Vice-Super-Raji
When Raji: An Ancient Epic showed up at Nintendo's indie showcase last month, it was the well-earned culmination of a long and stressful journey for an action adventure game about a young girl chosen by the gods to be a savior. Part of what makes Raji unique, however, is where it was developed: India. There have been other games made in India, of course, but it's rare for them to get the kind of high-profile visibility that comes with Nintendo's backing.

I fancied “Raji: An Epic Tale” as a purely visual experience that taps into a rich cultural mythology which has, to my knowledge, been generally overlooked by the video game industry.
Bloodrayne-Metro
It’s BloodRayne that stands out the most, though, as Ziggurat intends to do more with the series than simply own it. For starters, it is already working alongside Terminal Reality, the developer of the first two games, to update the PC versions of the games so as to improve compatibility and provide various enhancements.

The Vale – Game Informer
…there are always a handful of titles that stand out for being incredibly outside-of-the-box in their design and execution.

Our original ambition was to make a game that had the core combat of Frozen Synapse, the accessibility and customization of XCOM, and the storytelling and atmosphere of Banner Saga -- or as we jokingly called it: Company of Heroes for gamers who like to relax while they play.
8 Circuit Studios – Forbes
It’s an incredibly ambitious concept that’s difficult to wrap our heads around, but game companies like 8 Circuit Studios -- comprised of industry veterans with a century of combined experience from Nintendo, Microsoft and Electronic Arts -- realize that a relatively new technology makes this possible: blockchain.

Aftercharge – PC Gamer
What I enjoy most from Aftercharge so far is how
each class ability encourages a wide range of both large
and small tactics without being overshadowed by an
overriding mechanic like Overwatch’s ultimates.

AbleGamers is also a thriving community of gamers with and without disabilities working and playing together to help improve the quality of life for people with disabilities through the power of video games.
