Dredge is a 3D Sunless Sea. It’s…mostly fine.

The Talos Principle II
by LepcisMagna 
Sequel to the original philosophical Portal-like The Talos Principle, Croteam has decided that “sequel” just means “bigger.” While this isn’t entirely wrong, there are times they take that ethos a bit too far. I’ll be up-front: The Talos Principle II gets a Tier Two – there are many moments it reaches into Tier One, but particularly when compared to the original it never quite stays there. Regardless, this is probably worth a look if you played the original and want “more” (though not necessarily “better”). Read more after the break, where I’ll keep any spoilers to a minimum.

In some ways, Killer Frequency reminds me of Not For Broadcast. In others, it reminds me of Firewatch, and in some small ways it reminded me of 911 Operator.

Hi-Fi Rush
by LepcisMagna 
I very much wanted to like this game. And I may go back eventually to try it out (I did – and added my thoughts at the end), but the aggressive tutorialization and cutscenes every ten seconds really got to me in my first half hour – to the point that I’m writing this instead of playing the game, which is never a good sign.
