Tormented Souls
Action gameTormented Souls brings back fixed-camera survival horror with care and very little irony. Its puzzles are smart and its dread is earned, but the clunk...Good7.0Fading Afternoon
Action gameSolo developer yeo has made a 2D Yakuza about running out of time, and it earns its mood. Its combat and its terminal-illness clock work together we...Good7.1Here Comes Niko!
Action gameHere Comes Niko! is a short, generous 3D collect-a-thon about being kind to strangers, and it doesn't punish you for being bad at jumping. We recommen...Good7.3Hoa
Action gameHoa is gorgeous and nearly frictionless, but its puzzles never develop past their first idea and its floaty movement keeps the core verb from ever fee...Mixed6.3Master Detective Archives: RAIN CODE
Action gameRAIN CODE's murder mysteries are sharply written and enjoyably outrageous, wrapped in a game that often gets in its own way. On Switch, the frame rate...Good7.2Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
Action gameHellblade takes psychosis seriously and builds its sound, puzzles and story around it. The audio design and lead performance are the reasons to play; ...Good7.7Fight'N Rage
Action gameFight'N Rage is a sharply designed beat 'em up: a three-button brawler with the depth of a fighting game and more unlockables than most full-priced re...Great8.5Monaco: What's Yours Is Mine
Action gameMonaco is a co-op crime caper built on one sharp idea — you can only see what your thief sees — and with a full crew that idea carries it a long way. ...Good7.5
Rain on Your Parade
Action gameRain on Your Parade bottles guilt-free mischief into a paper-thin cloud. It's short, occasionally uneven, and frequently funny — a schadenfreude simul...Good7.0Jenny LeClue – Detectivú
Action gameMografi's meta-fictional detective adventure is a charming and structurally ambitious story game with real writing chops — even if its audio engineeri...Good7.1Sky Force Reloaded
Action gameSky Force Reloaded is a gorgeous, content-dense vertical shooter with a well-built upgrade loop, held back by a star grind that gates progression in w...Good7.8Severed
Action gameDrinkBox Studios took the most maligned control scheme in gaming—the touchscreen swipe—and built a genuinely tactile action RPG around it. The combat ...Good7.8Rustler
Action gameRustler is a funny medieval take on the top-down GTA formula, but clunky combat, mission-breaking bugs, and a short campaign make it hard to recomme...Mixed6.1Star Ocean: The Second Story R
Action gameGemdrops and Square Enix deliver one of the most thoughtful JRPG remakes in recent memory — a gorgeous 2.5D reimagining of a 1998 classic whose only r...Great8.0Unexplored
Action gameUnexplored takes on procedural generation's oldest problem — random levels that feel like nobody made them — and largely solves it. The combat and art...Good7.3Octodad: Dadliest Catch
Action gameYoung Horses gives you deliberately clumsy controls and dares you to laugh, and the joke lands often enough to matter. The campaign is short and the s...Good7.0Knights and Bikes
Action gameWarm, funny and hand-painted, Knights and Bikes tells a sincere story about grief under a kids-on-bikes treasure hunt. The combat is thin and never ge...Good7.0Circuit Superstars
Action gameCircuit Superstars looks like a coffee-table toy and is built to drive like a proper racing sim, and that gap is the whole point — a deep handling mod...Good7.1Skullgirls 2nd Encore

Action gameFlight School Studio welded a pinball table to a dungeon crawler, and the weld holds. The idea is strong, the art is better, and the game runs out of ...Good7.0Guilty Gear -Strive-
Action gameArc System Works stripped a famously impenetrable fighter down to its load-bearing walls and rebuilt it around online play that reshaped what the genr...Great8.2Lone Survivor
Action gameA flashlight, a cassette hiss, and a bag of rotten meat do more work here than most big-budget horror manages with a photogrammetry rig. It's an unset...Good7.6System Shock 2
