Dex
Dex is a lot of things; it's an adventure game, an RPG, a side-scrolling action game, a Metroidvania-esque platformer, and at times a top-down shooter. And thanks to a rich game world and intriguing storyline, it's also a very enjoyable experience.
Indie developers love to make old-school arena shooters. Super Mutant Alien Assault allows you to play with a friend to blast away alien scum as a couple of robot chums but does it do enough to set itself apart in the genre?
Lost Sea
If you've ever wanted to explore a tropical paradise in a roguelike adventure then here's a game for you. Lost Sea proves that roguelikes can be relaxing as well as hectic so let's sail away and see what treasures await.

Mighty No. 9
Mega Man may not be around much anymore, but a new blue robotic hero is here to save the day. Beck sure has some enormous shoes to fill so let's see how Mighty No. 9 holds up to the classics.
Grand Kingdom
Turn-based strategy RPGs could always use a little variety. Thankfully, Grand Kingdom is here to provide an immersive and unique experience but is it a war worth fighting? Keep marching forth and let's find out.
Faith is back to run another day after an eight year hiatus. The original Mirror's Edge was an instant classic with its unique art style and parkour gameplay, but times change quickly so has Dice been able to keep up with Faith?
