Ecco the Dolphin

91 %

1992 PCXbox free

  • Challenging difficulty
  • Sci-fi setting
  • Puzzles and brain teasers

As a young dolphin you swim through vast, dangerous oceans to rescue your vanished family. It blends exploration, puzzles and tricky underwater action with an unusual, melancholic atmosphere and a notoriously high difficulty.

Ecco: The Tides of Time

Challenging difficulty

As the dolphin Ecco, you swim through vivid underwater worlds, solve puzzles and travel through time to stop a cosmic threat. It is atmospheric, unusual and notoriously tough.

Hypogea

Dark, serious atmosphere

A short, atmospheric 3D platformer about escaping a mysterious underground megastructure. It focuses on mood, exploration and platforming challenges.

DeadCore

Challenging difficulty

DeadCore is a fast first-person platformer with guns, in which you climb a massive, fog-shrouded tower. Precise jumping, timing and speedrun appeal take center stage, wrapped in a dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere.

Routine

Lavish presentation

A tense first-person horror trek through an abandoned lunar base styled after an 80s vision of the future, where you dodge hostile machines with a clunky tool while uncovering what happened to the crew. With almost no HUD, it relies on atmosphere, sound design and dread.

The Swapper

Lavish presentation

An atmospheric puzzle platformer where you create clones of yourself and swap between them to solve puzzles on an abandoned space station. Its handcrafted, claustrophobic look and philosophical story about consciousness and identity set it apart.

The Way

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A pixel-art sci-fi platformer in the vein of Another World and Flashback: you travel to an alien planet seeking a way to bring a loved one back to life. Puzzles, platforming and exploration form the core.

Echo Weaver

Lots to discover

A time-loop Metroidvania where knowledge, not traditional upgrades, drives your progress. As the last Weaver you exploit time anomalies, uncover secrets and try to break the cycle.

Metroid Dread

Lavish presentation

Samus Aran's 2D return pairs fluid, fast movement and precise melee counters with classic Metroidvania exploration. Tense escapes from the near-invincible E.M.M.I. robots and demanding boss fights keep the pressure high.

Boneworks

Challenging difficulty

A VR adventure built around a thorough physics simulation, where weapons, objects and your own body are handled physically to beat enemies and puzzles. Climbing, throwing and melee combat feel tangible and experimental.
