The Big Con
Adventure gameA charming, big-hearted throwback that leans on comedy and warmth more than mechanics — short, funny, and touching, so long as expectations don't incl...Good7.0Sephonie
Action gameSephonie is an emotionally ambitious platformer with genuinely excellent writing, but slippery movement, a repetitive puzzle loop, and an unreliable c...Mixed6.4Athenian Rhapsody
Adventure gameA solo-developed comedy RPG that treats every battle as a chance to reinvent itself — sometimes you fight, sometimes you draw the boss yourself. Uneve...Good7.5Rift of the NecroDancer
Action gameRift of the NecroDancer trades the roguelike dungeon for three vertical lanes, and the pivot mostly works: a rhythm game built on reading enemy patter...Good7.6Two Point Museum
Simulation gameTwo Point Studios' most layered management sim turns curation into a genuine creative act. It borrows heavily from its own back catalog, but the exped...Good7.9Overland
Strategy gameFinji's post-apocalyptic road roguelike builds remarkable tension and emotional attachment, but its razor-thin tactical depth and occasionally arbitra...Mixed6.3Necrobarista
Indie gameNecrobarista is a visually daring visual novel — a cel-shaded, camera-drunk meditation on death and coffee that aims for short-film territory. But its...Mixed6.5Haven
Adventure gameHaven is a rare thing—a game that treats an already-in-love couple as the story, not the reward. It's gorgeous, tender, and beautifully scored, but sh...Mixed6.6
Eastward
Action gamePixpil's debut is a gorgeous, big-hearted love letter to 16-bit adventure games that occasionally forgets when to end a sentence — a solid, flawed adv...Good7.2Iris and the Giant
Card gameLouis Rigaud's card-battler about fighting your own depression is emotionally honest and mechanically clever, but the iOS port is a broken promise — t...Good7.1One Step From Eden
Action gameA merciless collision of Slay the Spire and Mega Man Battle Network that asks you to build a deck and dodge a bullet hell at the same time — and mostl...Good7.6Nobody Saves the World
Action gameDrinkbox Studios took the one mechanic every action RPG treats as a gimmick — shapeshifting — and made it the entire load-bearing wall. The result is ...Good7.3Ikenfell
RPG gameHappy Ray Games built a tactical RPG where every attack demands your thumbs, not your MP bar, wrapped in a warm, sharply written cast. The boss diffic...Good7.0Haiku, the Robot
Action gameA handsome, carefully tuned metroidvania that borrows its blueprint wholesale and never quite finds an argument of its own. The art and boss fights ar...Mixed6.2Supraland
Action gameOne German developer built a first-person Metroidvania that respects your intelligence more than most studio productions respect your time. The combat...Great8.2Vagrus - The Riven Realms
RPG gameA dense, well-written dark fantasy caravan sim that treats your attention as a resource it has every right to demand. It will bore anyone looking for ...Good7.3Beacon Pines
Adventure gameBeacon Pines turns branching narrative from a menu into a mechanic, and the trick works more often than not — but a short runtime and a critical path ...Good7.1Hollow Knight: Silksong
Action gameBigger, faster, and meaner than Hollow Knight, and mostly better for it — a sequel worth recommending, provided you can stomach a difficulty curve t...Great8.7Fall Guys
