Archvale is a really solidly done top down shooter. Nuclear Throne RPG is probably how i'd classify it, though it's a little more bullet hell than the speed of Nuclear Throne. Also on Gamepass.

I can confidently say that Beast Breaker owns, and I'm sad that it didn't get too much press because it launched on Epic and the Switch.

Early Access. 85% positive out of nearly 500 reviews with people praising its similarity to Noita in the crazy possible combinations but dumping on the music and writing. It is a Chinese game.

Tried it out in Nextfest. It's Noita but reimagined as an roguelike arena shooter. Suffers a lot from not really giving you spell components until you're a few rooms in, but Noita has the same issue, I guess! The story is an isekai thing and has nothing memorable to it.

87% positive out of 122. If the combat is good I might like this, not enamored with serving food but I did like how they did it in Dave the Diver, hopefully it's like that. The slurping noises in the trailer when people were eating is super gross tho

I messed around with this in NextFest. Great depictions of food but the dungeoning gameplay felt like it would get repetitive quickly since it felt like there were only a few enemy types.

ARPG / souls-like from the Ori devs? Looks pretty sick!
