| 2.5 | Doom Eternal 2020 | Some nice shooty moments, but plenty of platform jumping sections that are just terrible. Using a trainer for infinite double-jumps recommended, and playing on easiest. |
|
|
|
| 3 | Star Wars: Fallen Order | Seems like an okay cutscene. Stutter from UE4-loading at almost every scene switch. |
|
|
|
| 2.5 | The Outer Worlds | 2h. Casual version of Fallout 3. Bored. |

| 2 | A way out | 2-player split-screen cutscenes and QTEs. similar to Uncharted. |
|
|
|
| 2.5 | Wolfenstein 2 | Linear fps with lots of cutscenes. |
|
|
|
| 2.5 | Cuphead (1h) | Mediocre platformer and shmup.¨Nice cozy visuals and sound. The colorbleeding and old film effect is just distracting after 2 minutes. Color bleeding can be disabled, but not other grain and bad picture. Can't disable rumble either. Bad mechanics and controls. Enemies are often not in line to be hit by shots, but they can hit me in the same line. |

|
| 2.9 | Doom (2016) | 45min campaign during free steam weekend. Graphical upgrade of the original doom. Probably other things improved too. |
|
|
|
| 2 | No Man's Sky (10h twitch) | Some mediocre procedurally generated terrain and animals. Add progressbars for grinding minerals, then sell them. |
|
|
|
| 2.5 | Axiom Verge (100% video) | NES Metroid wannabe. Intentionally bad graphics, for the worse. Unimaginative bosses and monsters. Makes dirty glitched cartridges into a game feature gun. Irritating sounds and flicker. 1:1 player/camera-movements, making it unpleasant to watch. Manual savepoints. Ugly character and weapon design. The game is not pleasing to look at, no eye-candy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-Du4qPXzbs&list=PL691tDYbcxx1rnDeaJjy23Go9ELugeG2Y |

| 4 | Inside (video) | It's Limbo 2. As with Limbo, no stupid GUI annoys you with 'Press X here to push' etc. https://youtu.be/pMi1xluha1U |
|
|
|
| 2 | Dead by Daylight | Like a tiny slice of H1Z1/Arma3/Culling etc. Version 1.0.1, played 70mins with 1 crash during game invite, and a bug where when crawling i couldnt self heal and the killer couldnt hurt me. |
|
|
|
| 4 | Starcraft 2 - Heart of the Swarm (2nd campaign) | Very similar to the first campaign, except you play as Zerg. Looks great in 4k 60hz, but sadly the mouse cursor is not scaled, so often you lose track of where the mouse is. Guides on the net suggest turning off acceleration etc. |
|
|
|
| 1 | Dear Esther | It's not a game. You just walk forward slowly for 15mins and fall asleep to some voice, then have to return back the same way. |
|
|
|
| 3 | Broken Age | 3 = worth playing for me, so I can discuss it with others. Not much of a game, no choices, basically no puzzles, just try random with random and watch more cut-scenes with voice acting. The whole "game" would work almost as well as a 20min cartoon, but instead it is very low pace and makes you click "next"/"next choice in conversation list" to make sure you don't fall asleep. Some minor fun/cute things and voice acting that brings the score up, and some quirky fantasy ideas, but overall too little for the time invested. I would recommend this to 12yo kids or your mum. For me personally, it was just a way to pass time when I were too tired to do better things. |

| 2 | Retro City Rampage | Random mess, not sure what people found here. (short play) |
|
|
|
| 1 | Hotline Miami | Horrible controls and graphics, but nice music. (short play) |
|
|
|
| 2.5 | Fez | Mediocre puzzle with bad graphics and controls, music is ok. |
|
|
|
| 2 | Guacamelee | Supposed to be a metroidvania, but levels are mostly empty (player too big on screen?), controls are too basic and clunky, graphics is too stylistic to be anything but beta quality. Music theme is fun. |

| 1 | The Showdown Effect | Multiplayer-only clone of 1000 other games. |
|

|
| 1 | The Binding of Isaac | No gamepad support |
|
|
|
| 4 | Starcraft 2 - Wings of Liberty (1st campaign) | Pretty much the same thing as the first one, but with added upgrades between missions and more advanced scripting. Runs okay with settings set to minimum on my macbook 2.0ghz, nvidia 9400m, 4gb ram, in 1280x800, but cut-scenes look crap. Any xbox360 game is way better in graphic quality. The game lacks a standard pause button, hitting Fn + F10 is bad, I'd like to scroll over the map while paused. Who thought of using the arrow keys instead of say WASD for panning, the arrow keys aren't in the right position for your hands. The armory upgrades mention things like "adds 10 to your unit's health" but not what the unit's current health is, so it's useless. |
