Sprawl
If there’s any one game that stole my heart in the year of 2023, that game would be Sprawl. A violent, fast-paced neo-retro shooter set in a brooding and oppressive cyberpunk setting where wall-running and bullet time grant you balletic means of eviscerating your foes. Sprawl forces you to use your movement skills and time-slowing powers along with a leashed ammo supply that demands intention and focus amidst overwhelming odds. It’s a challenge of reflexes that I find simply electrifying. It’s hard not to reflexively launch this game every time I fire up Steam. — Claire Jackson
