Don't get fooled by the game's chill music and vibrant art style, as it's an insanely intense roguelike that will test your awareness and aim. With that said, it's an enjoyable romp for those who love feeling like an overpowered entity just blasting through wave after wave of increasingly powerful enemies.
Part of Vampire Survivors' appeal is the very apparent rise from zero to hero as you trudge through your first few runs and gradually build up your collection of usable characters and weapons.
Marvel's Midnight Suns blends the masterfully-done tactical gameplay expected from a Firaxis title with some touching social aspects reminiscent of your typical RPG.
At first glance, you'd be justified in thinking that it'd be another one of those janky survival games that stay in early access forever, but it already feels more complete/polished than some popular titles in the genre.
I don't know about you guys, but I absolutely love using melee weapons in FPS games. Getting up close and personal to strike down your foes just feels so satisfying, especially when the combat system goes beyond just mindlessly spamming the left mouse button.
With Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord coming out very soon (depending on when you're reading this), I've been itching for an alternative to play while waiting for it to be fully released. Enter Conqueror's Blade, an MMORPG/RTS with instanced battles and scheduled open-world wars.
If you're a busy bee like me, you probably have a huge backlog of games that you haven't touched or found the time to finish. Luckily, a lot of indie games on the market are built to be fun, fast-paced romps that you can pick up for an hour or so and still make significant progress, much like old school FPS games, such as Quake, DOOM, and Wolfenstein 3D.
