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.

Games in this List

0 - B C - D E - J K - N O - R S - Z

Escape Goat 2

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Puzzle Platformer
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

The sheep you freed in the previous game have found themselves trapped in another dungeon, so it's once again up to a magical goat and a courageous mouse to solve the riddles and free their friends!

Brief thoughts: There are references to magic and ghosts throughout the game, with a monster appearing in the final levels. While this sound a little spooky, everything is still fairly tame and isn't likely to be much of a problem.

Eversion

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 13 and up
Genre:	Platformer / Horror
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Despite the bright and colorful graphics, Eversion is a horror game. This should be taken somewhat seriously, as jump scares become common in later stages, and you're led to distrust what this supposedly cute little platformer is showing you.

Brief thoughts: While this game starts out looking cute and cheerful, it quickly turns sinister as you progress, and by the end of the game jump scares are commonplace.

Faerie Solitaire

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Card game
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Faerie Solitaire is exactly what its name suggests: it's a card game that centers around a world where faeries and other magical creatures exist. All is not well in this world, as there is an evil force threatening the faeries, and each round of solitaire you complete helps save the world a little bit more.

Brief thoughts: While this game is filled with magical creatures - mostly faeries, as the title suggests - this mainly serves as a backdrop or theme for the actual game, and therefore isn't something to worry about.

Faerie Solitaire Harvest

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Card Game
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Free faeries, collect materials, and raise magical pets by clearing boards in this quiet solitaire adventure. Unlike many similar games, you remove cards in pairs of equal rank and can gain special perks to help you solve each hand.

Brief thoughts: Although this game is themed after faeries and other magical creatures, none of this really features in the gameplay.

Fallout: New Vegas

ESRB Rating:	M - Mature Audiences
My Rating:	Adults - 18+
Genre:	First Person Shooter / RPG
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

You are Courier Six, a delivery person working for the Mojave Express. While delivering a package, you were ambushed and left for dead. Now you must navigate a hostile wasteland that's on the brink of a multi-faction war.

Brief thoughts: This game features a LOT of things that are unsettling or offensive, such as violence, gore, torture, sex, drugs, and gambling. Ultimately though, many of these problems can be avoided through the use of mods or simply by choosing not to indulge in them.

First Encounter Assault Recon (F. E. A. R.)

ESRB Rating:	M - Mature Audiences
My Rating:	Adults - 18+
Genre:	First Person Shooter / Horror
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

In this horror-themed first person shooter, players take on the role of a FEAR operative tasked with subduing a renegade army of made-to-order super soldiers and their psychic commander!

Brief thoughts: This game is notable for featuring unusually realistic combat, which makes all of the carnage much more concerning.

FLY'N

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Puzzle Platformer
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

FLY'N is a puzzle platformer that revolves around various World Trees trying to deal with the antics of a bully named Dryer. As if dumping hot metal garbage on the peaceful worlds wasn't bad enough, he's also stealing their Helys for his own purposes. This has led each World Tree to defend themselves by creating a unique "bud" to chase Dryer away.

Brief thoughts: The main antagonist is little more than a bully who makes life difficult for everyone else. However, he has his reasons for lashing out at everyone, and eventually comes around.

Forager

ESRB Rating:	E10 - Everyone (Ages 10 and up)
My Rating:	Ages 10 and up
Genre:	Sandbox / Crafting
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

In this game, you'll start out on a small island with only a pickaxe, and slowly build up your little empire by gathering resources, creating machines, and exploring the world around you.

Brief thoughts: Although there's some family-friendly combat and different types of magic in this game, there's not really anything serious enough to concern Christian players.

The Forest

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Adults - 18+
Genre:	Survival Horror
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Your plane has crashed, and now a stranger has kidnapped your son. It's up to you to survive long enough in this cannibal infested forest to save yourself and your son from the evils hidden below ground.

Brief thoughts: While this game is fun, it's heavily saturated with realistic violence, mutilation, and gore. Playing on Peaceful does remove many of the game's issues, but graphic "decorations" will still be present.

Fran Bow

ESRB Rating:	T - Teenagers
My Rating:	Ages 13 and up
Genre:	Point and Click Adventure
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Sometimes, you can just tell when a story isn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows, and this point and click adventure game is one of those times. Considering that the story is based around a young girl who is dealing with severe emotional trauma, it's very fitting.

Brief thoughts: Fran's world is a blend of multiple, layered realities, and for most of the game she switches between them by taking some pills she found. On her journey, she encounters things that are frightening, demonic in appearance, or quite gory, and sometimes needs to do horrible things to them in order to progress.

FreeDoom

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 13 and up
Genre:	First Person Shooter
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

This game is completely free!
While Doom source ports copy the engine that runs the early Doom games, FreeDoom functions as a free, open source replacement for their content. Not only can it be used to play custom WADs without the original games, FreeDoom is also able to function as two unique single player games!

Brief thoughts: Although this is essentially a fan "remake" of the first two Doom games, most of the demonic references and imagery have been removed in favor of a space alien theme.

That said, this game still features a lot of blood, gore, and graphic violence, just like the original games.

