  • Lots to discover
  • Fantasy setting
  • Distinctive, stylised art style

A stylized 3D platformer adventure through the ruined kingdom of Penumbra, mixing jumping, light combat and trap-filled temples. The emphasis is on precise movement rather than narrative.

Well Dweller

Dark, serious atmosphere

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 Siege and the Sandfox

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D stealth Metroidvania with fluid parkour, where you play the legendary Sandfox exploring a besieged palace and the ancient prisons beneath it. Sneaking and acrobatic platforming drive the exploration.

Auridia

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A short metroidvania where you open up an interconnected world by combining abilities like climbing, grappling, throwing and parrying. Along the way you study artifacts and commune with forgotten gods to piece together what happened to Auridia.

Olija

Dark, serious atmosphere

An atmospheric pixel-art action game in which the shipwrecked Faraday fights through the grim land of Terraphage with a throwable harpoon he can teleport to. Fast, fluid combat and a distinctive retro look define it.

Where the Seeds Fall

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A platforming adventure set on the branches of a World Tree where humanity shelters from a spreading blight. You explore ruins, read the wind and take leaps of faith into the unknown.

Dandara

Distinctive, stylised art style

A metroidvania where Dandara doesn't walk but leaps instantly from surface to surface, turning gravity and space into a puzzle of movement. Surreal pixel-art worlds reward exploration and demand precise leaping through tricky traversal and combat.

Vernal Edge

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A 2D Metroidvania built around fast, punchy combat and precise platforming. Its story centers on rivalry, revenge and personal growth.

Catmaze

Dark, serious atmosphere

A Metroidvania rooted in Slavic myth, where you play the sorceress Alesta exploring gloomy forests in search of the road to the land of the dead. Folklore and platforming action take center stage.
