Another student-made game that's completely free. This one is also compatible with Mac. Not much in the way of features, but I figure many of you would love the premise.

This is a completely free game made by students. For a free game, the graphics are good. Be sure to play this with a gamepad since this is what the devs recommend. Quite short, but again, it's free.

This is the sequel to Street Cleaner: The Video Game (there is not Street Cleaner 2), and the original game got great reviews. So far, the reviews have been just as positive.

This has 16-bit style graphics and a killer soundtrack. Also, there's full gamepad support for both Xbox and DualShock controllers.

The introductory price is C$18.71.

This entire game was made by Nintendo vets. The description mentions Takaya Imamura, but the music was made by Shinobu Amayake who did the music for Stunt Racer FX and Wario's Woods.

Nice art style here, and the music lives up to the pedigree. Full gamepad support. So far, the reviews are mostly positive.

The introductory offer is C$19.50.

A card-based RPG with 16-bit style graphics. Not much in the way of features but it has mostly positive reviews.

I'm on the fence on this one. It seems the entire appeal seems to be the girls. Which is fine, I like girls. But I hope that it has more to offer.

That said, it has an introductory offer of C$13.59.

 

A village is invaded by succubi each night. On a quest to defeat them, you enter the Succubus Forest, which is home not only to succubi, but many monster girls that will attack you without mercy. You must fend them off and reach the heart of the forest.

 

I bought this back in December. It took me a couple months because the curse of owning so many games as that I want to play all of them, so I rarely finish any of them. But this year, I've resolved to finally beat more games.

And Gris was quite an experience! It's a 2D metroidvania with puzzle platforming elements. But I also feel that's selling it short.

I felt like I was inhabiting a hand-drawn animated film. This was cinematic in the best way possible. This was a tour-de-force in terms of visuals and sound. It's certainly not anything that will break your GPU, but in terms of pure art, this was breath-taking.

And it was an emotional journey too. At its core, this is game is about grief and loss. This one is a tearjerker.

I think what makes this game exceptional is how you interact with colour. As the game starts, everything is stark and minimalistic. But as things go on, the palette opens up and the world comes alive.

This isn't a long game. I completed it in a little over four hours. But it makes such an impact over those four hours.

Definitely, I recommend this. I played this on my Steam Deck, and it made for an excellent experience as I played this in several environments on the go. Phenomenal. One of the best games ever made.

This one has a 98% positive rating based on 125 reviews, so I have high hopes! Desecrators is a 6DOF FPS, similar to Descent. And I'm buzzing about that because not many games of that genre are made nowadays.

Full gamepad support online co-op. Current introductory price of C$16.56.

I really hope this is as good as everyone says.

 

Desecrators is a retro FPS inspired by '90s six-degrees-of-freedom shooters. Plunder your way through the galaxy to destructive weapons and technology powerful enough to take on the ultimate heist: The legendary vaults of the Galactic Treasury.
