Gecko Gods
Action gameHard to recommend for most players: Gecko Gods has a strong wall-climbing hook, but a soft ending, hint-starved puzzles and a climbing system whose fl...Mixed6.4Sail Forth
Action gameSail Forth's wind-driven sailing model is the real thing — tuned, readable and rewarding — but the combat, bosses and errand-style quests built around...Mixed6.5Pistol Whip
Action gameFew rhythm games commit to a physical fantasy the way Pistol Whip does — the gunfight is the song, and the body is the controller. The catch is a shor...Good7.5RUINER
Action gameRUINER's top-down combat is aggressive, fast and well-tuned, wrapped in a striking blood-red cyberpunk look. The fights carry the game; the story, the...Good7.2Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Action gameThe best stealth sandbox ever built is attached to a story that visibly runs out of road. Play it for the systems, forgive it for the ending, and swit...Outstanding9.2Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!
Action gameJust Add Water's remake of Abe's Oddysee keeps the satire of industrial greed landing as hard as it did in 1997, and quicksave finally makes the game ...Good7.3Loot River
Action gameLoot River's tile-sliding combat is a genuinely original idea, but stiff melee, thin variety and repetitive procedural levels squander much of it. At ...Mixed5.8Tormented 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...Good7.0
Nidhogg
Action gameNidhogg turns fencing into a one-stab, high-speed game of chicken that takes about 30 seconds to grasp and rewards long study. It earns a recommendati...Good7.8Hoa
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...Mixed6.3Heavy Rain
Action gameHeavy Rain is clumsy, melodramatic, and full of plot holes, and it still generates real tension because nobody in it is safe. The Steam port is servic...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...Great8.5Tooth and Tail
Action gamePocketwatch Games cuts real-time strategy down to its essentials and gets a sharp, tense 10-minute war out of what's left. The design is sharp and oft...Good7.0Sky 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...Good7.8Rustler
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...Good7.0Nex Machina
Action gameNex Machina is a sharp, well-built twin-stick shooter with precise controls, huge voxel explosions and a scoring system deep enough to sustain years o...Good7.7Knights 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...Good7.1Hell is Us
Action gameRogue Factor built a genuinely unnerving world and then removed every crutch modern games use to guide you through it — no map, no compass, no quest m...Good7.1Creature in the Well
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 ...Good7.0
