LGBTQ – Play Critically

Celeste Review

Celeste is one of the most incredible works of art in recent memory—in any medium.

Eternal Strands has incredible ambition and unexpected limitation.

En Garde! is fun while it lasts, which is not long at all.

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley is a simple, satisfying adventure suitable for all ages and experience levels.

I am uncertain if Frogsong is successful in its queer storytelling, but I appreciate its effort.

Unsighted’s time limiting mechanics make me feel for its characters in ways that pushes it towards the top tiers of greatness.

Kena: Bridge of Spirits has beautiful animation and art design but is too difficult to be a fun videogame.

Unpacking’s activity is removing things from boxes. The game is understanding what those things tell me about the unseen protagonist.

Hades is the perfect genre entrypoint for newcomers and a satisfying experience for veterans.

A mind-imploding ending can’t salvage Pixel Puzzle Makeout League’s easy puzzles and bad romantic relationships.
