The Mobius Machine | PS5

The Mobius Machine might just be the most minimalist and magnificent Metroidvania to ever be released. It features a pint sized protagonist, or micronaut if you will, who finds himself in the middle of a perplexing situation where dream meets reality, perpetually. 

In his dreams he sees a machine that implodes on a mysterious alien planet. He pursues an exit afterwards only to be gobbled up by an alien creature of gargantuan proportions. Ultimately awaking to a distress signal from the Isolaris moon. Something that intergalactic law demands he attend to lest he face criminal penalty. It is upon making his way there though that he crash lands, loses his robotic companion Robbie, and finds himself in an eerily familiar place. A place he must scour for resources, and tools in order to escape.

Your backstory isn't initially known, but by discovering secret pages, and talking to the local lawbreakers you'll find your bearings quick enough. You'll learn in due time that you are facing a perilous collect-a-thon to collect enough gems to pay your way out of this Hell hold. 

Mustache In Hell | PS5

Waking up one day only to find himself in the hereafter John Mustache comes face to skull with the Grim Reaper. The big bad bone daddy himself.

Each cube being guarded by an afterlife adversary, and mobs of mythological minions. All contained within gated, and maze-like areas filled with puzzles, and enough items to see John through to the end. This includes everything from guns, and explosives to health items and extra lives. 

Dungeonoid 2 Awakening | PS5

Following in the footsteps of the brick breaking arcade legend Arkanoid, 'Dungeonoid 2 Awakening' continues with the legacy mechanics while building upon them in this RPG inspired indie sequel. In it four heroes including an individually named and background inclusive paladin, priest, sorcerer, and valkyrie fight weapon and spell against an evil priest who is attempting to resurrect the ultimate evil. An evil demon from the depths of hell who has been lying dormant for over 300 years. 

Utilizing the traditional brick breaking paddle, powerups, key items, and two attack types you will not only fight against the minions of darkness, but loot the lands, and upgrade your character of choice as the screen auto-scrolls upwards through 6 differently themed lands filled with obstacles. Each land, in turn, offering their own shops, treasures, and gems needed for enhancing the heroes' abilities.
