Hades hands down. Roguelikes in general are perfect for this, but Hades is the most approachable for anyone new to the genre and it kicks ass. Amazing story, characters, but above all else—combat. The game feels fantastic. It’s perfect for getting single run in when you just have 10-20 minutes, but be careful. You may…

I’ve been replaying ‘Pokemon Let’s Go: Eeevee!’ in short bursts. It works particularly well because, let’s face it, it’s the best-looking Pokemon game of all time. Every time I load it up and see a realized Kanto I’m brought back to my childhood. What’s more, it’s a short game, and that nostalgia factor is amped up…

What The Golf? It’s fun and since it’s hole based it’s easy to pick up or put down.

I’ve been enjoying Slay the Spire immensely. It scratches that itch when you have a new kid and only have a few minutes to play at a time.

Superhot VR. No contest. Superhot VR is the quintessential VR experience. Time only moves when you do as you try to kill all the baddies using guns, knives, broken bottles, and whatever else you can throw at them. Action sequences become puzzles of determining who in the room is the largest threat and what are your…

Gone Home. This is in my mind a must-play for everyone. A lot of non gamers perception of what video games are is shooting people with guns. Gone Home shows game can be art by telling beautiful narrative stories with meaningful characters. This game kicked off an entirely new genre within the industry. It’s also…

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. The Ace Attorney games have always been noted for their humor, but this is, in my opinion, the funniest of the bunch. From working with the great Herlock Sholmes, to the way the self proclaimed greatest justice system in the world conducts its trials, the humor and story line just…

My nomination is a little more obscure YA property - Everworld. It’s a series by K.A. Applegate, who also created Animorphs

For (several) gods’ sake, The Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne by Brian Staveley.
1. All the brutality leveled at main characters from Game of Thrones with little to none of the rape
2. A very tangible and antagonistic pantheon, each god of which has its own very fascinating clerical practices
3. Magic users that operate…
