Behind the Frame presents itself as comfort food. For some, that's sorely needed right now. And for me, it's a welcome treat at any time.
Blasphemous was a brutally tough Metroidvania. The sequel hits just as hard in every way but with a smoother difficulty curve and an outstanding first act.
30XX is an immensely satisfying and easy-to-pick-up Megaman-like, but victory feels a bit too dependent on random ability upgrades.
Cosmic Collapse trades in Suika's fruit for celestial bodies and makes a few smart tweaks to the formula; it's a standout Suika-like puzzle game on PC and Steam Deck.

Don't let the adorable characters fool you, AK-xolotl is a tough Rogue-lite shmup that'll have you coming back for one run after another!

Backpack Hero is a rogue-lite, dungeon crawler, inventory management game that is so much deeper than it appears on its surface.
Gal Guardians is a solid homage to a certain Castlevania game, but probably not the one most players are expecting based on the previews.

A Highland Song combines 2D platforming, adventure game elements, survival mechanics, and rhythm sections into a compelling but occasionally confusing package.
Escape from Terror City is an unpolished low-poly shmup that seeks to answer the question, "What would Contra have been like as an N64 game?".
As a lifelong Star Trek fan I want to love the new 4X grand strategy game, but there's so much going on that I can't connect with any of it.
The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection is a decent way to play seven old games but doesn't do anything to celebrate the titles or franchise they come from.
Salt and sacrifice brought me nothing but suffering, but I can't stop playing. Once I figured it out, I became unstoppable.
