Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ November 22Developers:‌ Gamera InteractiveAfter a long stint in Early Access this isometric action RPG is now feature complete. Be warned, though: this isn’t an ARPG in the style of Diablo or Path of Exile. Instead, Gamera Interactive has taken inspiration from the much-more deliberate Dark Souls mould. It’s set in a massive open world with hundreds of quests, more than 500 NPCs, and 12 companions. It’s an impressive looking game, with full local cooperative support for up to three players tonnes of roleplaying potential.

Here’s a massive grand RTS focused on modern warfare. You’re basically working to dominate the whole world, so you’ll be stockpiling powerful weapons, researching ways to make ever more powerful weapons, and then occasionally using these weapons to decimate opposing militaries. There are a range of different technological eras ranging from early Cold War through to near-future, and four game modes to choose from including a campaign. This is definitely one for the hardcore RTS enthusiast: anyone less than obsessed with the genre may find it daunting.

Steam‌ ‌page‌‌Release:‌ November 21Developer:‌ Robust Games

Loco Motive is a retro-styled whodunit set on a very fancy 1930s steam engine. After a fatal stabbing occurs on this train, three playable characters have to figure out who the killer is, which naturally requires talking to all the rich weirdos onboard. Despite the whole murder thing this is a lighthearted comedy, with rich and inviting pixel art and puzzles that won’t drive you bonkers.
