ChromaGun 2: Dye Hard

Smart puzzles, a decent sense of humor, and some occasional surprises make this a strong sequel for the original

Hyperspaced

While not without some irritating flaws that exhibit themselves at times, if you’re looking for a co-op challenge this is a solid roguelike take that’s worth a look

X-Out: Resurfaced

A mix of getting to customize your own ship, and some pretty stiff old-school challenges, make Resurfaced worth a look for shooting fans

Arco

A surprisingly engaging low-res mix of storytelling, strategy, and adventure

Even not really knowing or caring about the Warhammer 4k universe, there’s no question that this visceral retro RPS is a lot of fun

As twin-stick zombie shooting roguelikes go, this manages to be pretty good, with a variety of missions and customizations that work well, and a challenge once it gets rolling

Turbo Overkill
