Hack, slash, and launch yourself across a prison full of zombie aristocrats in this fast-paced, speedrun-ready action-platformer with revolutionary flair.
AI Limit is full of smart ideas: stamina-free combat, build variety, and rewarding exploration. When it all works, the game delivers a fun, fast-paced Soulslike experience that feels surprisingly fresh despite its budget. But it’s also buggy, repetitive, and lacking polish. Storytelling is weak, and performance problems are frequent enough to frustrate even dedicated fans. If you love Soulslikes and don’t mind a little jank, AI Limit offers a unique take on the formula—just don’t expect perfection.
Centum doesn’t want to entertain everyone. It wants to linger. It’s not a puzzle game in the traditional sense, nor is it a narrative game in the way we’ve come to expect. It’s a playable mood, a psychological Rorschach test rendered in pixels and static. You won’t find all the answers. But if you’re the kind of player who’s okay living in the questions, Centum is something rare, strange, and quietly remarkable.
That sentiment holds even stronger now with Tape 2’s release. DON’T NOD has managed to wrap up a deeply personal story with care, thoughtfulness, and creative storytelling. And while it may not be for players looking for fast-paced gameplay, those seeking something meaningful, reflective, and moving will find something special here.
Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land isn’t just a bold step for the series—it’s a successful one. It modernizes Atelier without losing its charm. The open world feels fresh, the systems are satisfying, and the game respects your time. There’s room for refinement, but this is comfort food for RPG fans—and a promising new path for a beloved series. If you’ve never clicked with Atelier before, Yumia might be the one that finally gets you. And if you’re already a fan, there’s enough here to justify diving in—just maybe don’t expect the same depth in all the old places.
MainFrames is one of those games that knows exactly what it wants to be—and nails it. It’s glitchy in the best way, fast without being overwhelming, and clever without being obnoxious. If you’re a fan of Celeste, VVVVVV, or Super Meat Boy, and you’re open to a few quirks, MainFrames is absolutely worth booting up. It may not change your life, but it’ll challenge your reflexes, make you laugh at a killer pop-up window, and remind you why tight, creative platformers are still one of gaming’s purest pleasures.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 doesn’t reinvent third-person shooters. But it doesn’t need to. It knows exactly what it is—a brutal, straightforward, satisfying power fantasy in a richly detailed universe—and it executes that vision with surprising polish and confidence. From the bombastic campaign to the co-op replayability, it’s a must-play for fans of Gears of War, World War Z, or anyone looking to turn their brain off and rip some xenos apart.
Karma: The Dark World is less about what you do and more about what it makes you feel. It’s a game built on mood, metaphor, and meaning—not on combat or action. And for those willing to let it pull them under, it delivers a rich, unsettling experience that lingers long after the credits roll. This isn’t horror by convention. It’s horror by erosion—of self, of memory, of trust in the systems around you. And that makes it far more chilling than anything with a shotgun or a monster in a hallway.
The emotional weight of protecting your cat adds a personal stake that makes the escalating horror feel more intense. If you’re looking for survival horror with a touch of heart, this one’s a winner.
Look Outside is a deeply unsettling horror RPG that mixes exploration, cosmic dread, and unforgiving combat into one unforgettable package. While the punishing difficulty and lack of guidance may frustrate some, the rewards for perseverance make it a must-play for horror enthusiasts. If you’re looking for a game that challenges not just your reflexes but also your sanity, Look Outside delivers an unforgettable journey into the unknown.
What sets this game apart is the constant feeling of dread and urgency. Every decision feels weighty, and the precision required to cover your tracks adds a layer of tension that keeps you on edge. If you enjoy games where stealth and strategy intersect, this one’s a must-play.
