Dead Cells Preview
Stop me if you’ve heard this before — a 2D platformer borrowing from Metroid and Castlevania which also has roguelike elements just hit Steam Early Access. This time, though, the game already feels finished, and has been nearly impossible to put down for the past week. Dead Cells manages to go beyond genre pastiche and freshens up one of the most crowded spaces in gaming. It’s well worth checking out even in its “unfinished” state.

We Happy Few Preview
Ever since the closing moments of BioShock: Infinite‘s gripping DLC, fans have been clamoring for more experiences in a similarly uncomfortable, doom-laden vein.

Instead, We Happy Few is a much less visceral, but no less intense adventure — one that should gain even more hype as development continues.

WTF I haven’t seen this much blue since CNN projected the 2016 Presidential Election.
