The ultimate surthrival experience.

An experience which serves as a "best of" complation of other game mechanics, Refrain offers a mechanically strong experience with a shallow story.

A good if decidedly low budget effort which nails two of the 4X formula, but ditches others. Warhammer fans will celebrate its addition, genre veterans will find it lacking.

Wreckfest the destructive concept as far as it can go without becoming realistic Mario Kart and lets the players loose inside its tracks. Best of all, it never takes itself seriously.

A deeply flawed but remarkable game, Vampyr's treatment of a vampire's need to hunt and its incredibly fleshed out characters offsets its weaker combat system. Stick with it for the strong narrative.

Fhtagn's multi-option mini-sagas helps to offer continual replay value, with countless outcomes, random results and new stories each time. Also the funniest take on mystic doomsday cults in years.

Flawed but good, Omensight offers an interesting range of Groundhog Day mechanics, events and story with a surrealist graphical style. The entire game is one massive puzzle to find the best outcome.

Nostalgic but not without its own sense of identity, Curse of the Moon is a brilliant Castlevania clone. Varied character abilities, sprawling levels and tight mechanics make it worthwhile.

An interesting take on both the city building and steampunk genre, Frostpunk will see you losing again and again. Yet, desipite that, it keeps offering reasons for you to come back for more.

Akin to the experimental releases of the PSX, or when Broken Sword was at its zenith, Forgotton Anne is brilliantly surreal. The action platformer gameplay and aesthetic is a breath of fresh air.
