Creeper World is one of my favorite video game series that I like to revisit. It's tactical comfort food. Each one has an interesting story that's fun to experience on a second playthrough. I found CW4 to be a little more difficult than previous games in the series, but once you get over the learning curve, it's just as fun.

There's an update to this game that introduces stutter in the form of micro freezes (1-10 seconds) and constant poor frame pacing. There's a youtube video detailing how to go back to a working version (v1.25) Check it out. The only thing lost when reverting versions is the comrades expansion. I'm running:

i9 9900k
Titan Xp
16Gb RAM

If they can fix the stuttering via an official patch, then I'd change my recommendation.

This game is incredible. Simply incredible. Very short, I think I finished it in 3 hours or so. Not much in the way of gameplay, but there is something special here in the script.

This was a lot of fun! I bought it for $3 during the steam sale. Having played it, it was worth every penny. To review in one sentence: Evoland is short and sweet.

It's basically a trip down 90's RPG memory lane. In the game you get upgrades. Each upgrade improves the game. For instance, there's the '256 color' upgrade, the '3d' upgrade, and even an "HD Texture pack" upgrade. I won't spoil any more, but there are some clever ways the game gives you to make itself more fun.

As for the gameplay, it's changing so often that once you get the reference and appreciate it's implementation, it's on to the next innovation. This is not a bad thing.

Lastly, there is a minor technical issue. In order to play the game with a gamepad (highly recommended) you have to set the executable and one other file to run in compatibility mode with windows 7 and run as administrator. This will hose your hours played in steam.

If you're at least 25 years old, there be good gaming here.
