ABZÛ is a triumph of exploration and atmosphere. Its gorgeous underwater playgrounds are a joy to explore thanks to its perfectly tuned controls, awe-inspiring visuals, and beautiful sound design. A somewhat predictable story does little to hamper what is otherwise an utterly unique and rapturous experience.

The patient, cunning mindset Aragami puts you in with its strictly stealth gameplay is something we long for with more titles. With simple yet smart level design and mechanics, it proves to be a focused title with heart and soul that has learned much from its old masters. But the game does lack polish in its performance and appearance, and the AI can be irritating at times. Fortunately, the release’s story, visuals, and sound design ultimately help lift it out of the darkness.

Axiom Verge is PlayStation’s very own Metroid. That may sound a teensy bit degrading, but there’s no denying that this and Nintendo’s own space-faring adventure have more than a few things in common. Still, if being compared to one of the most beloved game series of all time isn’t a compliment, then we don’t know what is. If you’ve never seen the appeal of these types of games, then chances are this won’t change your mind. Devoted fans of the genre, however, will no doubt adore Tom Happ’s opus.

Since it’s confined to two player local co-op, it’s not as exhilarating as the six player online chaos in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge. It also lacks the consistently updated polish of Streets of Rage 4, yet Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons adds roguelite progression, which makes it a strikingly replayable contribution to the modern side-scrolling beat-’em-up resurgence.

• Roguelite replayability
• Tag team single player gameplay
• Online leaderboards
• References to Double Dragon series

• No online multiplayer
• Two player local co-op only
• Divisive cartoon art style

Enter the Gungeon is another in a long line of fantastic roguelikes. Its razor sharp twin-stick gunplay, huge variety of passive and active weapons, and clever world building make it an absolute joy to sink countless hours into. The lack of leaderboards or a daily run mode is a frustrating oversight, but you’ll be too busy running, gunning, and dodge-rolling your way through its many caverns to notice or care.

Fez has been around longer than the PS4, but Phil Fish’s puzzle platformer has stood the test of time. It remains a brilliantly unique game, with its dimension-flipping core mechanic leading to some astonishing twists and turns. As you run and jump through the (seemingly) 2D world, the game unfolds a grander mystery that’s a joy to discover. It’s a poster child for indie games for a reason.

Guacamelee! 2 is a worthy sequel to one of the finest modern Metroidvania games. Its blend of challenging platforming, satisfying combat, and new abilities makes for a thoroughly entertaining experience. Occasionally it can feel like you’re spinning too many plates, especially in multiplayer, but by and large, Juan’s new adventure is a compelling treat that you’d be loco to miss.

The pulsating soundtrack, the acid trip visuals, the unapologetic gore — Hotline Miami is a game that’s been copied but never truly replicated. A modern classic, this top-down mobster murder-’em-up is brutal in more ways than one. It’s a thrill ride from the word go, and a must-play for anyone who considers themselves an adrenaline junkie.
