Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Lavish presentation

An acrobatic adventure through a cursed Persian palace where the Dagger of Time lets you rewind mistakes while wall-running through elaborate trap puzzles. The Prince's charming, self-narrated tale and his banter with Farah make it a genre classic.

Alice: Madness Returns

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim hack-and-slash platformer that turns Wonderland into a twisted reflection of Alice's shattered mind. Its grotesquely beautiful art direction and haunting story about her family's death make every realm memorable.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Lavish presentation

The genre-defining Metroidvania sends the vampire Alucard through a sprawling gothic castle packed with secrets, loot and RPG leveling. Gorgeous sprite work and a legendary soundtrack complete the package, and the inverted castle remains one of gaming's most famous twists.

South of Midnight

Lavish presentation

A linear action-adventure through the American Deep South where Hazel, a Weaver, battles folklore creatures and mends the broken stories of haunted souls. Its stop-motion-inspired look and soulful Southern soundtrack make it stand out.

Dust: An Elysian Tail

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A hand-painted Metroidvania with fast, combo-heavy combat, where the amnesiac warrior Dust explores a storybook world alongside his talking sword and companion Fidget. Big combos against crowds of enemies and a charming story drive the experience.
