Hindsight
Adventure gameHindsight is a well-written small game with real limits. It is a painterly, two-to-three-hour meditation on a mother and a daughter, and its writing c...Good7.1Loretta
Adventure gameA short, controlled noir thriller that uses its branching choices to implicate the player in a marriage's collapse. The puzzles can be obtuse and a si...Good7.0Hellblade: 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. ...Good7.5Mosaic
Adventure gameMosaic looks like one of the sharpest satires of office life and smartphone compulsion in games, and its mood is its best asset. But it is thin as a g...Mixed5.9Minute of Islands
Adventure gameMinute of Islands pairs gorgeous hand-drawn art with a moving fable about duty and sacrifice, but its puzzles and platforming ask so little that the m...Mixed6.1Rain 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...Good7.0
A Fold Apart
Adventure gameA Fold Apart folds its geometry and its story into the same object, and few puzzle games make mechanic and meaning line up this cleanly. The puzzles s...Good7.2El Hijo - A Wild West Tale
Adventure gameEl Hijo – A Wild West Tale is a charming, low-stakes stealth adventure that's more affectionate pastiche than genre breakthrough — and at $19.99, it...Mixed5.9The Wreck
Adventure gameFew narrative games make reinterpreting a memory the central verb, and The Wreck builds its whole design around that idea. It's a solid, affecting t...Good7.0Kaichu: The Kaiju Dating Sim
RPG gameSquiddershins' kaiju courtship romp is a genuinely novel twist on the dating sim — witty, gorgeous, and endearingly weird — but a shallow quiz loop an...Mixed6.7Jenny LeClue – Detectivú

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...Good7.8Curious Expedition
RPG gameMaschinen-Mensch's roguelike expedition sim earns its genre mashup through brutal, meaningful resource management. It stumbles on repetition and luck,...Good7.3Rustler
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...Mixed6.1Lacuna – A Sci-Fi Noir Adventure
Adventure gameTrust the player to name the wrong suspect and live with it — that single idea carries Lacuna, a taut, well-drawn sci-fi noir whose writing and conseq...Good7.3Unexplored
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...Good7.3Night Call
Simulation gameNight Call has a strong setting, a striking look and a cast of strangers worth listening to, but the investigation holding it together is thin, repeti...Mixed5.9Octodad: 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...Good7.0Inkulinati
Strategy gameFor all its wit and genuinely distinctive art, Inkulinati is hard to recommend to most people: Journey mode repeats too soon, the difficulty rarely ...Mixed6.6Knights and Bikes
