Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
The best Ubisoft release in years — Lost Crown nails 2.5D metroidvania flow with Hollow-Knight comparisons, but Ubisoft canceled the sequel after sales disappointed.
- Updated 601h ago
Black Myth: Wukong
Killer boss combat with Journey-to-the-West mythology — Wukong's lategame fights rival Orphan of Kos, but Chapter 2 onward demands real Sekiro-level patience.
- Updated 601h ago
Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree
Best-in-class single-player DLC if you finished base Elden Ring — Land of Shadow rivals a full game, and patch 1.14 tamed Consort Radahn's combos.
- Updated 601h ago
Balatro
Definitive deck-building poker roguelike that holds up past 100 hours, with free Friends of Jimbo updates adding new collab card packs.
- Updated 601h ago
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl
Finally fixed since launch — patches 1.5 through 1.8 restored A-Life and tamed the worst stutters that wrecked the November 2024 reception.

HELLDIVERS 2
Still the best chaotic 4-player co-op shooter on PC despite the playerbase falling from 458k peak to 30k after Arrowhead's balance churn.

Cronos: The New Dawn
Bloober's strongest original IP yet — Cronos pairs 1980s Krakow with post-apocalyptic dread and the kind of sound design that earned them Silent Hill 2.
- Updated 631h ago
Hades II
Supergiant's hardest swing in years — Hades II isn't a remix, it's a deeper, weirder game that still respects the original's perfect run-based loop.
- Updated 631h ago
Hollow Knight: Silksong
Six years late and worth the wait — Silksong is faster, meaner, and bigger than Hollow Knight, even if its early-game wall is taller than its predecessor's.
