An illustrious tale of a Chinese fisherman seeking revenge quickly escalates to something not entirely of this world. Travel across China with a band of monks, fight pirates with old school beat 'em up action, and even play local or online co-op!
Come on into New Koza, a man-made island off the coast of Okinawa, in Orangeblood. A stylish hip-hop-inspired JRPG marred by clunky battles and dreadful dialogue. Gorgeous to look at and overall has a good vibe, but it's just not enough to save it.
9th Dawn III takes the player across the huge landscape of RPGs; this game is inspired by classics like the Ultima series, as well as modern masterpieces like The Witcher 3. In merging some of the best features the genre has to offer, 9th Dawn III is an engrossing (if lengthy) experience.
Noita, the new roguelite debut from Nolla Games, promises “every pixel is simulated”, and it delivers on an explosive physics sensation where gravity and the elements are your best friend and worst nightmare. This platformer action game has roguelite permadeath and a difficulty curve that unfortunately leads to repetition ad nauseum in some of its core gameplay loop.

Prodigal is the newest foray into the old-time aesthetic, featuring an emphasis on puzzles, exploration, and improving your relationship with the townsfolk.

Biomass is a solid Souls-like game with RPG and Metroidvania elements. The deep combat system ensures a fair fight against tough bosses. Despite a poorly executed story, the game is worth a try for fans of challenging combat-heavy games.
