Funguys Swarm: the survivors-like that spent a year listening to its players, and it shows
Forest weirdos against the Fire King's flaming minions. Nine reviews in ten are positive, and for once it is not undeserved.

Lorne: the horde arrives in ten minutes and your rampart is not finished, which sums the game up rather well
Explore for materials, come back to build, hold the wave, start again. A countdown that begins the moment you launch the run.

Polylithic: six years of development to lead a tribe from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic, and a 1.0 with a lot riding on it
A prehistoric survival game where humanity is not yet on top. The idea is superb, early access was rough, and it all comes down to today.

A western survival game that plants its settlement on the edge of collapse, with reactive factions and sandstorms that genuinely blind you.

Combolands: a city builder you finish in thirty minutes, and that is exactly what was needed

Ultrapool: we made a deckbuilder out of everything except pool, and it turns out that was a very good idea

Wordless Forest: he went alone to film in the frozen woods, no crew and no signal, and made a game out of it
A survival thriller shot entirely in live action, without a single line of dialogue, four endings. Two and a half years of solitary work.
