Axiom Verge is a highlight for those that haven’t yet played the modern take on classic Metroid. Dex is a side-scrolling cyberpunk RPG we rarely see. I bounced off of it while struggling with keyboard controls for its intricate melee, but would welcome a chance to try with a controller.
Forza 6 is one of the best in-class. THPS 5 holds up the other end of the spectrum as one of the worst.
WWE 2k17 is a mediocre wrestling game but WWE fans have little alternative. It could be worth grabbing at 50% off.

Mathew Falvai
Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
