Devil Daggers with your third eye open. At first utterly incomprehensible and overwhelming, but given some time, reveals itself to be incredibly tight, elegant and intensely masterful. A special game.

Hugely addictive tower defense with beautiful, minimal art, from the Creative Director of Hitman GO. A lot of your energy will go into managing and mitigating RNG, but itโ€™s fair, smart & lots of fun.

A relatively short, and undeniably Tiny version of Darkest Dungeon. Could do with a bit of a QOL uplift, but still very fun and superb value for money. Cute, compelling strategy, and great music.

As mechanically experimental as it is visually. Youโ€™re a pizza delivery guy tryina infiltrate a nightclub. To do so, youโ€™ll roll dice - lots of dice. Seemingly inspired by Disco Elysium in a lot of ways, which can only be a good thing. Really cool.

Max Payne DOOM Tony Hawk. Super fun; cool little setting and story, nice presentation, and makes you feel better than you probably are. Feels a bit weird at first but doesnโ€™t take long to get used to.

Vampire Survivors + SNKRX. Really clever, solving some problems other games in neighbouring genres suffer from. Not a huge fan of the art and stuff, but it doesnโ€™t really matter.

Hate the visual design, love the game. Scratches the Slay the Spire itch, but with its own compelling & distinct design. Very more-ish, just stick with it through the intense tutorial. Really cool.

A really fun balance of roguelike dungeon crawling and Animal Crossing colony sim inside a slick package of stunning art and great music. Bit buggy at launch, but still great and ripe for expansion.

Another take on the recent singleplayer semi-autobattler boom. Movement feels strange at first, but is interesting and doesnโ€™t take long to get used to. Good value, but would love if it was longer.
