Slay the Spire 2 launched in early access this March and immediately topped the Steam charts — and it earns every bit of that attention.
The original defined a genre, and the sequel builds on it with sharp new mechanics, characters, and card synergies that make each run feel genuinely fresh. You craft a deck from scratch, navigate a strange and relentless spire, and learn something new from every defeat. The roguelike loop here is as tight as it gets.
There is something wonderfully addictive about the “one more run” pull this game has. A session that was meant to last twenty minutes somehow turns into three hours, and you leave still thinking about the combinations you haven’t tried yet. 🃏
Are you a longtime Slay the Spire fan, or is this your first time climbing the spire — and which character do you reach for first?

Persona 5: The Phantom X is what happens when one of the most stylish RPGs ever made goes mobile — and somehow manages to pull it off with full confidence. 🎭
The story follows a brand-new protagonist navigating high school life in Tokyo, but the world, the mood, and that iconic red-and-black aesthetic are completely intact. You explore Palaces, awaken Personas, and build bonds with a fresh cast of Phantom Thieves — all while juggling the chaos of teenage life.
Available on iOS, Android, and PC via Steam, it launched globally in June 2025 and has been a hit with both longtime fans and newcomers. The turn-based combat feels sharp, the music is incredible, and the cutscenes are genuinely gorgeous.

Path of Exile Mobile takes one of the deepest action RPGs ever made and puts it right in your pocket — and it actually delivers.
For the uninitiated, Path of Exile is a dark, gothic RPG built around an insanely deep skill system, relentless monster slaying, and a loot loop that's genuinely hard to walk away from. The mobile version faithfully carries that same intensity — loot, build, survive — with touch controls that feel surprisingly natural.
What stands out most is how it refuses to dumb things down. The iconic passive skill tree, complex crafting, and seasonal content are all there. Available free on Android and iOS. ⚔️
For PoE veterans — how does the mobile version compare? And for newcomers, does this kind of deep loot-driven RPG speak to you?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the kind of game that sneaks up on you and refuses to let go. Made by a small French studio, it arrived earlier this year and hit harder than most big-budget releases. 🎨
The story is hauntingly beautiful — every year, a mysterious Paintress appears and paints a number on a monolith. Everyone that age simply disappears. This year, she painted 33. And so the expedition sets out to stop her, knowing they're already marked.
Combat is turn-based but alive — you parry, dodge, and time your attacks in real time. It feels like a love letter to classic JRPGs, reimagined with a freshness that's hard to put into words.
It's on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. If you've been putting this one off, do yourself a favour and just play it.
What pulled you in first — the story, the music, or watching someone else play and immediately needing it yourself?

Horror has a new name. Resident Evil Requiem arrived in February 2026, and it's been haunting players ever since — a bold new chapter that strips the franchise back to its roots while pushing its visuals and storytelling to new heights.
The game takes you through a tightly crafted nightmare, blending the survival horror tension of the classic titles with the cinematic flair of the modern entries. Resources are scarce, enemies are relentless, and every corner feels like a threat waiting to materialize. 🕯️
Available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam, and Nintendo Switch 2, Requiem has been praised for its atmosphere and pacing. It's the kind of game you play with the lights off and immediately regret — but can't stop playing.
Have you played Resident Evil Requiem yet — and did it deliver the scares you were hoping for?

Code Vein II is the anime soulslike sequel that fans of the original have been waiting for — and it landed on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S in January 2026 with a bang.
You're back in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the Lost — monstrous, bloodthirsty creatures that were once human. As a Revenant, you're powerful but cursed, relying on blood to survive. The combat is fast, stylish, and deeply satisfying, with a Companion system that brings an AI partner into every battle. 🩸
What really shines here is the Blood Code system — essentially your class, with hundreds of combinations to experiment with. The world is bigger, darker, and more intricate than the first game.
If you played the original Code Vein, have you jumped into the sequel yet — and what's your favourite build so far?

Where Winds Meet is the kind of open-world RPG that sneaks up on you. Set in ancient China, this free-to-play gem from NetEase is absolutely stunning — sweeping landscapes, flowing robes, and combat that actually feels weighty and satisfying.
You start as a wandering outsider with a mysterious past, gradually uncovering your identity through epic quests and intense battles. The world feels alive — NPCs go about their days, seasons shift, and there's always something new hiding around the next hill. 🌸

Fields of Mistria is the kind of cozy game that sneaks up on you.
At first glance it looks like another farming sim — and yes, you're planting crops and befriending townsfolk — but the world of Mistria has this hand-drawn charm that makes it feel genuinely alive. Every character has depth, every season brings something new to discover. 🌸
The pixel art is gorgeous, with animations so smooth they feel lovingly crafted. The farming loop is addictive without being overwhelming. You set your own pace, tell your own story.
It's on PC and if you love Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons, this one belongs on your wishlist. It's in Early Access and already feels more polished than many full releases.

Palworld is hitting version 1.0 this July — and it's still the game that made everyone simultaneously fall in love with cute creatures and question their own moral compass.
The premise sounds wholesome enough: explore an open world, catch Pals, build a base, and survive. But then you're setting up assembly lines staffed by your little companions, and somewhere along the way the game becomes something far more addictive than you expected. That strange tension is part of the charm.
Available on PC and Xbox, the 1.0 release brings the Deep North, new Pals, and a much more complete world to get lost in. 🌿
Are you more of a base-builder in Palworld, or do you spend most of your time exploring and hunting for rare Pals?

