Stellar Blade
Very impressive game from a studio that has only made mobile gacha games. Stellar Blade caught my eye immediately upon the reveal trailer, and not for the reasons that you're thinking. As a huge fan of character action games, and a fan of soulslikes, this game stuck out immediately. Stellar Blade is a Nier: Automata inspired character action game with a light splash of soulslike combat, and it delivers on all of these.
The combat is fantastic, its tight and responsive, and challenging in many parts, especially near the end. I wouldn't say the game really does anything new with it's combat, but it is stands tall when compared to it's peers.
The open world aspect of the game was actually a surprise to me, and I think this game does it well. Instead of doing a massive and empty sprawling wasteland, this game focuses itself by having two smaller and densely packed areas. The game has a ton of collectibles that actually feel worthwhile to find, unlike many games.
The story was pretty decent, nothing super groundbreaking but interesting enough to keep me invested.
The side content was serviceable, and thankfully the game didn't overload itself too much with side quests.
The music is absolutely fantastic, but that is to be expected as it is made by the same people who made the music for Nier.
Overall great time, exited for the sequel.

Cavern of Dreams
Short and sweet little throwback to the N64 classics. This game took less than 5 hours to 100%, but it was a great time throughout. I would say it is most similar to Banjo Kazooie, although it does some very creative and unique things.

Sea of Stars
As someone who’s a big fan of “The Messenger” when I heard that this game was made by the same dev, AND is directly connected to The Messenger, I instantly scooped it up, and boy am I glad I did.
The story and writing in this game is solid, it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s endearing and serviceable.
This game is absolutely gorgeous, some of the greatest pixel art work in a long long time. Every area is unique, colorful and diverse. The music is also fantastic to boot.
The world on a gameplay level is pretty good, lots of rewarding stuff to find throughout, and it even has some nice dungeons with permanent overworld utility upgrades.
The biggest plus of this game is the gameplay. Sea of Stars has one of the best combat systems in a turn based RPG, period. It’s like Mario and Luigi on steroids. The lock system and the way the different abilities for the six characters interact with the lock system makes fights engaging and strategy heavy.
Now I’m just exited for the next game this dev puts out.
