With The Lacerator, Games From The Abyss have crafted something a bit different for the genre. Yes, save points are scarce, ammo is limited, and a fixed camera adds cinematic flair just as it did through the ’90s, but it is also very much its own thing.

Shrine’s Legacy is a co-op action-RPG released as of October 7th, 2025, for the PC platform, and is set in the world of Ardemia, where two unlikely heroes are brought together through a shared passion of wanting to kill an evil dude.

The game loop of No, I’m Not a Human is based around a day/night cycle where daytime means everybody must stay inside, lest the scorching sun burn them alive, and nighttime is when both humans and Visitors roam the streets, seeking shelter by knocking on random doors and asking to come in.

LEGO Voyagers is a 2-player co-op puzzle adventure game where you must work with a friend locally or online to rescue a spacecraft! You’ll play as both a red and blue LEGO block who must snap together, hop across cliffs, and even build bridges and throw switches across a variety of different LEGO-themed landscapes.

Troublemaker 2: Beyond Dream is quite similar to the original game in that it offers beat ’em style combat, a now MORE open world to explore, and a story that attempts to be “edgy and modern"

The Knightling sets you off on a journey around the world of Clesseia on the hunt for your lost master, Sir Lionstone, and to stop the ‘Earthborn’ from harming your civilization.

Off is a game that has been floating around the astral plane for the better part of the last few decades. Some of you may not be familiar with this peculiar title that began as an RPG Maker project for developer Mortis Ghost, though many now recognize it as one of the inspirations behind the infamous Undertale and many other games to follow.

You could call Artis Impact a turn-based RPG, but honestly, its RPG mechanics—while present—seem to take a backseat to its narrative-heavy focus and greater message. The story, which conveys those messages, goes places—LOTS of places.

Make Room is a cozy room builder that has you creating dioramas of varying sizes that either meet the requirements of the ‘guided requests’ or let you run wild with the sandbox.

Primal Planet, just as its title implies, is set in a prehistoric world, and while that’s true, it also mixes in elements of science fiction. I bet you didn’t see that one coming, did you!?

Annapurna Interactive's newest indie drops this week in the form of the bicycle racing game Wheel World, a game all about saving the universe using pedal power!

Fretless – The Wrath of Riffson is a turn-based RPG where you’ll play as Rob, a musician capable of wielding and controlling an assortment of powerful weaponized instruments, including an acoustic guitar, synth keyboard, bass guitar, and my favorite—the brutally low-tuned 8-string guitar for those epic death metal riffs!

Eriksholm’s namesake is the fictional city it takes place in, a gorgeous slice of 1900s Scandinavia bustling with life and yet teeming with the tension wrought by not only the rise of industrialization and the class divides it’s created, but also a sudden deadly plague referred to as Heartpox.

Ruffy has the ability to SWAP – swap textures, that is – a video gamey-sounding power as I’ve ever heard, but one with unique practical implications in the game’s world of Riverside.  What if you could texture-swap to replace a waterfall with climbable vines so you can reach the top of it?  What if you could switch out metal boxes for wooden ones so they can be broken apart to clear a path through them?  And what if you could swap ocean water for lava to burn that hungry shar

Outrider Mako could be described as a 2D action game, but that would be oversimplifying things as it blends many different genres together. Where do I even start? Well, there are deliveries to make, a bonkers battle system to master, bosses to take down, loot to collect, items to purchase, shops to shop in, nectar to bathe in—phew, you name it, it’s here!

The Alters brings a new perspective to this question.  It not only imbues 11 Bit’s themes with fresh and fascinating new ideas, but creates a dynamic, reactive framework from which emerges some of the most creative science fiction I’ve ever experienced.

Date Everything is much like other dating sims out there, only the sexy beings you’re chatting to are all the personification of various household objects, pieces of furniture, food, and maybe even the very concept of electricity.
