Trailblazers is an enjoyable racer with a very cool colour mechanic and a stellar throwback presentation that's highly reminiscent of the Dreamcast era.
When it comes to beat 'em up / action RPG hybrids, Dragon's Crown Pro is certainly a must-have game for any fan of the genre.
Subaeria's premise is brilliant and has loads of potential but its poorly executed roguelike structure, lack of tutorial, and severe glitches make it a tough game to recommend in its current state.

If you still haven't played Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and you love 2D action platformers then purchasing this Ultimate Edition is a no-brainer.

As an interactive story, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is in a class of its own.
If you're some sort of incel who finds underage anime girls enticing then by all means, give Gal Gun 2 a try.
Project Nimbus: Code Mirai is a noble attempt at crafting a new mech combat game.
Simply put, Dragon Blaze is one of Psikyo's best shmups.
I'm surprised that more people aren't playing The Little Ball That Could as it's such a satisfying and brilliant take on the Marble Madness formula.
