Overview
This page features a list of 133 games I've reviewed that were particularly fun. Of course, lists like this are going to be subjective, but I suspect that many gamers will agree with most of my choices. That said, everyone is perfectly free to disagree with my silly opinion on the topic.
A word of caution though: the list below does not take into account how well a game fits into a Christian worldview. The only criteria being looked at here is whether or not it was fun to play.

Captain Bible in The Dome of Darkness
In the far future, the Enemy has trapped a town in a Dome of Darkness. This deception field causes people to be easily misled by tricks and lies, and evil Cyber Deceivers are patrolling the streets to ensure the population doesn't learn the Truth! Only by correctly applying the scriptures can Captain Bible free the population and destroy the Dome of Darkness! Brief thoughts: The two main issues someone may have with this game lie in the short combat sequences and a few of the topics that might be discussed. However, none of the battles are particularly violent, and since this game was aimed at children, the game's installer has an option to disable the more serious topics. |

Car Mechanic Simulator 2015
Brief thoughts: This game doesn't contain anything to be concerned about, unless you frequently lose track of how long you've been playing. In which case, plan to quit at a given time and stick to it. |

Car Mechanic Simulator 2018
Brief thoughts: You won't find anything offensive in this game - unless you count the way some people have treated their cars. On the other hand, it's easy to play for longer than intended, so be sure to watch your time. |

Castle Crashers
Brief thoughts: Although this game does contain a moderate amount of violence and cartoonish gore, its frequent use of rude or crude humor may be a bigger issue. |
||||||||||
|
Cave Digger
Brief thoughts: This is a generally clean game with a lot of imagination behind it, but there is one small issue that stands out - players can "eat" questionable mushrooms found deep in the mine with silly results. |
||||||||||
|
Cave Story
Cave Story is an incredibly popular Metroidvania game about a mute little robot. When he wakes up in a dark cave, he's lost his memory and sets out to explore. However, it soon becomes apparent that this floating island is in the middle of a dangerous war between a power-mad Doctor and a dwindling resistance. Brief thoughts: The plot of this game is focused around a war that pits the timid Mimigas against a mad scientist and his magical henchmen. Thus, characters die, there's a moderate amount of violence, and a lot of evil magic. At the same time, most of this is depicted in a family friendly manner - compare it to older Disney movies like Sleeping Beauty. |

Celeste
Brief thoughts: Celeste itself is a magical mountain that warps reality so that those who climb it are literally confronted with their own inner demons. Thus, things get rather spooky at points, but the catharsis is definitely worth it. |
||||||||||
|
Chime
Brief thoughts: The only possible issue here is with the lyrics of one of the songs. The song in question is "Still Alive", which is the credits theme from Portal, and it's really only an issue if you're not familiar with the song's context. |
||||||||||
|
Chinese Parents
Brief thoughts: The main issue with this game is that it depicts growing up (and life in general) very realistically. This means the player will need to deal with things like questionable parenting, sexism, and puberty. |
||||||||||
|
The Chronicles of Emerland: Solitaire
Brief thoughts: As this game is based around a fairy tale style story, it's full of magical creatures and magic. But at the same time, this game is more lighthearted than most Disney movies. |

Coloring Pixels
Have you ever tried a color by number kit? That's the idea behind Coloring Pixels. Each pixel displays a number, and you simply color the pixel using the color that number represents. There are a huge number of images to paint, and more come out as DLC on a regular basis! Brief thoughts: Since all you do here is color in images, the most offensive things you'll find here are puzzles depicting things from mythology or holidays like Halloween, and even then, everything is kept very family friendly. |

Cookie Clicker
This famous Idle Game is all about making cookies - one way or another. Brief thoughts: Although this game is just about making numbers increase, there are some concepts (especially in the later parts of the game) that may make Christians uncomfortable. |
||||||||||
|
Cuphead
Brief thoughts: The Devil himself is the game's antagonist, and most of the characters in the game are indebted to him in some way. Yet, it's important to remember that at the end of the game, players are given the option to defy the Devil and save everyone from his clutches. |
||||||||||
|
Dead Space (2008)
Brief thoughts: There are a lot of issues with this game's content. The primary mechanic revolves around dismembering space zombies, and the player even witnesses several murders and suicides. On top of this, there is an evil cult that actually worships the zombies. |
||||||||||
|
Dead Space 2
Brief thoughts: Like the first Dead Space game, the gameplay revolves around dismembering space zombies. This time though you'll also have to deal with zombie children and infants, and the game's story takes a deeper look into the zombie-worshipping cult. In particular, players are shown that it's exploiting its members, much like real life cults. |

Dig or Die
Brief thoughts: Every night, the aliens enter a mindless rage and try to kill you. While these battles are not graphically depicted, the enraged aliens will sometimes leave behind small pools of blood that you'll need to collect for crafting materials. |
||||||||||
|
Donut County
Brief thoughts: This game is fairly tame, with the main issue being that a raccoon called BK is dropping people and animals down a portable hole. Despite the long fall, nobody appears to be harmed by this. |

Doom (1993)
Laboratories on the Martian moons were attempting to develop working teleporters, but while they succeeded, the scientists got more than they bargained for -- one of the teleporters malfunctioned, opening a gateway into Hell itself. Now a lone Marine must fight the Hellspawn back through the portal, and stop the invasion from within Hell itself. Brief thoughts: While there's a lot of violence, gore, and demonic references in this game, it's important to remember that the player is actively trying to contain the forces of Hell, not support them. Whether this context is enough to excuse the everything else is a matter of opinion. |
||||||||||
|
Doom 2: Hell on Earth
Brief thoughts: Like its predecessor, there's a lot of graphic violence and demonic references in this game, and for the same reason - the player is fighting against an invasion by the forces of Hell. That said, it's a matter of opinion whether or not this is enough to justify the game's content. |
||||||||||
|
Doom 64
Brief thoughts: This is a pretty graphic game, and like the others in this series, you're fighting against literal demons in an attempt to stop their invasion. Additionally, the forces of Hell created a new evil weapon for this invasion, and the player can use it against them. |
||||||||||
|
Doom 3: BFG Edition
Brief thoughts: As this is an upgraded version of Doom 3, all of the moral issues found in that game are also present here; they're just nicer to look at. For a quick recap, the player is attempting to stop Hell itself from invading our world, and they're primarily using graphic violence to do it. |
||||||||||
|
DOOM (2016)
Hilariously, this game continues the story from Doom II: Hell on Earth, effectively retconning the events of Doom 3 and Doom 3: ROE out of the series. Brief thoughts: Once again, the player character finds themselves fighting tooth and nail to stop Hell itself from invading our reality. This means that there's a LOT of blood and gore, plus plenty of references to Hell and demons. However, the new Glory Kill system and the brutish way the Marine behaves makes it a lot harder to excuse things, as it definitely looks like we're starting to enjoy the violence a little too much. |

|
Dracula: Love Kills
Brief thoughts: Like most vampire-centric media, this game is saturated with blood, dark imagery, and occult references. Additionally, some of the villainesses wear rather revealing clothing. On the flip side, sparing your foes is rewarded, and Dracula is playing the role of a romantic hero! |
||||||||||

Draw Puzzle
Brief thoughts: There's nothing to worry about here, as this is basically a video game version of a coloring book. |
