Finally, a Harvest Moon clone that focuses more on the farm than the women. But uh, you did pick Penny... right?
Stardew Valley
Eric Barone
Just climb the tower senpai.
Let It Die
Grasshopper Manufacture
This skill based boss rush eargasm came out of nowhere and is here to stay
Furi
The Game Bakers
A ninja game that isn't cringy normie shit, or balls-to-the-wall difficult.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Mimimi Productions
The true successor to roller coaster tycoon. It's a pretty fun simulator with constant new free updates and a strong mod community.
Planet Coaster
Frontier Developments
THE TIDE HAS TURNED.
Darkest Dungeon
Red Hook Studios
I bought a PS3 just for this game!
The Last Guardian
Team Ico
Killer visuals and tight controls and mechanics. Worth a shot if you're looking for some comfy platforming.
Owlboy
D-pad Studio
Sometimes we forget how fun a game completely focused on atmosphere and dialogue can really be. Not your indie BS "dialogue". Actual talks between well-developed characters about ludicrous stuff while you try to remember their favourite drink. FUCK YOU, VIRGILIO. You go eat a fucking plum on a hat.
VA-11 HALL-A
Sukeban Games
There's some very questionable decisions Blizzard has made when it comes to balance, but at least it's fun.
Overwatch
Blizzard Entertainment
