Deer & Boy is a short, poetic cinematic platformer where a runaway boy and a growing fawn share a silent, emotional journey. The game emphasizes visuals, music, and companion-based puzzles over complex mechanics. Reviews are largely positive about atmosphere and presentation, note an accessible difficulty, but some players report occasional bugs, camera/control issues, and a relatively brief runtime.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Skitarii Class Deluxe Edition

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Skitarii Class Deluxe Edition is a paid cosmetic DLC released June 23, 2026 that adds an exclusive Skitarii outfit, a unique servo skull skin, six deluxe weapon skins, and a portrait frame restricted to the Skitarii class. The store listing confirms these cosmetics are class-locked. Player feedback (77 reviews, overall Very Positive) praises the aesthetic but repeatedly reports issues: some buyers said items were not available at character creation but could be applied later at the Hub's Barber-Chirurgeon station, others call out color/forgeworld limitations, missing cosmetics in separate bundles, and complaints about price. There are no update notes or roadmap items in the provided bundle, so ongoing support or fixes are not confirmed here.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Skitarii Class

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide - Skitarii Class is a single-class DLC that adds an Adeptus Mechanicus operative with a non-linear talent tree, servo-skull companion, and a loadout of Arc, Phosphor, Transonic and Galvanic weapons. Players praise weapon sound design, cinematic presentation, and lore fidelity, while some reviews call the class mechanically underwhelming and several report launch queue/login issues after purchase. The DLC is targeted at Darktide players who want a new class fantasy and weapon feel, but be aware of early technical friction and mixed opinions on long-term depth.

Dark Scrolls header art
ActionAdventureIndie

Dark Scrolls

Dark Scrolls is a retro-flavored action platformer with roguelite progression and local/online co-op. Runs are short and fast-paced, with high skill demands, varied characters, unlockables, and mixed reviews citing fun multiplayer and visual/audio polish issues. If you enjoy arcade-style challenge and cooperative chaos, Dark Scrolls can be worth trying now, but expect balance quirks, a learning curve, and some early-launch bugs.

Voltage High Society header art
ActionAdventureIndie

Voltage High Society

Voltage High Society is a first-person, melee-focused Metroidvania that puts exploration and body-horror cyberpunk atmosphere front and center. You progress by ripping abilities from the island to open new paths; art, level design and exploration are frequently praised, while combat, hit detection, and occasional technical jank are common criticisms. The game left Early Access with a 1.0 release on June 23, 2026 that added the final level and several fixes, but some players still report rough edges.

FISH header art
ActionIndieEarly Access

FISH

FISH is a short, quirky platformer run-and-gun where you play an armed fish through stylized levels, buy weapons between stages, and face intense bosses. Early access build is praised for its art, boss design, responsive feel, and an Endless roguelike mode, but multiple player reports and samples note limited content and some sharp difficulty spikes or unreadable attacks. The developer issued hotfixes shortly after release addressing Endless Mode, visibility, and Time Attack issues.

Project L33T: Founders Edition header art
ActionIndieMassively Multiplayer

Project L33T: Founders Edition

Project L33T: Founders Edition is an early-access extraction shooter built around a persistent open world where players choose PvE or PvP servers, customize weapons in a gunsmith, upgrade a personal hideout, and attempt long, risk-reward expeditions. Store text and recent developer updates confirm persistence, safe zones, and hideout progression. Player reviews are mixed: many praise the persistent PvE experience and long-session exploration, while many others report severe bugs, optimization problems, AI balance issues, server availability concerns, and contentious monetization/pricing. Recent news shows a major June update to the persistent world codebase, but community reports still cite instability and uneven quality.

Tales Beyond The Tomb - No Witnesses header art
ActionAdventureCasual

Tales Beyond The Tomb - No Witnesses

Tales Beyond The Tomb - No Witnesses is a short, cinematic psychological horror episode focused on stealth, exploration, and tense storytelling. The first-person chapter-based experience (50–90 minutes) uses optional microphone detection for immersive stealth moments, multiple playable perspectives, full voice acting, and graphic violence. Player reviews are Very Positive overall, praising atmosphere, gore, and pacing, while common downsides include repetitive similarities to earlier entries, occasional bugs, and lack of official Chinese text. The game is best for solo indie-horror players who want a compact, intense roadside slasher tale rather than deep systems or long playtime.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales header art
ActionAdventureRPG

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is an HD-2D action RPG that pairs nostalgic exploration with real-time, weapon-switching combat and a companion magic system. The game is praised for its visuals, music, and boss fights, and supports a prologue demo that can carry saves into the full release. Common criticisms from players include repeated map reuse across the four time periods, recycled enemy designs, frustrations with the magicite (item) drop/rarity progression, a number of performance problems at launch (notably FPS drops when the fairy companion appears on some systems), and pricing/value concerns. If you appreciate retro-inspired Zelda-like exploration, tactical positioning in ARPG combat, and HD-2D presentation, this title is worth trying (the demo exists); players sensitive to repetition, poor optimization on specific hardware, or unwilling to wait for discounts may prefer to wait.

The Last Salvage Squad

The Last Salvage Squad is a short, single-player 2.5D arena shooter where you pilot giant salvage units to recover weapons and clear compact missions. Reviews praise fast, satisfying shooting, distinct weapon feels, and a charming cast (yes, a dog), while noting a brief main campaign, some visual harshness from a red-heavy filter, and occasional small bugs. Difficulty is tunable (Easy/Normal/Hard) with an unlockable EX loop and loadout customization that extend replay value. Good fit for players who want quick, movement-focused FPS sessions with retro/doom-like vibes.

Backrooms Lost Runners header art
ActionAdventureIndie

Backrooms Lost Runners

Backrooms Lost Runners is a cooperative survival-horror that locks players in liminal corridors where voice, light, and movement trigger hostile entities. The Early Access chapter is story-focused and short (a few hours), with strong atmosphere, co-op emphasis, and voice-reactive AI. Reviews are generally positive about mood, visuals, and optimization, though players report balancing issues (oneshot enemies), some bugs, and limited current content. If you value tense team play and environmental puzzles, Backrooms Lost Runners is a compelling Early Access pick; players seeking a finished, content-rich experience may prefer to wait for more updates.

goblinAmerica

goblinAmerica is a squirmy, bouncy first-person shooter that mixes high-speed movement and speedrun-friendly level design with dense, secret-packed exploration. You play a solarcel possessing U.S. presidents to correct history, using a wide arsenal of weapons, tools and items while uncovering surreal writing and grotesque visuals. Early Access player reviews are Very Positive about the movement, art and secrets, but many note lighting, input lag and optimization issues; the developer has been actively pushing fixes since launch.
