Five Nights at Freddy's 3

Top Pro

Scary

Lots of jump scares! See More

Top Con

Fazbear cast are not featured much in this version

One of the best parts in the prvious games of this series was the Fazbear cast. Sadly they do not have much of a presence in the third iteration in this series, leaving a lack of the best humor found in the other titles. See More

Steam Rating:Very Positive

Top Pro

Requires no special permissions

Everyone talks about this game, but I can't find anyone talking the fact that it requires no extra permissions. That seems like a big deal. I don't know any other game this popular that can say that. You know you're safe downloading and playing it. It looks like most (if not all) of Scott Cawthon's games are the same way. See More

Bean's Quest

Top Pro

Great visuals

The visuals may seem a little jarring to begin with but they turn out to be superb. Created by Melbourne artist Jagi. See More

Top Con

Bean's Quest is short

The length of the game is a bit short. See More

Top Pro

Lots of replayability

Bean's Quest has things to find, challenges based on complexity and the amount of times jumped in each level. Trying to hit everything in each level can become addictive. See More

Top Pro

Well implemented mobile platforming

This is a mobile platforming game which is easy to control but very hard to master. Character can only be instructed to go left or right, jumping happens continuously. This strikes the reasonable balance between control and timing that make all the best platformers great. See More

Desert Golfing

Top Pro

No menu

Desert Golfing is unique in that there is no menu to speak of, all there is, is one course after another. See More

Top Con

May start repeating some aspects after 3000 holes

Being that the game is so minimal there is most likely only so many variations that can be randomized before some particulars start to get repeated. Supposedly this may happen around the 3,000 holes mark. See More

Top Pro

Each course is procedurally generated

Guaranteeing that the game will never get old, Desert Golfing is procedurally generated, meaning every single course is a new random experience. See More
