7.7/10Garden of Witches
Garden of Witches is Team Tapas's first PC game: a cute/creepy action roguelike where Thread Witch Sil herds lazy colleagues to a tea party with giant scissors. 1.0 finishes the story and rebuilds combat. Buy at $13.29 through 11 Sep 2026; wait if you need Hades-class depth.
Aug 28, 2026
7.4/10Box Knight
Box Knight is a silly side-scrolling brawler in a cursed office: clock out Friday, put on the cardboard helm, and climb the tower to the CEO. 1.0 is on Steam with couch co-op. Buy if you want Castle Crashers energy with roguelite retries. Skip if you need a German build or a deep systems RPG.
Aug 25, 2026
7.3/10Wayfinder
Wayfinder left the live-service MMO dream behind and shipped as a buy-to-play 3-player co-op action RPG from Airship Syndicate. Stylish Wayfinders, loot-heavy hunts, and Gloom Dagger mutators that let you shape runs. Worth a look on sale if you want Borderlands-style drop-in co-op with MMO dungeon bones; skip if you needed the original MMO pitch or a stutter-free endgame treadmill.
Oct 21, 2024
7.8/10How to Fish
How to Fish looks like a cozy fishing trip and plays like Peak with rods, rifles, and seagull chaos. Shipwrecked after a boozy boat ride, you fish, fight, gamble your catch, and unlock islands with 1-4 players. Buy for chaotic co-op nights; wait if you want a chill fishing sim.

8.0/10Don't Let It Starve
Horror roguelike bento-builder: pack Tetris meals for a hungry wall-chef.
Jun 12, 2026
7.3/10Goblin Company
Goblin Company is BitBorne’s co-op mining survival debut — dig tunnels, lay chaotic rail networks, fight the dark and the creatures, chase the Giant Crystal for WHAAG MINING INC. Solo or online co-op, Deep Rock–adjacent but sillier and cheaper. Best with friends who like janky physics comedy; wait if you need polished DRG-level systems day one.

8.0/10Duskfade
Duskfade is Weird Beluga’s love letter to classic 3D action-platformers — jump, dash, grapple, glide, and slash with Zirian and mechanical Cuckoo to free a sister from a Clock Tower that drowned the world in night. Multiplatform (PC/PS5/Xbox/Switch 2), Steam Deck Verified. Best for Jak/Spyro nostalgia with modern combat; skip if you want pure open-world sandbox.
Aug 13, 2026
7.8/10Dreamcards
Dreamcards is a hand-drawn roguelike deckbuilder about dreams: gather relationship cards by day, fight the nightmare by night across six mixable strategies, and chase lucid-dream scores for seven nights without slipping. Built over four years by Brazil’s Soneka Games. Best for deckbuilder fans who want esoteric mood and combo absurdity; skip if you want a conventional Slay-the-Spire clone with no dream framing.
Aug 19, 2026
6.8/10Brigador Killers
Brigador Killers is Stellar Jockeys’ Early Access follow-up to the cult isometric Brigador — now an insurgency sim where you fight on foot and in stolen armor, scavenge a private arsenal, and take the war to the SNC on Mar Nosso. Expect destructive tactical sandbox missions, Makeup and Vanity Set violence-as-soundtrack, and systems still in flux through 2026. Best for Brigador fans and patient EA buyers; wait if you need a finished campaign or non-English/Linux day one.
Aug 20, 2026
7.5/10Hearth and Hamlet
Hearth and Hamlet is a cozy medieval incremental game dressed as a citybuilder: campfire → kingdom via resources, workers, laws, research, and trade, all in readable pixel art. Expect idle-friendly loops and policy/tech trees more than freeform town design — buildings grow on set paths. Best if you want calm number-climbing with a kingdom fantasy; skip if you need to architect every road yourself.
Aug 19, 2026
8.0/10VHOLUME
VHOLUME is a melancholic first-person parkour run through a brutalist, overgrown capital where bureaucracy turns a ration-ticket errand into an odyssey. Movement is the point: jump, climb, slide, and chase momentum until shortcuts feel like cheating the architecture. Solo time trials, live multiplayer races, and ghost runs keep routes alive after the story beats; Steam Workshop adds community maps. From part of the team behind Straftat — expect sharp feel, not AAA spectacle. Best if you liked Mirror’s Edge or liminal concrete playgrounds and want melancholy over neon hype.
