Sakura Beach 2 is a continuation of the first game starring the same characters and pretty much recycling all the art and music. The addition of a new character could have made things a little more interesting, but unfortunately, the story still falls flat in every aspect. Even though the Sakura series isn’t exactly known for deep storylines or compelling characters Sakura Beach 2 is a low point.
Gameplay: A rather mundane story with meaningless choices.
Graphics: Not bad, but most of it is recycled from the first game.
Sound: The same repetitive songs as the first game

Gris is a beautiful platform adventure with wonderful level designs and interesting puzzles. It is a very serene experience, though, as there is no threat of death or fear of danger. Some players will enjoy this casual experience as they explore the world and engage in light puzzle solving, but others might find it a little too easy and boring.
Gameplay: The game is very easy, but exploring the environments is enjoyable.
Graphics: Gris features a beautiful art style and great animations.
Sound: The audio consists of an incredible soundtrack and great sound effects

Rot Gut is a very short platformer featuring a gun-totting agent taking down bad guys during the American Prohibition. There’s virtually nothing in the way of a storyline and each of the six levels on offer can be completed in a matter of minutes. The art style is unique, though, and the soundtrack pretty decent, but even with the cheap price-tag, there’s not a lot of value for money to be found here.
Gameplay: Lots of jumping and shooting, but it’s over before you know it.
Graphics: The noir pixel art aesthetic is not too bad actually.
Sound: The chiptune jazz soundtrack is the highlight of the game

Radiant One is a short, casual title about a man who has to deal with the fallout of his lucid dreams becoming nightmares. It was originally a mobile title, so the gameplay is extremely basic, but the interesting story and detailed visuals help to draw players in. It can still be completed in one sitting, though, so while fun this is not a title for players in search of a challenge or a lengthy story.
Gameplay: Interesting, but very simple and short.
Graphics: Detailed and well animated.
Sound: Both the soundtrack and sound effects are very good

House of Caravan is a first-person exploration and puzzle game set entirely in a small, deserted mansion. The limited amount of puzzles are disappointing, to say the least, and slowly creeping through the mansion opening every cabinet and drawer grows old very quickly. Thankfully, the game can be completed in less than 90 minutes, provided you manage to avoid the bugs and wonky physics. This game could have done a lot more with the story and setting but ended up falling far short in all areas.
Gameplay: Slow, tedious, and boring.
Graphics: Decent enough, but very dark.
Sound: Stilted voice acting and unmemorable music

Zenge is a simple, straightforward puzzle game combining tangrams and sliding blocks. The minimalist art style is easy on the eyes, and while the game is short, it keeps introducing new mechanics to keep the gameplay interesting. It is also as affordable as its mobile counterpart, so there’s no reason to miss out if you want to play it on your PC instead of your phone.
Gameplay: Playing the game is simple, straightforward, and quite relaxing.
Graphics: Visually, it is minimalist, but the story artwork is neat.
Sound: The audio consists of soothing piano tunes

Need For Speed: Rivals fuses some of the best elements of Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted. The exotic cars and scenic open-world setting of Rivals make for exhilarating races and chases while the ability to play as either racers or cops adds some variety to the mix. The locked framerate can be overcome, but it’s still a baffling inclusion and the heavy emphasis on online play will also be an annoyance to solo players. However, despite the flaws, this is still a great entry in the series and a lot of fun to play.
Gameplay: Fast and frantic, but some players might find it a little too easy.
Graphics: The Frostbite 3 engine is used to great effect in this game.
Sound: Decent soundtrack, overly dramatic voice acting, and good sound effects

Killing Floor 2 takes everything about the original game to the next level in terms of visuals, speed, and sheer fun. While the enemies remain mostly the same they look better than ever and the inclusion of new character classes, along with all the old favorites, means there’s plenty for players to master. The frequent updates with new maps and modes also contribute to the continued popularity of the game. Some players might find the wave-based enemy slaying repetitive, but once you get hooked few other games come close to the sheer visceral thrill that Killing Floor 2 can deliver.
Gameplay: Kill wave after wave of enemies while staying alive.
Graphics: Some interesting levels that can be decorated with the blood and gore of your enemies.
Sound: The industrial metal soundtrack is very fitting and the weapons all sound great
