Intertwined is an awesome platformer adventure game where you explore a visual and musical landscape.

The game is largely a parkour game where you need to use your climbing and jumping skills in order to progres. The level is gorgeously crafted with music that syncs with the tone of the game and colorful ambience- everything from trees, flowers, flora, fauna, and buildings. Climb and discover every secret of the dormant village you’ve stumbled upon. This game is mainly a tech demo of sorts, but offers a very enticing parkour through an awesome village.

The controls, colors, and level design is just so well done and flows amazingly well. Recommended if you like eye candy.

Alchemic Cutie is a cute (as the title implies) farming adventure RPG that’ll remind you of Harvest Moon and friends.

You run a farm and you need to tend to your plants, jellies, and make friends with the villagers in the area. You can also explore the many secrets of the island you inhabit called Wimba Island.

You’re a young jelly farmer who just happens to be a happy little village with many different and weird NPCs to interact with. You can explore, farm, discover, and look for new jellies to farm, breed, and raise. It combines Harvest Moon and Slime Rancher into one top-down pixel art RPG adventure!

Each jelly you farm has unique stats and traits with over 4,000 visual patterns. You can farm them all if you dare. If you’re not a farmer, take some time off and complete some quests, talk tot he NPCs, and compete with other jelly farmers in the village jelly competition. You can even make friends and develop relationships with other characters.

The game even has mod support for players to add their own villagers, quests, items, maps, and more.

If you’re into these types of gmaes, try out Alchemic Cutie!

Heaven’s Point is an awesome retro beat ’em up adventure game that’ll instantly remind you of games like Streets of Rage and River City Ransom!

If you’ve played either of these classics, you’ll know exactly what this game is all about. It’s a game where you need to use your fists to kill the gang who kidnapped your friend. It plays like a sidescroller and wail on random gang members to take them down once and for all!

There are even NPCs that are completely innocent that you can kill if you want in order to get some fast cash- well I think you kill them because they drown in a pool of their own blood. The majority of people in the game are innocent and you need to find the bad guys in order to progress in the game. They’re often back streets as cliche as it sounds. Shop, explore, and do whatever you want in this game. It’s like beat ’em ups without the rails.

You’ll have fun wandering the streets and exploring the lit city as there are plenty of things to look at, use, pick up, and interact with. The game even has a built-in cell phone where you can call people. You can even interact with various people to buy stuff like a few cold ones after a day out with some thugs!

Heaven’s Point is still early in its development, but you can play the first 20 minutes or so for the game. The artwork is colorful and old-school with that perfect animation that just screams retro. The music is ambient and reminds you of the arcade cabinets in the 80s. And the city is booming and has a ton of stuff to do. Try out the game for yourself and take down the street thugs!

Valheim is an awesome game where you explore a huge fantasy world immersed in Norse mythology and Viking culture.

The game has you starting off as a character in a small village. You’re then completely free to explore the procedurally-generated world with multiple biomes. The farther from the center you go, the more difficult the game becomes. You’ll find new enemies and monsters that become more dangerous, but at the same time, you’ll find newer materials that are rare which can be used to craft some gem weapons and sturdier armor. It’s like Minecraft in a Viking world.

You can explore, craft, hunt, and even build your stronghold and outposts anywhere you want in the world to mark your journey. The game even has some longships you can build which will allow you to sail the oceans!

Valheim is an RPG all about exploring. The game has a fully-featured combat system with block, doge, and a variety of weapons and combat styles. You can cut trees, mine for minerals, build bases, portals, outposts, craft armors, weapons, and hunt down powerful enemies. And the game even has online multiplayer, so the possibilities are endless. Though I didn’t test the client-server feature, I’d imagine it’d be pretty cool to explore with friends and establish a base together.

The game already has a ton of content for a demo and will keep you busy for hours. The graphics are very polished already and the game’s generated levels are awesome. The worlds are unique and different for every playthrough and I wasted hours just wandering int he pretty biomes. Valheim has a lot going for it. If you like RPGs, try it out.

The World Begins With You is an awesome and gorgeous-looking adventure game where you explore a forgotten ruin.

You wake up in prison but you have no idea why you’re there and what happened to you- like many other games. You’re soon set free and your only objective is to explore and find out the backstory of your history. The thing is, the world is very pretty to look at. It features some imposing architecture and combines ancient ruins with modern structures. It’s literally out of this world.

The game is a relatively simple and straightforward exploration game with some basic puzzles here and there. They’re easy and fast so they don’t distract from the overall experience too much. But the point of playing the game is to explore the environment and just be in awe at all the artwork. You’ll see scorching deserts to glittering caverns to huge ruins to grand buildings. If you’re an adventurer looking for an exfoliating indie game, try out The World Begins With You!

Crying Suns is an awesome roguelike space game with real-time combat in a huge procedurally-generated universe.

The game will instantly remind you of FTL. You play as a captain on a space fleet who’s been awakened by a robot called OMNI. You’re then supposed to sail your ship through space and solve a mysterious communication severance between your spaceship and the Galactic Empire. If you refuse to accept the mission, go for it. It’s funny to see what happens.

You then travel between different solar systems and fight other enemy ships in real-time strategy vehicular combat. Defeat them to progress and gain resources. As you get more stuff, you can upgrade your ship and manage your resources to be fully optimized. The game has a narrative going alongside the combat, so it never feels like you’re just grinding. The ships you command also is aligned on a hex-based grid instead of a huge single entity.

