A niche game, for scifi fans. The Star Legation is a very well written visual novel with interesting characters and a nicely constructed & described world. So if you are into scifi, I highly recommend to give this game a chance. Fingers crossed for further titles in this series!

Anoxia Station is a really unique game since it combines horror, scifi, simulation and even puzzle elements. I also enjoy the art style a lot of this game. Really amazing what a programmer and a designer can create together :-)
I've recorded also some gameplay for my YouTube channel, feel free to check it out on Ben's Gaming Lab - https://youtu.be/h1MbXsAc2Dc?si=rM1dgOB3cJmU-2TP

I'm having a fun time with Stratogun so far!

If you enjoy games like Super Stardust and Geometry Wars, then this should be the right game for you too!
I've recorded some gameplay also for my YouTube channel, you can find it on Ben's Gaming Lab.

If you like Souls-like games and cats, you will love Kristala.

Combat feels great, you get some elements inspired by the Assassin's Creed series, such as moving on the roof of houses to sneak upon your enemies and take them down in good old stealth fashion. Performance of the game can still be improved, but with an RTX 4060 Laptop GPU it's working fine for me even in High settings (4K resolution). The game is still in Early Access, so expect many cool updates, new story chapters and performance improvements still coming.

Relic Odyssey has been a pleasant surprise to me!

I hadn't heard anything about the game until a few weeks ago when I saw a post on X around it. I had the chance now to play the Early Access version and had a lot of fun with it - actually, I also recorded a video on it for my YouTube channel (@bekobcn).

Pros:
- Clunky, the robot, is an awesome character that accompanies you through the game
- The voice acting and character animations in the game are very good for an indie title
- Story is interesting
- Mix of different gameplay elements works nicely (FPS, exploration, crafting)
- Nice graphics (with moderate system requirements)

Cons:
- The gun sounds could be better
- Sarah keeps talking into the wrong direction when you move after starting the conversation

So far - a lot of fun!
