2. Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection
All three Etrian Odyssey classics get a remaster for PC and Nintendo Switch. Long-time fans of the series will love the vast quality of life improvements. Newcomers, however, might need to adapt to its tricky labyrinth-style designs.
3. Gibbon: Beyond the Trees
Gibbon isn’t trying to be the next big thing. And it doesn’t have to with its heartfelt story about apes and their habitat. The jungle setting is breathtaking and it makes swinging from vines and running from branch to branch so much more satisfying.

From swinging to rolling and rolling. This wacky puzzle classic returns to modern audiences as a powered-up version of itself. It comes with improved visuals, controls, and a fantastic soundtrack that takes us back to the early 2000s.

A new kind of horror awaits in this next chapter of the terrifying Amnesia series. It takes place in a derelict World War 1 bunker.

10. Crash Team Rumble
PS5 — Xbox Series X|S — PS4 — Xbox One

The next major expansion takes us to a Lovecraftian city. Necrom features new endgame challenges for longtime fans, as well as a new Arcanist class that can be a terrifying addition to the battlefield.
12. Final Fantasy XVI
The biggest triple-A game this June. Square Enix’s prized RPG promises a brand new world to explore and a story as riveting as its predecessors. Now with fast-paced character- action combat, Final Fantasy will never be the same. This evolution is a welcome change for the series. Let’s hope Clive’s story lives up to our expectations!
13. STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life

15. WRATH: Aeon of Ruin
PC — PS5 — Xbox Series X|S — PS4 — Xbox One — Switch
A shooter built for the fans of Quake and old-school DOOM. WRATH’s gameplay is fast and brutal, and its visuals remain consistent with its inspirations. Currently on Early Access, it’s slated for a release soon, but it hasn’t had any updates in a while.

17. Killer Frequency
PC — PS5 — Xbox Series X|S — PS4 — Xbox One — Switch
A virtual reality horror game takes place on a radio station. Play as a local DJ and jam to 80s music while you run away from a mysterious killer. While it is a horror game, it does lean more toward the campiness of old-school slasher movies.
18. Gunfire Reborn
This roguelike first-person shooter finally makes its way to PlayStation consoles. Choose from its eccentric cast of six playable heroes and go ham. Now they can join other players as they ransack randomly generated levels with insane firepower.

PC — Xbox Series X|S — Xbox One
Return to Jay Tholen’s surreal internetscape in this spinoff of Hypnospace Outlaw. Slayers X puts the spotlight on Hypnospace's edgy character, Zane, in what is basically a satire of “boomer shooters”. It’s a tour of his deranged mind. Expect thrash metal and gore.
20. Loop8: Summer of Gods
If you’re a Persona fan, you’ll love Loop8. This coming-of-age JRPG borrows concepts from ATLUS’ series. Namely its turn-based combat and visual novel design. What sets it apart is the time-travel gimmick which can alter the story and your choices.
21. Nocturnal
PC — PS5 — Xbox Series X|S — PS4 — Xbox One — Switch
Nocturnal’s 2D design can be easily mistaken as a Castlevania or Dead Cells clone, but it’s more than that. There’s no procedural generation. Everything is designed with a goal in mind. The gameplay is anchored by a unique storyline about a foggy world. Use the embers to cleanse all evil.
22. Bleak Sword DX
A pocked-sized adventure set in a demented lo-fi world. This newly updated version features new story beats and a handful of dynamic gameplay changes to ease the tension.

24. Oblivion Override
Piling on to a long list of roguelike hack-and-slash titles is Oblivion Override. It’s like if Dead Cells decided to have a kid with Mega Man. This wasteland is rife with different kinds of enemies, so master their array of high-tech weaponry, including Mechs, to level the playing field.
25. Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed
The hilarious sequel to Destroy All Humans! will pester humanity once again. This time on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Reprobed is still the same game, where you invade the human race in crazy ways. The only downside for this port is the lack of multiplayer. You’re gonna have to deal with the whole alien invasion thing alone.
