Chop Chop Inc.: another gathering game, but this one has the good sense to end up as a production line
Fell trees, cut planks, build absurd furniture and automate the lot. Dumb and effective, for the price of two coffees.

Expeditions Samurai: you think you are getting Commandos, you are actually getting Baldur's Gate 3 in a kimono, and that is no disappointment
Top-down view, stealth, Japan in 1600. The lineage is not the one you think, and Early Access brings its own caveats.

Frozen Ship: gorgeous, a little frightening, and far more Frostpunk than Firewatch
A ship-city crosses a frozen Earth with twenty people aboard. Sublime and anxious-making, but Early Access shows.

Grain Rot: dying does not take you out of the run, and that single idea is what makes this co-op so funny
You play a Spark possessing wooden vessels. When yours breaks, you stay in the run and hunt for a new host. Clever.

Rogue Eclipse: one solo developer delivers the space combat others have been promising for fourteen years
Arcade space combat, sharp and legible, from a single British developer funded by the label set up by the creators of Among Us.

Together in Forgotten Lands: the co-op that will have you waiting ten minutes in front of a jump, and that is exactly what was missing
Two players required, no solo, no AI. Puzzles of light, rhythm and platforming inside a cave that keeps changing its rules.

Approximately Up: build a rocket with four people, launch, explode, then accuse each other of mounting the thruster backwards
A modular ship made of whatever bolts together, 15 planets and up to 4 players. The chaos is excellent, provided you have the friends to go with it.

CS Manager: the mechanics promise sleepless nights, the game is not yet ready to deserve them
140 teams, 8 maps, cohesion that depends on the languages your players speak. The ideas are there, the polish much less so.

IRON NEST: the dieselpunk of Iron Harvest, except here you command nothing at all, you are sitting inside the turret
The dieselpunk we loved in Iron Harvest, seen through the sighting hole. Two developers, one monstrous gun and a heavy dose of guilt.
