Aloof
Aloof has a lovely unique atmosphere and simple to pick up gameplay but with insane depth. And I think I only started scratching the surface. It also has many multiplayer modes! Start for the vibe and stay for the combo’s.

Very cool little game! Has a variety of content and gameplay, to play with your family and friends. Also, the team mode is very cool. What I really like is the way you can set your objectives: it’s free for all. You can try gather the best loot, try to survive, try to sabotage other players, try to kill them and steel their loot, try to gather the special loot only, try to have the best hat, etc., it’s very open-ended.
Watch out for hot-heads, might pick up some heat from the other players :) Better served chilly.

A Year Of Rain
As a Warcraft/Starcraft and Command & Conquer Kid, I was positively surprised to hear there’s someone taking a stab at a new RTS.
It’s heartwarmingly reminiscent of those games. Yeah, let me go grab my fucking Pulitzer, I bet there is a category for stating the obvious. Of course most RTS games are akin to the merciless RTS Emperor sitting on the throne made out of the bones of anyone who dares step into their domain.
Reading it was Daedalic running straight into that chainsaw, I was prepared for another mixed bag.

A Year of Rain
A new, unique RTS that had potential, but due to lack of publisher faith, was crippled at launch and abandoned soon after
So… This game is pretty good. It’s pretty much like a Warcraft 3 spiritual successor. Better than WC3 Reforged in a lot of ways.
As much as I want to love this game however I can’t pretend I’m not disappointed. The game was released unfinished, and abandoned very quickly. I don’t think Daedalic had any faith in it, they released it before it was ready and didn’t even give it a chance to build momentum and customer faith. They were hoping for a big launch with their unfinished early access game, didn’t get it, and abandoned the game rather than wait. As a game dev I understand the circumstance, but you can’t expect an EA title to sell like a finished one. It does come with a beefy campaign, that can be played solo or coop. It has full on voice acting, in game cutscenes, etc. Plus skirmish mode, and of course Online mode. So the content is there, it was mostly finished even, but as expected needed work, which is the whole point of early access. Pathfinding can be pretty bad sometimes, which REALLY hurts the play experience in an RTS. Other than that however the game-play is pretty polished and AYOR really gives WC3 reforged a run for it’s money IMO. I do hate the Coop AI, because I prefer to play solo and I have always hated Coop RTS campaigns with AI allies (like Red Alert 3) but still the game has SO MUCH potential it makes me depressed. I’m just disappointed that Daedalic seemingly launched this game to try and make back as much of their money as possible without ever really planning to support it, they basically lied about it, but in an underhanded way so they could shrug off blame.

Office Strike War - Multiplayer Battle Royale
This game is great! You can get to kick your office coleagues' asses and not get sued for that :)))
Jokes aside, the gameplay is dynamic, and the leveling up scheme makes you feel edgy, looking for hp and xp. Great idea! Enough of the AAA games crap, this is where gold lies. Can’t wait for it to get popular!

Airlock Arena
Become the ultimate cargo smuggler
Welcome to the thrilling and dangerous occupation of galactic cargo smuggling. In Airlock Arena, you are responsible for procuring, protecting, transporting, and ultimately delivering precious cargo to the far reaches of space. Avoid the Authorities, look for opportunities, and ultimately make a profit while bringing much needed supplies to colonies cut off by the ravages of galactic civil war. The chance to make a fortune is real, but the odds of dying are even higher. This is no game for the weak.
Game Features
-
Highly strategic 2-D action “rogue-like-like” gameplay on spaceships and planets for endless hours of replayability.
-
Simulated vacuum physics! Smugglers quickly learn that air can be their best friend or their worst enemy.
-
Randomly generated destructible/repairable ships. Each playthrough requires different strategies to accommodate different ship layouts.
-
Tons of random event combinations to challenge your skills and decision-making abilities while under pressure.
-
Work together to restart broken ship systems such as engines, blast doors, and artificial gravity generators, when they inevitably fail.
-
Single player and Cooperative contracts both locally and online, so you can play together on the couch, or across the net. Die alone, or die alongside your friends in a universe full of unknown terrors.
-
Unique items, including the blaster, repair gun, grapple beam, and jet pack to help deal with the dangers of space in whatever way you see fit.
-
Financial decision making. Do you use those credits to help make the mission more forgiving, or hold on to them to go for a high score?
-
Unexpected cargo. Space is full of all kinds of trash and treasures. Sometimes the best cargo is what you find along the way! Take a perilous spacewalk and see if you can’t reel some of it in!
-
Biomatter absorbing respawn platforms. Get the lifeless corpse of one of your friends back to a respawn platform, and see them spring back to life, ready to die once more!

Increasingly difficult contracts to keep even skilled players on their toes. You’ll be yelling at Airlock Arena for hours to come.

Competitive deathmatch and capture the cargo modes to test your mastery of the game mechanics against your friends.
-
A super-secret ending that only the most observant players will find! Don’t tell anyone… it’s a secret!
Star Drift Evolution
Before you start reading the great wall of text: there is a FREE Demo of the game that you can download to see if you can run it (or if you just like it or not). I’ve got a friend who’s got a laptop with integrated graphics, and he was able to run this around 30-40 fps. Now, onto important stuff.
First off, here are the racing games I’ve played before Star Drift Evolution:
-Dirt 4 and Dirt 2.0
-WRC 7 and 8
-Forza Horizon 5 and Motorsport 6
-Distance
-Assetto Corsa and Competizione
-Project Cars 1 and 2

Simply the best of top down racers.
-
Awesome driving and drifting feeling.
-
Skill based despite its cute looks.
-
Many cars. Brilliant 10 point system distributed between topspeed, acceleration, grip and downforce. There are no best car, just best suited for different tracks (except for the Firetruck and other goofy vehicles).
*Lots of varying tracks. Short, long, bumpy, tarmac, sand, ice, you name it. I personally like the short bumpy circuit tracks best.
Fun career mode, that keeps you coming back trying to improve your laptime.

Zero-G
I have played a lot of good games this year, but I can honestly say that Zero-G is the best of them. If you like Rocket League and NHL, you will love this game. Looking forward to play coop !

Very fun. Would love some more options outside of the story mode (like a carreer mode or manager mode or custom competition mode). The gameplay is very solid.

Sacrifice Your Friends
Basically, this is the mechanics of overcooked mixed with the gameplay ideas of Gang Beasts. It super fun to dash around use and throw the weapons, some weapons are a little more useful than others, but they are all counterable. It controls well. A bunch of cool little stuff to unlock, like hats and characters, a bunch of different powerful gods to play, all with different gameplay styles. A whole bunch of beautifully designed maps/artwork, and a whole bunch of other stuff to explore. A great and simple versus game that is definitely worth picking up.

This is an amazingly fun item-arena brawler. The closest games I would compare it to are the Bomberman series and Killer Queen Black.
Your character avatar has no impact on your move set, which consists of punching, grabbing/activating an item, and throwing an item. Your associated Ancient One cult (Cthulhu, Dagon, and Nyarlathotep right now) does have a slightly altered move set, which are fitting for the time-limited avatar transformations (similar to a Smash Bros. Smash Ball). The game moves at such a frantic, hilariously fast and fun pace that it doesn’t need more than this.
