House of Necrosis is a roguelike Mystery Dungeon game that takes heavy inspiration from the original Resident Evil games on PlayStation, and it executes the concept fantastically. You play as a woman who has mysteriously found herself stuck inside a mansion, and has to escape by treversing through various areas of the property. Inventory management, planning and stopping to think through your next move(s) are key in this game, especially as the game progresses, as one wrong move can result in a major set-back. You may think carrying your best items on you at all times will make you unstoppable, and maybe they will, but when you die, your items are gone for good, so you must be considerate with what you take with you.
DEVELOPER: Arsi "Hakita" Patala

Ultrakill (currently in early access) is a singleplayer lightning-fast-paced first-person shooter inspired by classic first-person shooters such as Doom and Quake (I hate the term "Boomer Shooter" because it sounds insulting to the obviously superior FPS genre), where you play as a war-purposed robot fighting its way through the nine layers of Hell. While Ultrakill's gameplay is catered towards those with nanosecond-reaction times, it manages to be enjoyable even if you're not that good.
Each layer of Ultrakill, minus the initial tutorial layer, is based on the seven nine deadly sins, with enemies and visual styles centered around each sin. No two levels are the same... minus those found in the tutorial layer — with each level standing out in their own unique way, especially within the later layers. The game's long development cycle; 2019 to present day, has worked in its favour in regards to the levels, as Ultrakill's development team have only gotten better at designing each level as the years march on.
Ultrakill's music, composed by the game's actual creator, a la Toby Fox with Undertale, is also phenominal, but you probably already knew that — Just listen to the select bangers below:
