Sometimes it really feels like good games come in waves. There's another wave of three today:

First up, something that I've heard loads and loads about recently: Dead Cells. Pixel Graphics, Metroidvania, Souls-like. Honestly, until I play it, I suppose these genre names will have to do for the description. It's also still in Early Access, but already very popular and with an Overwhelmingly Positive rating, so I think it's going to be alright.
Next is what looks like a more story-based adventure game. The name's Rakuen, and it looks like it's made in some form of RPG maker engine, but I'm not sure. I can't quite grasp what the game is about by just looking at the (honestly rather pretty) pictures, but it's possibly a mild feels trip.
And finally something that I previously rejected, but since I haven't actually tried it, and it looks interesting this time around... (I'm guessing it just came out of Early Access.) ...I added Block'hood to my list. It's like a building game where you make a giant tower that really shouldn't be able to stand up and looks incredibly impractical. I hope there's an overarching game mechanic to it all and it's not just about designing weird towers.
