Wayfinder

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.

Goblin 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.

Duskfade

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.
