Paradigm is an oddly charming adventure game about beatboxing mutants with plenty of referential humor reminiscent of Adult Swim's output, and a simple yet engaging story.

A narrative adventure that gives us a taste of Americana and digs at the roots of folklore, Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a fantastic experience, but a subpar game due to its inexplicably poor performance and, outside of its stellar writing, a bland and empty world.

The game that pretty much created a whole new flavor of narrative adventure updated for the PS4 and featuring both mainline seasons and the two spin offs totaling 19 robust episodes, The Walking Dead: The Telltale Series Collection is a great new way to experience this tentpole release.

A VR reimagining of one of the most popular PSP games from 2012, Pop-Up Pilgrims is a side-scrolling adventure platformer where you play as a cloud-riding god whose goal is to guide a number of pilgrims through a series of challenging levels. Seeing how the base game was already great, the one important thing to note here is that today, it's just as fun in VR.

Originally developed for a game jam and then expanded through a crowdfunding campaign, Superhot is a first-person shooter that takes the idea of "Bullet Time" to its logical conclusion so that the game's time advances only when your character moves. With the premise like this, the game is well-suited to a VR environment, resulting in a unique experience all around.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a visual novel that will test your sanity. First by all the excessive clicking through endless dialogue you'll be doing, and then by a dark twisted story that goes completely off the rails. And the latter is definitely worth suffering through the former. Especially since the game is free.

An off-road racing game that shows us that roads are overrated even when you don't have a flying DeLorean, Gravel features a multitude of events and game modes, with the key selling point being the unpredictable authenticity of it all.

Space makes everything better. Even indentured servitude, as Deep Sixed unequivocally proves. Forced to chart a nebula by a major corporation and given only the barest necessities to fulfill this job, the game will have you patching holes and dealing with endless crises in a whirlwind of engineering fun.

A visually striking adventure platformer, Fe invites us to traverse a mystical world, befriend certain creatures, and fight some villainous spiders while learning more about the game's world and experiencing a gradually unfolding story.

While the fantasy branch of Warhammer may not be as instantly recognizable as its 40k counterpart, Warhammer: The End Times – Vermintide is still plenty grim and/or dark, throwing our closely-knit teams of survivors against the relentless Skaven hordes heralding the impending apocalypse. In other words – fun for the whole family and a great co-op experience.
