  • Dark, serious atmosphere
  • Lots to discover
  • Fantasy setting

As the vengeful vampire-wraith Raziel, you shift between the material and spectral realms across the ruined land of Nosgoth. Its gothic storytelling, world-shifting puzzles and gruesome combat, impaling or burning foes, make it stand out.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Strong, story-driven narrative

As the freshly resurrected vampire Kain, you slash through the gloomy top-down land of Nosgoth, collecting spells, weapons and shapeshifting forms. Famed for its gothic atmosphere, richly voiced dramatic storytelling and morally grey tale of vengeance.

1666: Amsterdam

Dark, serious atmosphere

A grim third-person action-adventure set in 17th-century Amsterdam, where the witch Noa investigates by day to unmask demons posing as humans and confronts them in combat by night.

Silver Pines

Challenging difficulty

A classic-style survival horror set in a small American town, mixing scarce resources, puzzles and interconnected exploration into a grim mystery about redemption.

Among the Trolls

Lots to discover

A first-person survival adventure set in the Finnish forests, where you uncover family secrets and troll folklore while staying alive in the wilderness. Little information is available on this unreleased game.

Well Dweller

Lots to discover

A dark fairy-tale metroidvania where you play a tiny bird with a matchstick, crossing a wretched kingdom to burn the wicked queen. Expect quirky characters, exploration and platforming action. The game is new and little known to me, so this rating relies mostly on the description.

The Sinking City 2

Strong, story-driven narrative

A survival horror game set in a flooded Arkham, where you scrape by on scarce resources while fighting Lovecraftian horrors and exploring an oppressive, drowned city.

Aquaria

Open world

Aquaria is an underwater Metroidvania where you swim as Naija through a vast, mysterious ocean, using song and transformations to unlock new abilities. Atmospheric exploration and a fully voiced story are the heart of the game.
