Brings what grabs you about Sands of Aura: melee combat with weapons or fists, an open world and lots to discover.

The genre-defining Soulslike: a bleak, intricately interconnected world of punishing combat, hidden paths and bosses that demand patience and precise timing. The remaster adds sharper visuals and includes the Artorias of the Abyss expansion.

Praey for the Gods

Open world

A lone hero crosses a frozen, dying island and must take down towering god-like colossi in the vein of Shadow of the Colossus. Cold, stamina and survival pressure turn every expedition into a harsh trial.

Stray Blade

Lots to discover

An action RPG with fast, parry-focused combat in which you explore the ruins of a lost civilization alongside an animal companion. Death is woven into the journey and changes what awaits you.

Tails of Iron

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A hand-drawn 2D action adventure where you play Redgi, a rat prince fighting back against the invading frogs. Combat demands precise blocking and dodging, while you upgrade gear and rebuild your kingdom.

Mortal Shell

Challenging difficulty

A compact soulslike where you possess fallen warriors as "shells", each with its own abilities. The Harden mechanic lets you briefly turn to stone to absorb hits, making combat tense and tactical in a bleak, decaying world.

Tunic

Lots to discover

A tiny fox explores a mysterious Zelda-like world with demanding, Souls-inspired combat. Its true heart is a scattered in-game manual written in an unknown script, whose pages gradually reveal layered secrets and brain-bending puzzles.

Salt and Sanctuary

Lots to discover

A 2D Soulslike wrapped in Metroidvania design: stamina-driven combat, punishing bosses and a huge skill tree in a grim, interconnected world. Its hand-drawn look and rewarding exploration set it apart.

Dark Souls II

Open world

The second Souls entry sends you as a cursed undead through the decaying kingdom of Drangleic, offering punishing bosses, huge weapon and build variety, and a sprawling, branching world packed with secrets.