The space exploration is awesome with squadron-based fleet combat. The storyline is dramatic and spans multiple chapters. The resource management system is also pretty cool where Scrap is the currency of the game which is used to buy weapons, ships, and upgrades. Neo-N is fuel for your ship. And Commandos are used as cannon fodder and foot soldiers to get resources.

The game also has a huge map that provides you the layout for each star cluster to make it easy to navigate. You need to spend gas in order to investigate a cluster, so you need to choose wisely. When you choose a point, you’ll either get an encounter, a fight, or a planetary expedition where you can find some resources.

There are also over 300 events which can happen, such as multiple branching paths. You also get bosses, unit customization, upgrades, expeditions, and even heroes which have unique abilities. Every victory means you get some nice upgrades for your ship.

Crying Suns is currently playable as a demo. It sports roguelike strategic space fights with a mix of retro and modern pixel art. The game has a nice dose of space combat, exploration, and pausable fights. The backstory is what’ll keep you glued to the game though.

If you like it, you can support the devs on Kickstarter.

Infinite Dust is a sandbox RPG FPS that combines many elements of survival games into one epic space game.

You need to build, explore, craft, loot, scavenge, and defend over huge procedurally-generated planets that are completely user changeable. You start out alone like any other survival game and all you have is a crappy gun and a small stash of supplies. You’re free to do whatever you want- explore or build your base. The land is huge and filled with many different creatures and plants.

You’re an explorer of “The Fleet” and you need to explore and survive by exploiting resources found naturally on planets, asteroids, ruins, moons, and other wrecks. Building and designing stuff is only the beginning. You need to build larger and faster vessels to explore the planet and space over huge distances. The game features a huge catalog of items even in its current build that you can consume, craft, and build with. It’s a game to be reckoned with.

As you explore, you’ll encounter weak to powerful enemies which you can kill to loot their goods from their inventories. You’ll also come across abandoned bases, buildings, and bunkers that you need to investigate for supplies and resources. You can even break them apart to use their pieces for your own base. You even get a drill that lets you deform and terraform the terrain. It’s like Subnautica but on the surface.

Infinite Dust is gathering a lot of press all over the web so it just may be the next survival game. As it’s still early in development, there are a lot of things that are just being discovered by players. You can build anything from weapons, vehicles, and buildings at this point, and the possibilities seem endless. The game’s worlds are indeed a little empty at this point, but more stuff will obviously be added later on.

If you’re looking for the next alien survival game, try out Infinite Dust. It has a solid foundation for a new awesome game that just looks extremely promising even in its current build.

Ramble is a relaxing little exploration engine made with Unreal Engine.

The game has you exploring a beautiful world that looks like it was hand-painted. It’s a blend of watercolor and different tones of various colors. I don’t know art, but I can definitely say this game looks amazing.

There’s not much to do besides explore. That’s the core of the game. Just walk around and look at all the mesmerizing environments. You do have some objectives you can accomplish such as repairing structures or building stuff, which is kind of weird to have in an exploration game.

But the main point of it is to just wander around. The game is generated procedurally so the landscapes are endless. If all you want to do is explore and look at the environment, Ramble is a good game to try out.

There’s also some basic voiceover and narration. It’s a very dreamlike atmosphere with lots of artistic talent.

Try out Ramble using the link below and explore endlessly.

Woodsy is a horror first-person puzzle game where you explore some lost woods.

You start the game as a stranger locked outside your cabin in the woods. You have no keys to unlock your door, so you’re trapped outside. You need to go looking for the keys that you dropped somewhere in the forest. And that’s when things get spooky.

Woodsy is a short little horror adventure with nice retro pixel artwork. As you explore the scary forest, you’ll have to talk with the variety of monsters that live in it. It’s not really a jumpscare type of horror game, but rather learn about the tales of the monsters that inhabit the forest. I wouldn’t even say it’s really a horror game, but a horror-themed game.

You get the feeling that something will jump out at you anytime!

It’s a pretty short game and there are only a few basic puzzles, but the artwork, dialog, and presentation is awesome and makes Woodsy is a nice little adventure game for anyone to play. You’re also in for some unexpected surpises as well!

Winterfall is an awesome new RPG that lets you freely explore a huge, gorgeous, lush world.

The game takes place in a fantasy world with an old kingdom that’s been long-abandoned. You play as an adventurer who’s traveling in the land of Anor which was once flourishing but now has been destroyed by the elements. You look through the empty ruins and try to uncover the history of this once busy kingdom through secrets and items you discover.

However, you’re not all alone. It looks like there are few key NPCs you need to watch out for that have ulterior motives. These few individuals want to end your lineage for good. You can create a range of character with unique personalities and goals.

The combat is real-time with blocking, attacking, defending, and everything in between.

Winterfall is an action RPG that uses a third-person camera as you explore the area. You can build your own sanctuary, sort of like a barrier to protect yourself from the coming winter. The game has lush and gorgeous realistic graphics that it almost looks like an actual world instead of a fantasy land. It has a real ecosystem full of flora and fauna that frolicks the huge landscapes of this kingdom. Your actions also leave consequences behind a la Fable.

Winterfall looks like it’ll be a nice exploration game with a unique art style that throws you into a huge world for you to explore alone. it gives you that sense of nature and mesmerizing landscapes as you traverse through tall mountains, snowy caps, seas, rivers, fields, forests, and more. It’s like Morrowind in a way.

It combines RPG with resource management as you build your Sanctuary, so it’s like a town builder as well. You can pick between different cultures and characters. You have to build it, defend it, and expand it. It’s a city builder hybrid, which I have never seen that often other than very specific genres. It’s a welcome addition. Seriously.

You can sign up forWinterfall beta using the link below. This is one ARPG to watch out for.
