Star Wars: Battlefront 2*: you do not need to play long to see why people are complaining on new Battlefront games. Amount of content here is amazing! And all this without DLC and crates... Multiplier is again available without modding so if you want a Star Wars themed multiplayer this would be more interesting option then current EA offering (if you do not mind a bit outdated graphics of course).
Strider: solid metroidvania, story is meh but gameplay is pretty good.
Maize: short and easy adventure game, with a bit of humor, and nice graphics. It's ok if you do not expect too much.
Rise of the Tomb Raider: good gameplay, ok story and gorgeous graphics. Very similar to first game and IMHO quite enjoyable. Unfortunately some of achievements are glitched, and backtracking to get 100% completion might be a bit annoying.
The Descendant: very similar to telltale games, but I think that the choices you make here are even more meaningless and do not matter 2 minutes later. I also encountered a case where a dialog in the game referenced situation that did not happen because my choice was different. And the voice acting sometimes fails - in general it is ok but sometimes you encounter a sentence that sounds out of place. Still, I would recommend the game because I really enjoyed the story.
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter: very good detective game with some QTE. It is quite easy because evidence are fairly easy to find and you can always change the final outcome if you will make a wrong judgement. Additionally some puzzles might be skipped but you should be careful with that if you want to get all achievements.
The Detail: a mix of comic and visual novel. Choices you make are only temporary, though a lot of achievements are tied to them. It is not bad, but there is nothing great here either.
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing: Final Cut: just three Van Helsing games stitched together with mechanics and classes from the third game. Fortunately barely any bugs (enemies are stuck from time to time but nothing serious) and I encountered only 2 crashes during play - comparing to Van Helsing III this is great. As fr the game itself, it is an ARPG with great music, tons of pop culture references, a lot of hidden content and a bit of humor.
