LBreakout[1] is the best Arkanoid clone, period. There has been many attempts by Taito (or Square Enix by proxy) to reboot the franchise but each of their releases just flopped terribly because they keep removing features that people come back to Arkanoid for (the latest PC release, Eternal Battle, has no level editor). In similar vein is Apotris[2] (whose developer is being hunted by the Tetris Company like a fugitive the last few months) is the greatest iteration of Tetris IMO, and it is open-source and developed by a one-man team.
The game looks really nice, but knowing Paradox’s DLC policy, I am not sure if I can afford this game over the next five years. Release incomplete game, release DLCs for missing base features… the Paradox way. Bleugh.
I recently bought Invisible Inc., a turn-based tactical stealth game. I had my eye on it for almost 8 years now, but I seldom found time to play any other game than DotA. Now that I have beat my addiction, I can finally enjoy some games I had on my wishlist for a very long time. I also bought the first two Thief games and Grim Fandango Remastered.
Grim Fandango made me tear up. I have never had so much fun in years playing a video game. I really enjoy adventure games (played Myst, Monkey Island, Beneath a Steel Sky) but I have the feeling that this style of game is a bit out of fashion currently. Any recommendations for modern adventure games?
