1
Adventures of a Cat in Space
It's a universally known fact that cats make the world a better place, but what happens when they're accidentally sent to the farthest reaches of the galaxy with seemingly no way back? Adventures of a Cat in Space is exactly as it says on the tin - you'll guide an adorable furry feline to find its way back to Earth across a family-friendly point-and-click adventure, and with cosy unlockable songs to boot.
The gameplay itself doesn't reinvent the wheel here - you'll drag and drop items in your inventory and point and click as you'd expect - but it's the original soundtrack and hand-drawn animation that make it shine. That, of course, and the fact that you're on a mission to help a lost cat find its way back home across the galaxy - and there's no nobler quest than that.

Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers
Bigger, badder, and with more claws and teeth than anyone can count, Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers will have you fighting for survival across a 4X strategy adventure with RPG elements. As you venture out into uncharted territory in the Siren Isles, you'll come face-to-face with horrific titans like Skullcrawlers, the Mother Longlegs, and the titular monsters themselves - Godzilla and Kong.
The 3D map is equally colossal with its varied biomes and superspecies, where you'll not only battle with the giants themselves but also with fellow survivors and rival Chasers. Thankfully, you've got the power of Monarch's tech by your side to help you build your base - if you can manage to survive the untamed lands, that is.

The Haunted Carnival
Carnivals always have an eerie air about them, no thanks to a particularly sharp-toothed clown with a penchant for luring kids to their deaths underneath gaping storm drains. While carnivals are supposed to be a magical wonderland filled with laughter and squeals, there's a different kind of screaming that can be heard when you lock the whole place down and turn it into an escape room experience - and if that's something that gets you going, the aptly titled Haunted Carnival should be right up your alley.
There are five rooms to escape from, each one filled with mysteries to solve and puzzles to clear, with hidden objects you'll need to find to escape certain death. Brain-teasers get progressively more difficult as you go along, with crunchy low-poly visuals that add to the omnipresent feeling of dread throughout the game.
4
Wall World
Time to hop into your giant robo-spider and start mining in Wall World, a charming pixel-art roguelite with tower defence elements. As you mine through procedurally generated levels, you'll also have to face a variety of monsters getting in the way of your precious resources. Thankfully, you can upgrade your gear to make each new excavation more productive than the last.
There's also the intriguing secrets of "the others" to discover here - where do these nightmarish creatures come from, and will you ever find the fabled "edge" of the Wall?

Tales of Wind: Radiant Rebirth
Even with all the different twists developers have added to MMOs over the years, nothing beats the nostalgic feel of a classic, and Tales of Wind: Radiant Rebirth promises to bring back that feeling and more. Featuring lovely visuals in 60 FPS, the MMORPG lets you explore the land of Laplace with customised outfits across 7 core classes, along with a revamped UI that makes adventuring throughout the dungeons and fields easy and breezy.
You can also collect pets and mounts to help you on your journey. Then, team up with your best buds for some co-op missions and epic guild battles - and who knows? You might even chance upon the love of your life online.
