortunately the VR adaptation of SUPERHOT isn't quite as good as the normal 2D version. But this is without question THE most innovative shooter I've played in years.
While I don't think it exceeds the original Nidhogg, the sequel Nidhogg 2 is a competent, fast-paced head to head battle simulator. The game is no longer about fencing necessarily, but controversially chose to take a completely different direction in it's art direction. To me it looks inferior to the original. Fortunately, the gameplay is just as satisfying in this sequel.
A completely silly premise skillfully executed, to make a wonderfully preposterous game. ClusterTruck is a lot of fun.
Bizarre, left field, and joyfully experimental. Bamboo EP isn't a blockbusters, that's for sure. But if you're interested in experimental indie games, this is a great one to explore for yourself.
A faithful and fun recreation of the original classic. Recently released on Steam, which is the best way to get this game. If you aren't experienced at Killer Instinct (as 99% of people aren't), make sure you turn on the combo assistance feature.
Still rough around the edges in full release, PUBG has become a global phenomenon worth exploring. Although copycats are near and far, there is nothing quite like the authentic PUBG experience, defined mostly by constant tension and fear of who is lurking around the corner.
One of the most interesting games of all time, remastered and made so much better. It's not just the visual fidelity which has been improved here, there are enjoyable new game modes and (free) support for VR included as well. An amazing value and a timeless game that everyone should check out.
Crushingly difficult and mocks you the entire way. In my opinion you are better off watching a Let's Play Youtube video about Getting Over It than actually dedicating your own time to this incredibly frustrating game.
Who'd have thought that Superflight would be so much fun? This easily-overlooked Steam indie title is one of the most simple, enjoyable premises I've encountered: fly dangerously. That's it. Check it out and see if this refreshingly elegant approach to procedurally generated flight doesn't do it for you also.
It seems like a gimmick, but if you are a Japanese learner, mastering the hiragana (and katakana) are absolutely crucial to establishing foundational Japanese. And fortunately, Hiragana Pixel Party does a good job at helping you commit these to deep memory while having fun. Think of Parappa the Rappa around language learning - it is that type of rhythmic gameplay. Recommended if you are at the beginner to intermediate level of Japanese learning.
It's short, but High Hell is a blast which I thoroughly enjoyed. Picture a first person, cell-shaded Hotline Miami and you basically have High Hell. Pulse-pounding fun and filled with character. Some of the best loading screens I've ever seen.
While the graphics are phenomenal, Fast RMX is extremely challenging and lacks a lot of what I'd consider basic game options to be an easy recommendation. Prior to the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch, I think Fast RMX was a good purchase but now it's a little more difficult to recommend. If you love Wipeout and F-Zero, this is for you, since those titles are absent on Switch.
