Grim Fandango Remastered*: really good point & click game, story is nice and the music is really good. Unfortunately cut scenes have not been remastered and look terrible, also there a few problems with controller support.
INSIDE: very good game, really weird but IMHO it is worth to play it. Seemed fairly easy.
System Shock: Enhanced Edition*: controls are awful, and sometimes it feels you’re just walking in a maze. But you can feel that for its time it must have been revolutionary and the music is great (and I can believe I say that about midi music).
SUPERHOT: interesting concept, feels more like puzzle game than FPS. It is pretty short, but there are many challenges that can significantly boost play time.
The Deadly Tower of Monsters: really fun game, in the style of b class movie. Also it is fairly easy apart from survival mode.
Black Mesa*: I must confess that I never played Half-Life so this my first time with this story. I liked it, though some sections seemed a bit to long. It is pretty hard, i played it on normal but switched to easy for final fight as I got really pissed after several deaths. Oh and the hat achievement is really annoying, if it would at least stay where you leave it and not roll… For now I marking this one as beaten because last level is not available yet.
The Magic Circle: very weird but interesting meta game. Possibility to mix abilities of creatures you can edit makes for really interesting combinations, e.g. you can add flying ability to turtle-like creature and use it as a platform to travel through the level.
Layers of Fear*: a creepy walking sim with unnecessary jumpscares but overall pretty good game, I liked it a lot. It is a short game to beat (though you should find all memories to discover whole story), but a bit cumbersome to complete. Getting all endings and achievements can be annoying as the guides are a bit confusing.
Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition: I have mixed feelings about this one. I enjoyed humor and metroidvania elements, but fight and platforming were very hard (fight with Flaming Skull and platforming in the volcano with rising lava was just ridiculous) and sometimes you have to deal with both at the same time. Sometimes it just felt unfair and this game actually made my hands hurt :-/
