The Pale Beyond is bleak and miserable in all the right ways, with a fantastic setting for a survival game.
Aces & Adventures combines poker and deck building to create a sensational card game that's easy to learn and hard to master.

Octopath Traveler II is a spectacular sequel, and the easiest recommendation I could ever give to RPG fans.
Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is my new favourite rhythm game, with brilliant musical gameplay and a tracklist that is simply breathtaking.
