The world is drowning, and you are sailing straight into a brilliant, sun-drenched nightmare where your every choice leaves a permanent scar on the next player's universe.

The neon glow of arcade lasers and the relentless anxiety of auto-scrolling death are back, and they do not care about your feelings.

The burning fires of Sanctuary have twisted into something far more sinister, pulling you straight into a dense, decaying world where survival is a brutal, constant grind.

An old, run-down amusement park rotting away inside a foggy forest is the perfect staging ground for a nightmare, and this game nails that unsettling mood right out of the gate.

Drop Duchy Complete Edition feels like someone took a medieval war board game and smashed it into a classic block-stacker, then wrapped the whole thing in a gritty, hand-drawn art style.

You step into the trotters of Boris, a tiny baby boar with a massive nose and a surprisingly high level of literacy, set loose in a sprawling 3D world.

You wake up completely alone on a fishing boat with a massive debt hanging over your head and absolute zero hand-holding to guide you.

Inmost drops, you straight into a world thick with rain, darkness, and an absolute mood that swallows you whole from the jump.

Tomodachi Life returns to take over your life, turning your console into a vibrant, chaotic island sanctuary where your Mii creations run completely loose.

Imagine taking the infuriating rhythm of Flappy Bird and smashing it face-first into an aggressive, bullet-filled shoot 'em up.
