Lunark

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A cinematic 2D platformer in the spirit of classics like Another World and Flashback, with fluid rotoscope-style animation and a sci-fi tale spanning alien ruins and futuristic cities.

DeadCore

Challenging difficulty

DeadCore is a fast first-person platformer with guns, in which you climb a massive, fog-shrouded tower. Precise jumping, timing and speedrun appeal take center stage, wrapped in a dreamlike sci-fi atmosphere.

Blackthorne

Challenging difficulty

A grim cinematic platformer in the vein of Prince of Persia: as Kyle Blackthorne you climb, take cover and shotgun your way through mines and fortresses on the planet Tuul. Precise timing, cover-based gunfights and light puzzles define its unforgiving pace.

Half-Life: Source

Shooting and gunplay

The Source engine version of the shooter classic: as scientist Gordon Freeman you fight through aliens and soldiers after an experiment goes wrong at Black Mesa. Updated lighting, water and physics refresh the look, but it remains the tightly scripted, linear original.

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus

Challenging difficulty

A quirky puzzle-platformer where Abe sneaks, possesses enemies and uses GameSpeak to rescue enslaved Mudokons. Dark humor and an odd industrial dystopia meet unforgiving, trial-and-error puzzles.

Black Mesa

Shooting and gunplay

A loving fan-made remake of the original Half-Life: as Gordon Freeman you fight through the disaster at the Black Mesa research facility, with rebuilt levels, new voice acting and music. Classic first-person shooter action with alien fights, physics puzzles and the extended Xen finale.

The Way

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A pixel-art sci-fi platformer in the vein of Another World and Flashback: you travel to an alien planet seeking a way to bring a loved one back to life. Puzzles, platforming and exploration form the core.

Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty

Dark, serious atmosphere

A remake of the classic Abe's Oddysee in which you play Abe, an enslaved Mudokon sneaking and puzzling through a sinister meat factory, rescuing fellow workers via the GameSpeak system. Dark humor and a quirky world define the precise 2.5D platforming.

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter

Shooting and gunplay

As bounty hunter Jango Fett, you track down targets across the Star Wars galaxy in this third-person action game set before Attack of the Clones. Jetpack, dual blasters and gadgets drive the linear, mission-based levels.
