When it was announced that the geniuses behind FAR: Lone Sails were releasing a companion title, the Unity community was eager to see the announcement trailer. It did not disappoint. Once again enjoy exploring the post-apocalyptic world introduced in Lone Sails, but this time by boat. The addition of underwater exploration and expansion in the color palette has many excited to set sail in March.

One of the best things about this series is getting to spotlight hidden gems. Dice Gambit is one of those. Take the turn-based tactical combat made popular by games like Fire Emblem but add the uncertainty of dice. Anything can happen in this Neo-Renaissance metropolis and you have to adapt to what you roll.

The 90s left the gaming community with a Carmen Sandiego-sized hole in its heart, but Chinatown Detective Agency is here to fill it. This point-and-click cyber noir adventure game explores Singapore 2032. Traverse the cyberpunk world to unravel a global conspiracy and solve the case.

OlliOlli World

With skateboarding making its comeback, the world has been hungry for a skate game that will bring back the Tony Hawk pro-skater days and OlliOlli World has more than delivered. Enter the world of Radlandia, a trippy universe governed by the skate gods, and flip and flow to Gnarvana. The switch to 3D and the evolution of its already complex trick system builds on the success of prior entries in the series. With its quirky cast of characters, crazy environments, and cheeky script, OlliOlli World feels like both a breath of fresh air and a love letter to the genre.

Here’s the pitch: Play as a gigantic tentacled beast and use your strength and size to assist humans with daily tasks. Intrigued? Same! This newly announced VR title from Firepunchd and Devolver Digital looks adorable and has grabbed a lot of attention with its octo-suckers.

Small fox. Big adventure. In Tunic, take on a world filled with confounding puzzles, ferocious monsters, and ancient secrets. This top-down, isometric action game inspired by Zelda is told in a largely indecipherable language. This decision from the developers invites players to co-create the story with their imagination.

If anyone denounces the awesomeness of Cult of the Lamb, they will be declared a false prophet and banished from Unity’s commune. Perform dark rituals, give sermons to gain new believers, and defeat rival religious leaders to become the one true cult. This creepy and deceptively cute roguelike is set to release in 2022 so get ready to build your flock.

How can Neon White be encapsulated? This frantically paced part dating sim, part card game, first-person shooter looks like it will take players on a wild ride. Wake up in Heaven with no memory but the sole purpose of killing demons. Piece together the past by interacting with other characters and making strategic card decisions for godlike powers. Prepare to ascend this year on the Switch and PC.
