Everybody's Golf Hot Shots is a massive hit, offering plenty of fun and exciting modes along with gameplay that's easy to lean yet tricky to master.

Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector is beautiful, but no cake-walk. It will challenge you, with sudden decisions, genuinely difficult dice rolls, and the inability to just save-scum your choices. You’ll fail things and roll with the consequences, which in turn has the power to change how you approach the game. Sometimes you may just find that the easy route is more attractive, even if it ultimately dooms the people around you. This, like the first title, is a special game, one that will shape itself around your decisions and map your fate by chance as much as choice. It may test you, it may frustrate you, but my advice is to stick with it, because until you reach a fail state there’s always a way to keep going, keep exploring, and keep surviving in the harsh, unforgiving vacuum of space.
