I'd rather be forced to play competitive Paladins than consume this slop.

Princess Isabella: A Witch's Curse, is a hidden object, point & click adventure by Gogii Games originally released in 2009. With that in mind, it's frankly one of the more mind-numbing hidden object games I've played to date, almost insultingly simplistic even by genre standards, the only praise I can really direct towards it is the vague-metroidvania esque layout/progression, which itself is too overly simplistic to be engaging.

Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is a great game start to finish. Story-wise rather weak, especially for an RPG; yet more than makes up for it with engaging gameplay systems and excellent combat.

The Dark Arisen re-release also brings about Bitterblack Isle, a decent addition to the game as well as other significant changes (namely more portcrystals compared to the original Dragon's Dogma), alleviating one the biggest problems in the original: travel time).

Skara - The Blade Remains can no longer be played in any capacity.

Plantera is a really simplistic incremental/idle game. There's not a lot of depth and you reach the endgame pretty quickly but that doesn't really bother me given the price; it looks like Plantera 2 will be a bit better in this regard.

Has limited offline progression, only coins are gained while offline and it appears experience gain is massively reduced, additionally offline progression time is limited by an upgrade that gets more expensive for each additional hour. If you're going for achievements you will need to leave the game open for a few hours, which somewhat defeats the purpose of having offline progression since coins are the least important part of reaching 100%.

Visually Plantera does have its own little charming artstyle though I'm not really a fan of how the pixel art gets blurred (both when fruit/veg swings/rotates and when playing fullscreen), manipulating pixel art like this looks pretty bad but at the end of the day it doesn't turn me off.

It's not really the type of incremental game that you'll stick with/play for a decent while, but something you'll mess around with for a day and move on and for that latter purpose it's fine, just don't expect a lot.

Sea Legends: Phantasmal Light is a hidden object, point & click adventure by Shaman Games. A lot more hidden object focused than the other titles I've played from this developer. Certainly not awful, some of the logic is kinda dumb but I did get a bit of a laugh out of it after I'd put the solutions together, it probably helped that I was streaming this to a friend while I was playing, cut-scenes are rather camp so it helps to take it less seriously as a whole. Probably a safe recommendation if you already enjoy titles within the genre, best to think of this as a more neutral recommendation and maybe a light "not recommend" as an entry to hidden object games.

Dreamscapes: Nightmare's Heir is the sequel to Dreamscapes: The Sandman, once again the game is primarily a point & click adventurer though with some actual traditional hidden object sections scattered throughout this time round. The beginning seems to slightly retcon the end of the first game, but not too much to throw you off, it's just one example of some inconsistent story/world lore that's present in this instalment. Another example being the fact the game can't seem to decide whether Benny's counterpart in this game is called Spotty or Dreamie. I don't really know if that's a translation error however. Voice acting is somehow worse than the first game, which is quite the impressive feat. As for the actual gameplay it feels rather directionless, more meandering around hoping to spot what you need to progress which I guess is a minor step up from the first's autopilot feel. Some of the logic to progress does feel kind of moon-like or dumb but it's within reason. The hidden object sections require specific cursor placement to actually detect you clicking on the correct object which is annoying. Just like the first game it does just sort of end abruptly and the bonus chapter doesn't really fix that.

Dreamscapes: The Sandman is more-so a traditional point & click than a hidden object game, though some hidden object elements are present they are ultimately minor. As a point & click, the game feels too straightforward as if playing on autopilot; being able to progress putting minimal thought into it, even the puzzles feel far too simple. There's some less than stellar voice acting and minor translation errors, which isn't too surprising given Shaman Games is a Ukrainian developer with a small budget. The artwork is generally solid ignoring the uncanny computer generation in parts which do look quite bad. Bonus chapter is pretty easy to miss. Ultimately feels like you're playing an unfinished story (which you are given how abruptly it ends). It does have some charm but not enough for me to outright recommend playing.

Non-essential cosmetic DLC, included in Season Pass. The Riddler Themed Batmobile Skin is exactly as shown on the store page, skin has full functionality meaning it can be used in the main campaign. I'm not enthusiastic about the skin but I don't hate it, I'd rather give this a neutral review.

Arkham Knight's Season Pass includes all DLC available for the PC version of Arkham Knight. This includes the following DLC that are NOT available for separate purchase (some previously were available):

• 2008 Movie Batman Skin
  
• Batman Inc. Skin
  
• Batman: Noel Skin
  
• New 52 Skins Pack
  
• Original Arkham Batman Skin
  
• Gotham's Future Skin Pack
  
• 2016 Batman v Superman Batmobile Pack
  
• Rocksteady Themed Batmobile Skin
  
• Batman Flashpoint Skin
  
• Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #6

I have reviewed all the separately available DLC on their respective store pages, so I'll quickly go over some of the stuff listed above. Skins are pretty decent overall, New 52 Skins and Gotham's Future Skin Packs are the best of the bunch, better than any of the standalone ones available. Skins total to 8 for Batman, 1 for both Robin and Nightwing, and 2 Batmobile skins. Additionally Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #6, like other challenge DLC is generally a niche addition.

As for all DLC content considered, the Season Pass is worth it on sale in my opinion, enough good content to justify it, it's a bit too much of a mixed bag at full price however. Season Pass is pretty much essential for achievement hunters given a notable percentage of achievements are locked behind DLC content.
