Saros

Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss wraps an intricate puzzle game in the shell of a beautifully designed, if familiar, Lovecraftian atmospheric horror experience that strikes a delicate balance between allowing you to solve problems on your own and consistently propelling you forward.

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! is a fun shooter that relies on old-school gameplay mechanics paired with a more modern game structure, paired with a fun B-movie-styled campaign with excellent pacing.
Ghost of Yōtei: Legends doesn't significantly reinvent the gameplay loop present in Tsushima: Legends, instead offering new mechanics and mission types to go with a familiar gear grind. Despite some difficulty pains, it works very well and serves as a strong foundation for what's to come.
