  1. 1Alpha Protocol (2010)Alpha Protocol (2010) 7.5/10 on IGDBReleased 27 May 2010Obsidian's spy RPG is worth reconsidering for how conversations, alliances and mission order react to your decisions. Its return to sale on GOG gives new players a practical route into a game whose reputation was shaped by rough execution. Approach it as a reactive espionage story with character…0
  2. 2Mad Max (2015)Mad Max (2015) 7.5/10 on IGDBReleased 1 Sept 2015Released alongside Metal Gear Solid V, Avalanche's 2015 wasteland game had difficult competition for attention. Its strongest case is the car: upgrading a battered machine and using it in violent, dusty pursuits gives the familiar open-world structure a physical centre. Camp clearance and…0
  3. 3Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (2024)Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess (2024) 7.4/10 on IGDBReleased 19 Jul 2024Capcom reported sales below its plan for this striking action-and-defence hybrid. The reason to look again is how daytime preparation and night-time battles connect: assign villagers roles, prepare a route and personally fight to protect the procession. Its miniature-like villages and ritual…0
  4. 4Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (2018)Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire (2018) 8.3/10 on IGDBReleased 8 May 2018Deadfire's weak initial sales eventually gave way to a more successful long life, so treating it as a forgotten failure is misleading. Its worthwhile second chance is the richly reactive archipelago, flexible party building and competing factions. On PC, the added turn-based mode offers another way…0
  5. 5Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand (2024)Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand (2024) 7.0/10 on IGDBReleased 6 Aug 2024The Reign of Sand overhaul supplies a concrete reason to revisit a lukewarm first impression: new challenges, additional Essence Stones and revised voice performances support the original sand-surfing action RPG. Building momentum to change your combat options makes mobility more interesting than…0
  6. 6Fuga: Melodies of Steel (2021)Fuga: Melodies of Steel (2021) 8.6/10 on IGDBReleased 28 Jul 2021CyberConnect2 openly discussed this game's modest early commercial return, then went on to complete a trilogy. Start with the first entry for an unusually focused party RPG: children share a giant tank, swapping positions and managing resources through a war they did not choose. Its appealing…0
  7. 7Jusant (2023)Jusant (2023) 7.4/10 on IGDBReleased 31 Oct 2023Don't Nod reported disappointing commercial results despite strong critical reception. The climbing is the reason to give it another look: placing hands, managing a rope and reading the next stretch make progress feel physical without turning it into a conventional combat adventure. Abandoned…0
  8. 8The Saboteur (2009)The Saboteur (2009) 7.1/10 on IGDBReleased 4 Dec 2009The 2024 Steam release made Pandemic's 2009 Paris adventure easier to revisit on PC. Climbing rooftops, taking disguises and setting up explosions still form an entertaining resistance playground, while the shift between monochrome and colour gives liberation a visible effect. Its old-fashioned…0
  9. 9Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (2024)Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden (2024) 7.6/10 on IGDBReleased 13 Feb 2024Don't Nod's reported sales disappointment does not explain the value of its ghost stories. Each haunting asks you to investigate a relationship and decide what should happen to the people entangled in it, while the central couple gives those judgements personal weight. It is strongest when…0
  10. 10ReCore: Definitive Edition (2017)ReCore: Definitive Edition (2017) 7.1/10 on IGDBReleased 29 Aug 2017ReCore's original reception was dominated by technical problems and frustrating progression. The Definitive Edition adds areas, dungeons and a missing Corebot frame, alongside loading and gameplay improvements, making it the sensible version to reconsider. Fast traversal and colour-matched combat…0
