A neat twist on solitaire in a striking and memorable visual style. Seeking to remedy the problem of unwinnable games in solitaire, Radical Solitaire gives you the option to "get rad," trading one of your draw cards for one of the face-down cards on the field by playing a Breakout minigame where you repeatedly knock the ball into the card to shuffle through the deck until you get what you want. This minigame is also surprisingly juiced up with lots of cool explosive effects and the ability to completely fill the screen with balls. While this change is nothing if not inspired, it still leaves a little to be desired as, while the game cannot be truly unbeatable, it can become very tedious as you try repeatedly to get that one card you need to make progress. Worth a look, but even more so worth another stab with a little more development.

A little weaker than The Signal, I think. The setpieces are more ambitious but also jankier, and the plot is mainly just tying up loose ends as all the most interesting elements were pretty effectively established by the end of The Signal. The segment where you clear out rocks and use the lights to just decimate the Taken is cool but it's unfortunately immediately followed by an AWFUL boss fight. If you feel the need to put an unlimited supply of ammo in your boss arena you've probably fucked up. Still, not a bad time overall and provides a pretty satisfying end to the first entry in Alan Wake's story.