Glass Masquerade

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Puzzle
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

In this puzzle game, you're tasked with reassembling clock faces. Each clock face is made of stained glass, and represents a different country from around the world. It's a quiet and beautiful game, and I'd highly suggest trying it.

Brief thoughts: This is a very clean game, with the only concern being what's depicted on a few specific images. These include eastern dragons, a Hindu goddess, and a woman wearing a showy outfit. Note that all of the pictures are done in an art deco style, which limits how much detail they can show.

Glass Masquerade 2: Illusions

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Puzzle
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Waking up to discover yourself in a surreal dream world could be enough of a problem if it wasn't for all of these locked doors blocking your path back to reality. In order to find your way home, you'll need to reassemble the stained glass mirrors that hold the keys.

Brief thoughts: This is essentially a stained glass themed jigsaw puzzle game, so the only issues are the images shown - some of which show spooky or scary things.

Gunman Clive 2

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Platform Shooter
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

The bandits have returned and they're out for revenge! Join Gunman Clive, Miss Johnson, and their new friend Chieftain Bob as they travel the world in an attempt to defeat the bandits once and for all in this incredibly crazy new adventure!

Brief thoughts: Like Clive's first adventure, there is very little actual violence to be seen in this game.

Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Adults - 18+
Genre:	First Person Shooter
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

The Order of the Sign has taken over the world, labeling anybody who would not submit to their cult as heretics to be exterminated. The last of his race, a lone hero must rise up and put an end to the cult's reign of terror!

Brief thoughts: Despite the name, there aren't many references to evil magic. Instead, the main issue is the large amount of blood and gore depicted during the violent gameplay.

Hero Siege

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Ages 13 and up
Genre:	Arena based hack 'n slash
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

Live in the town of Inoya could hardly be worse. Horrible creatures are constantly attacking what remains of the village, and it's only a matter of time before it falls under the control of Damien, the son of the Devil himself. Unfortunately for the townsfolk, the heroes who've come to battle with Damien's forces are just as psychotic and violent as the monsters they'd be fighting.

Brief thoughts: Blood and gore are a common sight in this game, and while there is an option to reduce the amount of it you'll see, it won't clean everything up. But while the combat can be a big issue, the omnipresent references to demons and Satan (some of which are considered a good thing) makes this game conflict heavily with Christian morals.

Hexen: Beyond Heretic

ESRB Rating:	M - Mature Audiences
My Rating:	Adults - 18+
Genre:	First Person Shooter
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

The epic struggle against the evil Serpent Riders and their diabolical Order of the Sign continues as three new heroes rise up to challenge the cult in this sequel to Heretic. Each playable character has their own set of weapons and a unique gameplay style, allowing players to experience the battle in three unique ways!

Brief thoughts: Most of the characters in this game make frequent use of magic to aid them in their battles, but the large amount of blood and gore is easily the bigger issue here.

Hill Climb Racing

ESRB Rating:	E - Everyone
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Endless Runner
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

This game is free, but contains advertisements
In this fun little game, you try to drive a vehicle as far to the right as possible. Of course, that's not going to be too easy: you'll need to keep your ride fueled and avoid flipping it over. This is easier said than done when you're flying over hills and other obstacles.

Brief thoughts: There isn't much to worry about here; at worst, you'll hear the driver's bones snap if you wreck badly enough. There are also advertisements on certain screens, though they are very unobtrusive.

Hollow Knight

ESRB Rating:	E10 - Everyone (Ages 10 and up)
My Rating:	Ages 10 and up
Genre:	Metroidvania
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

As you search for answers to your own history in the remains of the Kingdom of Hallownest, you'll find that a dangerous infection is spreading throughout the kingdom, and that its future lies on your tiny shoulders.

Brief thoughts: While the majority of the violence seen in this game isn't anything to write home about, there are a few exceptions. A bigger issue is the way everything is built around magic, with ghosts, spirits, and even a pair of rival "gods" making an appearance.

House Flipper

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Simulation
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

A house flipper is a person who buys homes with the intent of fixing them up and reselling them for a profit. That's exactly what you do in this game; yet the tedious task of cleaning garbage, painting walls, and installing sinks is oddly relaxing and fun.

Brief thoughts: There are some minor issues with this game - such as a small amount of blood and some g-rated swearing - but nothing is serious enough to warrant much concern.

Jewel Quest 2

ESRB Rating:	E - Everyone
My Rating:	Ages 6 and up
Genre:	Match 3
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

The second game in the original Jewel Quest trilogy, this adventure sees Rupert, Emma, Hanni and the villainous Sebastion on a journey through Africa in an attempt to find and recover the magical Jewel Board.

Brief thoughts: The main issues with this title lie in the storyline, and frankly, if you're just here to match gems, you'll miss them entirely.

JumpJet Rex

ESRB Rating:	NR - Not Rated
My Rating:	Everyone
Genre:	Platformer
Platforms:
Fun-O-Meter:

During his initial mission as the first dinosaur astronaut, Rex gets an unexpected surprise - a giant asteroid is hurtling towards prehistoric Earth, and he's the only person who can reach it in time to save the planet!

Brief thoughts: This is a very clean game, though some of the references to gaming and internet culture can be misinterpreted if players aren't familiar with them.
