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.

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.

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.
