• Hades II turns every run into a joyous, nearly faultless mechanical experience that teaches novel ways to play past the 50-hour mark.
• Dead Letter Department is a masterclass in independent horror that stretches the ordinary to become unsettling.
• Silent Hill F successfully captures the unsettling oddness of its characters and an unease about the whole situation.
