A charming and engaging swan song from Runic games. Beautiful stylised art direction paint engaging environments and interesting puzzles.

Almost overwhelmingly opaque and seemingly esoteric, but delivered in an intriguing package that invites more playtime if only to figure out what the hell is going on.

As far as Steam releases go, Dead Cells is GOTY 2018. Absolutely the most buttery smooth controls amongst its ilk, amazing music, challenging mechanics and immense innate replayability.

A fitting and challenging musically violent rhythm game with gorgeous visual styling from one half of band Lightning Bolt & friends.

Surprisingly funny, confusing and very clever. A memorable game if you can get through some of the more tedious RPG elements.

Her Majesty expands mechanics of its predecessor while maintaining its simplicity. Great little game with, of course, lots of replayability.

SpyParty has been around a long time and is still has at its core one of the most interesting gameplay concepts ever explored. Challenging, fun, utterly unique and hilarious with friends.

Deep and brutal narrative brilliance. Sunless Sea is challenging and a bit grindy but offers rewarding replayability.

Another challenging modern classic platformer from Ed McMillen - this guy knows what he’s doing. The End is Nigh is less accessible than Super Meat Boy, but if you’re up for a challenge, give it a go.
