Brings what grabs you about Fearmonium: jumping and platforming, plenty of humour as well as lots to discover.

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.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Melee combat with weapons or fists

The spiritual successor to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night sends you as Miriam through a sprawling gothic demon castle packed with secrets. Absorbing shards from defeated enemies unlocks hundreds of abilities, while weapons and crafting let you shape your own build.

Alice: Madness Returns

Dread and tension

A grim hack-and-slash platformer that turns Wonderland into a twisted reflection of Alice's shattered mind. Its grotesquely beautiful art direction and haunting story about her family's death make every realm memorable.

Psychonauts

Lots of humour

A quirky 3D platformer where a young psychic dives into the minds of eccentric characters, each one a wildly inventive level. Sharp humor, distinctive art and surprisingly heartfelt themes about mental struggles make it a cult classic.

American McGee's Alice

Dread and tension

A twisted, nightmarish Wonderland where a traumatized Alice fights through with a vorpal knife and strange weapons, mixing action, platforming and puzzles. Its gothic, surreal art direction makes it unforgettable.

Skautfold: Usurper

Melee combat with weapons or fists

You battle cosmic horrors spilling out of an otherworldly citadel over London in this Metroidvania-style adventure. Explore winding levels, unlock new abilities and hunt down the Navigator.

Sundered

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A hand-drawn Metroidvania with procedurally shifting caverns where you fight swarms and towering bosses as Eshe. Corrupted relics make you stronger but cost you your humanity.

Well Dweller

Distinctive, stylised art style

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.