Arknights: Endfield is everything fans of the original Arknights dared to hope for — but bigger, bolder, and fully rendered in stunning 3D.
Set on the planet Talos-II, you lead the Endfield Industries team across a fractured world reclaiming territory and battling the ever-creeping Catastrophes. The strategy is deep, the combat is real-time and satisfying, and the worldbuilding is extraordinary. 🌌
It launched in early 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and mobile — making it easy to pick up wherever you are. The gacha is present but the game genuinely respects your time in a way that surprises you.

Pokémon Champions just dropped on iOS and Android on June 17, and the competitive Pokémon scene will never be the same. 🎮

Mina the Hollower is the kind of indie game that reminds you why pixel art never truly goes out of style.
From Yacht Club Games — the team behind Shovel Knight — this one follows Mina, a daring Hollower sent to a cursed island to rescue a trapped prince. You'll whip enemies, burrow underground to dodge danger, and unravel dark mysteries across a beautifully crafted world that feels like a gothic fairy tale come to life. 🦇
The gameplay is tight and responsive, with boss fights that demand you really pay attention. But it never feels punishing — there's a wonderful flow to combat once you get into the groove. The soundtrack is infectious too, the kind that lingers long after you put the controller down.
Available on PC and consoles, it's a love letter to classic action-adventure games wrapped in a brand-new story. 🎮

Nobody warned me how Balatro would completely rewire the way I think about card games.
At first glance, it looks like poker. But the moment you start layering jokers, unlocking multipliers, and discovering how certain combinations break the game wide open — you realise this is something else entirely. It's a deckbuilder wrapped in the skin of a card game, and the result is almost hypnotic.
Each run carries this beautiful tension: do you play it safe with a solid hand, or chase the wild combo that could either destroy you or send your score soaring into the millions?
Available on PC, consoles, and mobile — yes, mobile — and it's equally brilliant on all of them. 🃏

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is one of those games that's almost impossible to describe without making it sound weird — but in the most beautiful way possible.
You're back as Sam, carrying cargo across desolate, stunning landscapes while the world feels constantly on the edge of something profound. Kojima's vision here is even grander than the first game — the environments are breathtaking, the story goes places you won't see coming, and somehow it still feels deeply human. 🌊
Available on PC and PS5, it's a slow burn that rewards patience. Not every game asks you to just walk and feel — and yet here it works brilliantly.

DREDGE is one of those games you pick up on a quiet afternoon thinking you'll just try it for an hour — and then it's midnight.
On the surface, it's a fishing game. You captain a small wooden boat, cast your line into foggy waters, and sell your catch at the nearest dock. But something feels off from the very beginning. The locals speak in riddles, the waters hide things that shouldn't exist, and the longer you stay out after dark... the more the sea seems to stare back. 🎣
It's an indie gem from Black Salt Games that blends cozy resource management with genuine, slow-building dread — and it does it beautifully. Available on PC, consoles, and mobile, it's proof that a small team with a brilliant concept can leave a lasting mark.

Honkai: Star Rail is the kind of game that sneaks up on you — you download it thinking you'll give it an hour, and suddenly it's your entire evening.
A turn-based RPG from HoYoverse, it puts you aboard the Astral Express, a train that travels through star systems encountering civilisations on the edge of collapse. The story is surprisingly deep, the characters are wildly memorable, and the combat rewards strategy in the most satisfying ways. 🚂
Available on PC and mobile, Version 4.3 "The Lethe Below the Living" just dropped, bringing fresh story arcs and fan-favourite characters. It's free to play, though the gacha system will definitely test your patience — and your wallet.

There's something uniquely thrilling about diving into an alien ocean with no map and no guarantees. Subnautica 2 picks up where the legendary original left off — and then takes you somewhere even stranger.
You're dropped onto a brand-new alien world, completely submerged, with mysterious biomes to discover and terrifying leviathans lurking in the deep. The atmosphere is unmatched — part wonder, part dread, entirely addictive. And now you can bring up to three friends along in co-op. 🌊
Whether you're scanning bioluminescent creatures you've never seen before or desperately building your base before something enormous notices you — there's always a reason to keep diving deeper.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 arrived quietly in April 2025 and left the entire gaming world speechless. This French-made turn-based RPG weaves together art-nouveau visuals with real-time parry and dodge mechanics that make every single battle feel alive.
The story follows a group of painters sent on one final expedition — before the Paintress erases their age from existence forever. It's melancholic, breathtaking, and emotionally punchy in ways very few RPGs dare to be. 🎨
Available on PC and Xbox Game Pass, it's a rare gem that reminds you why you fell in love with the RPG genre in the first place. Sandfall Interactive's debut is nothing short of extraordinary.

Path of Exile 2 doesn't hold your hand. It drops you into a dark, punishing world and expects you to figure things out.
This is more than a sequel — it's a complete reimagining. New dodge mechanics, overhauled skill gem systems, and a campaign that's actually compelling. The world feels heavy with history: ruined empires, forgotten gods, and monsters that genuinely mean business. ⚔️
The real magic is in the build-crafting. You could spend hours theorycrafting the perfect character, or just throw something together and watch it collapse in act two. Both experiences are oddly satisfying.
Free to play on PC, with console versions in the works.
Are you the kind of player who plans every skill point — or do you just wing it and see what survives?
