Is this just a nonviolent Zelda bicycle RPG? Or a cursed land of immortality and greed, where the only way out is to be flushed down a cosmic sewer after a slow, spiraling decay of the soul?

If Hotline Miami purged itself of all the LSD and was made by John Madden and Tom Clancy instead, you'd have Phantom Squad. A super fun coop tacti-cool shooter with a great strategic layer.

Skin Deep is the kind of game we don’t see very often. It’s a silly, fun, cartoonishly-violent journey through a series of open-ended immersive sandboxes that isn’t afraid to take chances. A MUST BUY.

An exciting, fun RPG-lite adventure that probably got pigeonholed too much into the "Skyrim Wannabe" box for its own good. Really worth a look for those that like exploration and over-the-top fights.

REPOSE looks like a dungeon crawler, but it's not. It's a puzzle game wrapped in glorious 1-bit style and creepy atmosphere. Enter the survival horror and learn to hate hallways.

Parkour through Cyber-Poland, stab backpackers with a rusty sabre, blow up a Lada to rid the street of Soviet tanks, and have uncomfortable talks with your neighbor in the apartment hallway. Amazing!

A great byte-sized collection of imsim challenges. For the low low price of FREE, this absolutely should not be overlooked if you have an afternoon free and an immersive sim itch to scratch.

If you can get past the crunchy graphics, you'll find a novel rogue-lite that emphasizes player freedom and sick hoverboard tricks here. Definitely an overlooked gem for that "one more run" gameplay.

The best pants-crapping simulator you'll ever experience with your friends. A massive undertaking that combines imsim, survival, RPG and retro shooter.

Janky as it is, AAA open world games could stand to take some cues from The Bloodline. A truly ambitious masterpiece-in-the-making that needs more time to cook up proper gamefeel and squash bugs.
