A Hat in Time

Lots of humour

A charming 3D collectathon platformer in the vein of N64 classics, where a tiny girl uses magical hats to bounce through varied, wonderfully weird worlds. Its chapters, from a mafia-run town to dueling bird film studios, overflow with humor and creativity.

The Messenger

Lots of humour

A ninja platformer that begins as an 8-bit romp and, through time travel, opens up into a 16-bit Metroidvania full of deadpan humor. Precise sword fighting and the satisfying cloudstep mid-air jump make movement a joy.

Wuppo

Lots of humour

A quirky hand-drawn Metroidvania adventure in which a little Wum explores a bizarre world in search of a new home, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. Its offbeat humor and distinctive look define the experience.

Figment

Lavish presentation

Figment is a quirky action-adventure set inside a human mind, where you play Dusty, fighting nightmares and solving puzzles. Its hand-drawn world, musical numbers and dry humor make it stand out.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero

Lavish presentation

A charming 2.5D platformer where half-genie Shantae uses her hair whip and dance transformations to move through hand-animated stages. Lots of humor, bright cartoon visuals and ability-gated exploration define the experience.

MediEvil II

Focus on a single character

Undead knight Sir Dan is resurrected in Victorian London to battle a sorcerer and his reanimated horde, with macabre humor and Gothic charm. It blends sword combat, platforming and light puzzles, with a variety of weapons and quirky transformations.
