Swapping in tougher enemies is one thing, but giving them regenerating HP is just mean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monster Hunter World<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; I&#8217;ve mostly been distracted by Breath of the Wild, but took some time away from Hyrule to hunt a few Deviljhos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yoshi&#8217;s Island<\/strong> (SNES) &#8211; While I do regard this as one of the greatest games ever made, it still bothers me that Yoshi&#8217;s movement is so slippery.

And no microtransactions!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vostok Inc.<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; I really only played the demo (for several\u00a0hours), but this appears to be the ultimate expression of Cookie Clicker, with a sweet twin-stick shooter\u00a0layered on top.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Into the Breach<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Tactical RPG (which I love)\u00a0flavoured with roguelike elements (which I dislike). Haven&#8217;t played a lot yet, but so far it seems like it works pretty darn well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bayonetta<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211;\u00a0I like mostly everything about this game, except: I&#8217;m not having any fun. It&#8217;s ridiculously difficult in the way that it demands frame-perfect reflexes. I&#8217;m much too old for that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Outlast<\/strong> (Switch) &#8211; A spook-em-up where the order of the day is jumpscares by the boatload.
