Nine Sols
Another combat focus metroidvania, except the Taopunk vibes are absolutely impeccable. Big world, small creature yadda yadda, though it’s not like you’re a nobody here like you are in Hallownest or Aorasque. You are Yi, one of the leaders here, exiled for 500 years.

My Time At Sandrock
I like this game. They managed to make a sequel to My Time At Portia, and make the story and distinct while leaving a recognisable gameplay loop.

Turnip Boy Robs A Bank
He’s done it again! Our favourite vegetable commits heinous atrocities for fun, part two. What do you mean I haven’t spoken about the time he committed tax evasion (whoops, I’ll put that out eventually, that game is good too.)

Chants of Sennaar
A (mostly) puzzle game about language. Specifically languages you don’t know. And if you’re thinking “oh this sounds like Trunic,” then you’re a little mistaken because the main goal of the game here is to learn and understand the languages. The game helps with this.

The Outer Worlds
A 2019 space exploration game that’s super story heavy with some elements of mystery, and if you’re thinking of a certain other Outer game, you’d be thinking wrong. This one has guns! It’s one of the Obsidian RPGs, and I’m honestly surprised at how engaged I’ve been with this, since I’m not usually the kind…

House Flipper
It’s a very simple game: You start with a shithole, and you turn it into an actually cozy livable space before selling it to someone for a significant profit. Thats it, thats the whole game, and thats why I recommend waiting for it to go on sale.

The Last Case of Benedict Fox
Sadly not about actual foxes, but a very compelling detective metroidvania nontheless! Though this game isn’t for the faint of heart, it’s not a horror game, but it is incredibly lovecraftian. Lots of creepy locales and tentacles amongst the stuff that wants to kill you, oh and if you’re arachnophobic, you might wanna hold off…

Hi-Fi Rush
Rhythm game? Hell yeah! Wait, spectacle fighter hybrid? I never would have guessed this combination would exist. So you’re a rockstar with a busted up arm, and go get it replaced with a robot arm so that you can shred guitar. Except shit gets wild and suddenly you’re wanted by every damn security robot on…

Ori And The Blind Forest
Ori is an interersting one, unlike most other games in the genre, it’s a metroidvania that isn’t focused on combat, but rather a lot of tricky platforming through difficult terrain and spiked tunnels. There are some enemies that get in your way, but in general the way to tackle them is to just dodge their…

Crash Bandicoot Trilogy
Got this game for the nostalgia, and now I actually like Crash 1. I recomend this for everyone who like oldschool platformers, but I especially recommend this game to the people that, like me, played and liked Crash Bandicoot 2&3 as a kid but didn’t really like Crash 1, as this version of crash 1…

DEATHLOOP
8 people, 8 kills, one day. Can’t be that hard right? Though when you wake up knowing nothing, with a face full of sand on the beach it’s not gonna be easy figuring out what to do or even who you are. As is customary for games that are easy to spoil, uhhh… Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1252330…

Celeste
Welcome to Celeste Mountain, a precarious climb to overcome with sheer force of will and a lot of character development. You play as Madoline, a sassy cutie who came to climb the mountain because they weren’t feeling the best in their home life, and you’ll meet a number of interesting and quirky characters each with…
