Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The Messenger

Challenging difficulty

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.

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A charming, witty 2D adventure where half-genie Shantae explores islands with her hair whip, pirate gadgets and dance magic. Teaming up with her nemesis Risky Boots and the vibrant, animated pixel art give it its special appeal.
