Editor's Picks: The Games We Keep Coming Back To
The standouts that earned a permanent spot on our own screens.
Reviewing games for a living means playing a lot of them once and moving on. But a handful earn something rarer: a spot we keep coming back to on our own time. These are the games that, across genres, our editors genuinely recommend without reservation.
Greedy Dungeon, for the 'one more run'
No game in our catalog eats time quite like Greedy Dungeon. Its short, fair roguelite runs and that delicious risk-reward gambling layer make 'just one more' genuinely hard to resist. If you like RPGs that respect your schedule, start here.
Barbarian Rage, for tactile combat
A tiny brawler that punches well above its size. The weighty, timing-based combat rewards skill over mashing, and clearing a stage cleanly feels great every time. Proof that focused design beats bloated feature lists.
Sky Riders and Plumber Pipe, for skill and calm
Two very different highlights: Sky Riders is a one-button stunt racer with a sky-high skill ceiling, while Plumber Pipe is a calm, clever logic puzzle that rewards planning. Between them they cover both ends of the mood spectrum — adrenaline and zen.
You'll find the full set of editor-recommended games on our editor's picks page. Every one of them earned the badge the hard way: by being a game we actually wanted to keep playing.
