Microids brings the 1999 point-and-click classic into the modern day with Amerzone - The Explorer's Legacy!

The Hundred Line - Last Defence Academy is a pretty solid turn-based strategy game buried under an avalanche of terrible anime tropes and mediocre storytelling.
Phantom Breaker: Battle Grounds Ultimate takes the solid foundation of a Beat ‘Em Up and applies 2D Fighter controls to it for a fast, arcade-style action that’s impossible to put down.

Monster Hunter Wilds may very well set the standard for not just how Monster Hunter plays but also how it tells its story.
Lost Records: Bloom & Rage - Tape 1 tells a beautiful coming-of-age story, but takes far too long building up something that never pays off.
