Puzzle Agent 2 is basically the same as the first, except the storyline is infinitely more interesting (and just as wacky!). The puzzles themselves are basically more of the same, but if you enjoyed the first game, you will enjoy this game.
It's Shovel Knight, what more is there to say? You also get the soundtrack included in the game, and for the low price of the DLC, this is definitely worth it.
Puzzle Agent is a game similar to the Professor Layton series - you have a story which involves a mission of some sort, and you click around areas to talk to people and progress the plot. In order to do so however, you have to do various different types of puzzles which crop up from time to time. Puzzle Agent is a whimsical little story which good voice acting and a very cartoonish like plot, but it's still enjoyable all the same and proof that games don't need to take themselves seriously to be enjoyable. The puzzles themselves are generally not too hard - they are of the logical type that you would see in Professor Layton, but it never gets too complex. Recommended if you want a chill puzzle game.
What starts out as a simple "denied" or "approved" immigration officer simulator quickly ramps up into more complex checks, along with extremely difficult choices to make - do you deny someone into the country to get your full paycheck, or do you let them in to save them from something serious (e.g. human trafficking) but risk endangering your family? The complexity of the choices that this presents you alongside the backdrop of trying to keep your family alive is honestly quite soul crushing - but that's the point, and the experience of playing Papers, Please is not one I have ever come across before. I found this game difficult to put down once I started, as it has a very addictive quality and it constantly throws curveballs at you to keep it from being mundane. Highly recommended if you want something different, yet enjoyable.
Hollow Knight is one of those games that comes around that just focuses on being a good game, and does so very well. The platforming, the exploration, and the combat is refined very well, and the game manages to never feel unfair, even in the harder combat encounters later in the game. Top-tier Metroidvania that other games should take note of.
Disco Elysium is proof that TTRPGs can translate very well to video games in the modern era. There's no combat in this game, everything is done through dialogue and skill checks. The dialogue in this game is witty and funny, and all the different 'routes' you can take with your dialogue choices and skills make for an extremely fun time. You can approach most problems in all sorts of different ways, and even failing checks can still be a good time with what the game comes up with. Recommended if you love games where you make your own choices and also ones that get deep into the philosophy of things.
Dino Crisis 2 is not the same as Dino Crisis 1. Rather than being a Resident Evil clone, Dino Crisis 2 tries to do something different and focuses more on action and scoring, rather than simply survival. In this game, the aim is to kill everything and anything, and to do so quickly and without taking damage. Doing so racks up huge score combos which gives you lots of currency to buy new guns, ammo, tools, and health. It's kind of a proto-RE4 but played in the classic fixed-angle style, and it works extremely well. Highly recommended.
Dino Crisis needs no introduction. This GOG version plays extremely well with little issues, and since it's a port of the old PC versions, contains both the Japanese and western versions of the game as original and arrange modes respectively. If you're a fan of the classic Resident Evil games (Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3, Code Veronica), this game is a must get for your collection.
