Guardians of Azuma successfully reinvents the series with ambitious village-building mechanics and gorgeous Japanese aesthetics.

RoadCraft trades SnowRunner's survival mechanics for pure construction chaos, letting you rebuild disaster zones with 40+ heavy machines. It's a slow-burn puzzle game disguised as a truck sim, where patience pays off but technical issues can break the zen. Perfect for heavy machinery enthusiasts who don't mind getting their virtual hands dirty.

The Midnight Walk is an innovative VR experience that prioritizes artistic vision and emotional storytelling over traditional gameplay.

Revenge of the Savage Planet is a hilarious, at times horrifying, jaunt through the far reaches of space that will have you absorbed within the weirdness as soon as you dive in. It’s definitely a Metroidvania, despite the third-person perspective, and the age-old story of revenge against an unfair dismissal is something everyone can relate to.
Tempest Rising is an authentic homage to what many would consider the peak period of RTS gaming. Fans of the genre looking for a solid campaign will be happy with what Tempest Rising has to offer, but don't expect it to fix the long-standing issues in the genre in regards to multiplayer.