Trucker Horror is a slow-burn descent into roadside paranoia, where every empty gas station and twisted backroad feels like a warning you ignored. You play as Jason, a long-haul trucker who takes a shortcut that doesn’t exist on any map—and finds himself looping through abandoned motels, flickering lights, and something that’s definitely watching. The game builds tension not with action, but with atmosphere and isolation, leaning into eerie stillness and cursed Americana. There are no quick saves, no fast answers—just your rig, your instincts, and the growing sense you were never alone on this road. If you’ve ever feared what’s beyond the headlights on a forgotten highway, Trucker Horror delivers that dread in diesel-fueled doses.
Keep Driving blends humor, strategy, and chaos into a game that’s easy to love and hard to master. Whether you're into deck-builders, roguelikes, or just enjoy a quirky adventure with plenty of replayability, this is a journey that’s worth every mile. Buckle up, plan your route, and prepare for a wild ride.
Rogue: Genesia is a masterclass in roguelike progression with deep build diversity, satisfying scaling, and layers of meaningful upgrades that make each run feel unique. Despite its occasional visual chaos and UI complexity, the game’s addictive core mechanics and satisfying progression keep you hooked for hours. If you’re a fan of Vampire Survivors, Soulstone Survivors, or other bullet-heaven roguelikes, Rogue: Genesia will feel like a natural progression that takes the genre to new heights.
Atomfall is an atmospheric, mystery-driven survival game that dares to be different. It’s not the most polished, but it’s one of the most interesting post-apocalyptic games in years. If you enjoy uncovering stories at your own pace and don’t mind a little jank, this one’s worth your time.
IDUN – Frontline Survival isn’t just another tower defense game—it’s a real-time tactics playground. With its mobile turrets, hectic missions, evolving meta, and surprisingly high replayability, it’s one of the most inventive strategy hybrids in recent years. If you enjoy games like They Are Billions, Kingdom Rush, or even StarCraft, but want something fresh, frantic, and fun, IDUN is worth your time.
A gripping cyberpunk noir where every choice matters. Investigate dark secrets, sneak or shoot your way through cases, and uncover a mystery that may be better left unsolved.
X-Out: Resurfaced is a faithful and well-crafted revival of a classic Amiga shmup. While it doesn’t reinvent the genre, it successfully modernizes the original with refined graphics, smoother gameplay, and quality-of-life improvements. The remastered soundtrack and optional co-op mode make it more accessible, and the fleet-building system adds depth rarely seen in side-scrolling shooters. For fans of classic shmups, this is a must-play—a lovingly restored slice of gaming history. However, for those looking for a more innovative take on the genre, X-Out: Resurfaced may feel more like a polished relic than a groundbreaking new experience.
Songs of Silence is a beautifully crafted strategy game with a lot of passion behind it. The Art Nouveau-inspired visuals, engaging gameplay loop, and unique mix of turn-based strategy with real-time auto-battles set it apart in the genre. While the game isn't as deep as hardcore strategy fans might hope, it offers a fun and accessible experience that works particularly well on the Steam Deck. That being said, the automated battle system and unbalanced card mechanics hold it back from being truly great. The lack of multiple campaigns at launch is also a downside, though the potential for future expansions is promising. For players looking for a fresh take on strategy games with a striking art style and fast-paced gameplay, Songs of Silence is a solid recommendation. If you’re expecting deep tactical customization, you might find it lacking, but as a visually stunning, lore-rich strategy experience, it certainly makes an impression.
Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator is a solid foundation for an EMS simulation game, offering a level of medical depth rarely seen in the genre. It delivers a thrilling experience with high-pressure decision-making, a rewarding progression system, and intense large-scale emergencies. However, its immersion is undercut by AI inconsistencies, frustrating bugs, and missing realism-enhancing features. For those who enjoy simulation games, Ambulance Life is worth considering, especially with the potential for future updates and community-driven improvements. If you’re willing to look past its flaws, the game offers a unique and enjoyable take on the world of emergency medical response. With more polish, AI refinements, and additional features, it could become the definitive paramedic simulator.
