For a game that's railroaded, it is surprisingly hard to follow. If you aren't familiar with Chinese names, like me and my friends, you will probably be getting confused and mixed up a lot. I found the game and story to be interesting but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone else. Not worth playing overall.

Deep Rock Galactic is a game about dwarves.

Beautiful and grotesque little game. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of H.R. Giger. The combat however is rather obnoxious/poor so if you're looking for a fun shooter, you're looking at the wrong game. It's also very short, taking me only about five hours to finish it, even spending a lot of time exploring and admiring the environments.

A short and funny game. Definitely held together by its humor. It's not a super serious puzzle game (you can bumble your way through all the puzzles) so if you're only into that, maybe pass.

I don't want it to be over.

Big fan of cooperative games but this one greatly exceeded my expectation. Almost assuredly my game of the year of 2021.

One of those rare games that is truly a blessing to play blind. This game makes you feel things.

My only issue is with Hollow Knight is that you can only experience for the first time once. Great game that is uncompromising in its vision and difficulty. Hollow Knight is an example of what you should show to someone that doesn't know what a video game is.

A great game for those familiar with Zachtronics games. Open-ended puzzles that are more like engineering problems than puzzles.

Similar to SpaceChem but less frustrating since you don't have the same space constraints. You can expand indefinitely to get your first solution. The game will track your performance and you can compare yourself to your friends and the world. You can optimize for speed, area, and cost but not all at the same time. Players who want to push themselves will need to replay the puzzles with different mindsets to get to the scores.
