Ascendant

Particularly good mix of combat, light RPG and platforming.
It uses procedurally generated levels, and I usually shy away from that because I expect the randomness will lessen the focus on a well thought out and structured gaming experience, but in this case they fucking nailed it.

It's amazing such a small independent dev team (literally working out of some shitty shack) can produce such polished quality.

Buy this. If you have any gaming soul left in you, you'll love it.

Adam Sessler is another go-to for game reviews. He doesn't like rating games with numerical scores, and only did so at Revision3 because they made him. He's more of a "buy this game if you like X" reviewer. :up:
