    I took a break from Dragon’s Dogma 2 to revisit Double Dragon Gaiden, and DDG might honestly be my favorite game of this past year

    Game 088: Double Dragon Gaiden Here's a special one for y'all. Bringing a unique roguelite spin to the beat em up genre, as well as a very intuitive tag system, on top of being a fun, addictive game with satisfying combat and nice animated sprites, this is easily one of the best games in the genre.

Sniper Elite 4 in particular is a really fun stealth action game where it's always satisfying to hit headshots. ~$1 is a steal for the full version!

    there is the River city Ransom underground , it's also the game where Provie that you can see in RCG2 originate from. Double Dragon Gaiden is also kind of RPG-ISH since you can buy characters perks that can have huge impacts on how your characters performs.
