Deadman Diaries shows how hunting down bad endings can be enjoyable, but when it comes to the other things that make a good gamebook, like compelling choices, a strong narrative, or interesting characters, it comes up well short of the baseline. It's an interesting experiment, but I don't feel the results turned out terribly well.

While it may be easy to start the descent in Journey Below, it's a far harder task to reach the bottom - and even more difficult to put down.

It's a fantastic example of the way that mobile-focused design doesn't have to mean that a game has to be any less deep or engaging in a long-term way. However you decide to play Reigns, you have to play this fun, inventive, and engaging game.

I can find a few faults with Blitz Breaker for sure, but for the most part, it's a cool concept at its core, and minus a few unnecessary frustrations, the game is worth checking out.

Eden: The Game is a special type of project that won't appeal to everyone. If you're looking to feel a rush pretty much at all times, battling danger left and right while you build your new utopia, directly interacting with other hostile players, look elsewhere. Everyone else will find a little bit of respite, even if the overall system could stand for a few upgrades and new scenarios down the line.

Admittedly, Bulb Boy is a bit on the short side, as you can beat it in a couple of hours without too much difficulty. Walkthrough videos can be found online, too, if you do get stuck at any point, due to the game having released on PC before this. It's not the best point-and-click adventure game you'll ever play, nor is it the lengthiest experience. But it's got charm in spades, and is a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Don't expect it to blow your mind, but if you want a well balanced puzzler, Quell Zen is your huckleberry. It could use a lot of polish but that's mostly from a visual perspective, because the brain teasing elements and accessible controls are intact.

I can recommend this game to you if, and only if, you are OK with freemium stuff. I will say that if you have friends to play with, you can send each other energy, which likely makes all of this much more tolerable. If you’re interested in the idea of a fast paced arcade hidden object game or just a fan of the source TV show, it’s definitely worth a look.

With some tweaks to the freemium element, I could easily see this being a game of the year contender, and I mean that. The pixel art is universally detailed and gorgeous, the environments are unlike most I’ve seen, and racing has proven to be consistently enjoyable. The game is not only fun, but wonderfully, absolutely silly and unique.

I'm not just addicted to Snakebird, I'm in love with the beautiful art style and endearing design of the character itself. I'd love to see an expansion, a sequel, and a spinoff -- at this point, I'm all in.
