If you're the type who enjoys games that let you create characters and influence their stories, then this game might be worth a try. Wildermyth has several stories for you to insert your creations into, and allows you to keep a legacy of your favourites which can reappear in future stories. Couple this with the custom scenarios you can play through and you have a game with plenty of replay value.

Ghostrunner is possibly the most fun experience I've had playing a game in a while. This game is a short one, as it only took me about 6 hours or so to complete, but the fluid, fast paced gameplay and instant respawning coupled with the timer encouraging you to beat your best time makes each level a treat to replay over and over again.

The gameplay mechanics in particular are probably the part of this game I enjoyed the most, with the player being able to dash, wallrun, grapple and slow down time among other several equally fun options. Every enemy in the game can kill you in one hit, but you can kill them just as easily, making encounters a test of how well the player can navigate the area and pick off each enemy one by one, and it might be this type of lethal exchange that draws me to the combat of Ghostrunner. Despite how often I died in most levels, I only rarely found myself frustrated as I was having too much fun slicing enemies left and right to be upset over a few failures.

Speaking of the levels, there are a little under 20 to play including the boss levels and most of them are a blast to play, encouraging the player to experiment by offering a variety of options they could take to clear each area. Some levels I feel drag on for a bit too long and there are a couple close to the end which introduce a certain enemy type that I particularly disliked, but even that wasn't enough to sour the experience for me.

If what I've described sounds like something you could enjoy, then I absolutely recommend buying this game. There is probably a lot more I could say about this game as I'm only scraping the surface with this review, but if what I've managed to put into words here isn't enough to convince you, there's always a demo you could try.

Come on guys, this game needs more love.
