Shatter
A brightly-lit, electro Breakout. It begins with good ideas and I enjoyed how boards encourage a mixture of classic paddle technique with the push-pull of its fans to change the arc of the ball. Unfortunately, it runs out of ideas in the middle. Two bosses are re-used with slight variations and there are few new obstacles, bricks, or board shapes in the last few levels. As a result, it seemed like the game increasingly relied on debris that knocks out the player's paddle over other challenges. I would have preferred that challenge come in the form of more interesting or complicated boards.

Oxenfree
I enjoyed Oxenfree's focus on plot, character, and dialog. Chatter between characters and the smooth implementation of interruptions and overlaps is rightfully lauded. The soup of paranormal and sci-fi that makes up the plot is intriguing enough, powered by unfolding relationship dynamics and inter-character drama. For all that it has polish and ambition, though, I came away feeling like Night School played it structurally safe. It's a little too consistent to be as interesting as it could be.
