Golf Club: Wasteland
This is no ordinary golfing game: it’s a surrealist post-apocalyptic golfing game.
You walk and jetpack your way around the remainders of life on earth as you play ball.
To be released on September 3 by the publisher Demagog Studio on Steam.
The story of Earth’s last hurrah is told from multiple points of view, building as the game progresses.
The Game has 3 different modes, from casual to expert.
The art style has a dream-like vibe, with the haziness and destruction of the background fitting perfectly with the depopulated planet that used to be our own
The Rewinder
Launching this fall on Steam is The Rewinder. Currently, a free Demo is available on Steam! This Game is based on Chinese folklore.
The colors are subdued, and the pastel palette focuses on more neutral colors. The backgrounds, even done in a pixel-art style, stay close to the art style seen in traditional paintings.
The forms of the characters are distinct, and the volume conveyed through the 2D art is nothing short of impressive.
The Sounds effects are excellent, and when the full thing is released, I hope that the story and gameplay are as elegant.
Larger than Light
Larger than Light‘s gameplay takes full advantage of the medium its made for, with a playful style that’s a feat for the eyes.
The gentle pastels and harsh shadows don’t just look good: they’re used for gameplay! You maneuver Characters that represent both Shadow and Light source to traverse this puzzle-platformer.
You help the main characters Skia and Lux overcome their differences and bond as siblings as you adventure, and listen to their conversations as you go along. This game not only looks good, but also sounds good, with fully-voiced dialogue!
This game can also be found on steam, for the more than reasonable price of $4.99!

Dies Mortis
This is a game made by architecture students. I see it more of an art piece, for those times when people say that video games are an art- which this game really proves.
The Stages of death mark the stages seen in the game, rendered lovingly by first-time creators, by a team of 3 students from National Superior School of Architecture of Versailles. It’s a variation on 3-D platformers with stunning lighting an easy-to learn gameplay.
Even if the entire game runs for a mere hour, I believe that it will be an hour well spent.

Two Strikes
Two strikes is a samurai-based fighting game, and technically a sequel game to the pixel-style One Strike!
This sequel uses masterfully done Black-and-White sprites in full-res on colorful, elegant backgrounds as parts of its showcase. There are currently 6 options for fighters, and it’s set to be released on the 31st of May on Steam.
Time to get Hackin’!

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator
With an art style taken straight out of middle-aged engravings, this game is a fun twist on the recipe-style order games that litter both the mobile market and early 2000’s PC games.
In it you can create your own recipes, help the town, and interact with the customers going through your shop.
The game offers customization of your shop and an art style that immerses you entirely in your role as town alchemist.
The demo is free to play on Steam
Rail Route: The Train Dispatcher Simulator Game
Early Access on June 23
Hypnotizing with it’s elegant minimalism, the spray of numbers and times across the screen a soothing balm to the organized mind. It’s the base form of a puzzle game, meant to challenge you and engage you, driving you to do better than yourself, to improve times, and techniques, and flourish in one of the most classic forms of transportation: the Train on the Rail Road.
The Game engages with that base videogame urge to watch numbers go up, to streamline your new ability to the best of your power.
Upgrade your trains and railways, solve the puzzles given, and even build your own Railways. Edit and Automate your maps to create the smoothest ride anyone’s ever seen in Rail Route: Train Dispatcher Simulator.
GRIS
“Gris is a hopeful young girl lost in her own world, dealing with a painful experience in her life. Her journey through sorrow is manifested in her dress, which grants new abilities to better navigate her faded reality.” (from the Steam Page)
Art, Music, and its deeply emotional storyline are GRIS’s selling points! The game is Simple to play, and also Short (around 4 hours total playtime). It has especially Ethereal artwork for a combined puzzle-platformer, with Tight color palettes that expand as the game continues.
Available on PC, Appstore, Switch, it has 38:1 positive to Negative reviews on Steam, which I think is pretty impressive.
