Hollow Knight: Silksong
Hollow Knight: Silksong upgrades Hornet's pogo-and-dash kit to feel sharper than the original, and 40 hours at $20 is absurd value — if you can stomach the punishing boss timing.

Cronos: The New Dawn
Corridor dread and bullet-hoarding done as well as Dead Space did it — worth the price if you can forgive boss fights that belong in a different game.
- Updated 2d ago
Nioh 3
Punches above its sequel weight — Nioh 3's Samurai/Ninja stance system is Team Ninja's sharpest combat to date, despite empty-zone pacing.
- Updated 96d ago
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
The best Ubisoft release in years — Lost Crown nails 2.5D metroidvania flow with Hollow-Knight comparisons, but Ubisoft canceled the sequel after sales disappointed.
- Updated 98d ago
Black Myth: Wukong
Killer boss combat with Journey-to-the-West mythology — Wukong's lategame fights rival Orphan of Kos, but Chapter 2 onward demands real Sekiro-level patience.
- Updated 98d ago
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.
- Updated 98d ago
Balatro
Definitive deck-building poker roguelike that holds up past 100 hours, with free Friends of Jimbo updates adding new collab card packs.
- Updated 98d ago
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.
- Updated 98d ago
Hades II
Supergiant's hardest swing in years — Hades II isn't a remix, it's a deeper, weirder game that still respects the original's perfect run-based loop.
- Updated 99d ago
Denshattack!
Denshattack! dethrones Jet Set Radio — rail-locked trick combos and a pop-punk anti-capitalist story that's unputdownable. Buy it.
