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...Mixed6.4Death Howl
Adventure gameA punishing, slow-burning deckbuilder whose grid tactics and persistent deck fit together well, though the rough opening and steep difficulty narrow w...Good7.1Sail 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...Mixed6.5Virginia
Adventure gameVirginia borrows film editing more confidently than almost any game before it, but hands the player almost nothing to do and trusts its cuts more than...Mixed6.1Long Live the Queen
RPG gameA small, cruel, clever sim that treats failure as the lesson plan. For players willing to die repeatedly to learn what the court wants, it's a rewardi...Good7.5Shape of the World
Casual gameHard to recommend for most people: Shape of the World is a gorgeous, pressure-free walk through a world that grows around you, but there is very littl...Mixed5.9Pistol 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...Good7.2
Strange Antiquities
Adventure gameBad Viking's occult shopkeeping sequel turns the act of looking closely into the entire game, and it is richer and more demanding than Strange Horticu...Good7.4Wildmender
Adventure gameWildmender has one of the best ideas in the cozy-survival genre — you fix a dead world by moving water through it — but a grindy middle, thin combat a...Mixed6.5Wheels of Aurelia
Adventure gameWheels of Aurelia is a stylish, politically ambitious piece of interactive fiction set on a 1978 coastal road, but the car barely matters and the piec...Mixed5.8Oddworld: 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 ...Mixed5.8Nidhogg
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...Good7.8Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
Adventure gameOxenfree II: Lost Signals has sharp writing, a strong adult lead and a soundtrack that gets under your skin, but it sticks too closely to the origin...Good7.1Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders
Racing gameMegagon Industries has turned its mountain-bike formula into a precise, good-looking skiing game about learning one slope until you know every shortcu...Good7.7Pipe Push Paradise
Family gameFew recent puzzle games do as much with as little as Pipe Push Paradise. It builds a whole island of demanding puzzles from a few simple rules and nev...Great8.1Loretta
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...Great8.5Mosaic
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...Mixed6.1Tooth 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...Good7.0A 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...Good7.2
