What stands out

The week leans heavily toward PC. Every game listed here is on Steam for PC, and a handful also come to Mac or Linux. Early Access is common too: GRAVHOUNDS, ArcheAge Chronicles, Loftia and several others carry the Early Access tag.

If you want a recognizable name, look at Brotato: Primal Dread and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered. For something quieter, Cozy Game Restoration, Clean Start and Mycelarium all go for a relaxed pace. And if you prefer a role-playing game with a tactical bent, Underkeep and Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor both use turn-based combat.
