Invisible Inc is a stealth based turn based strategy game by the same studio that produced the stealth masterpiece that was Mark of the Ninja so it's safe to say they at least have a bit of experience with how to be sneaky.
You control a team of secret agents as they hop across the globe stealing from vast corporations while trying to just survive another day.
Each mission is procedurally generated so you have no idea what the next mission will bring.
The gameplay is very similar to Xcom and there are many elements that are shared with Mark of the Ninja.
I go into more detail in my video review but suffice it to say Invisible Inc is a wonderfully well done entry into the turn based and stealth genres.

Axiom Verge is 2D Metroidlike/Metroidvania is as much a love letter to games like Metroid and games of it's era such as Contra and Bionic Commando as it is a solid entry into the genre all it's own.
Developed entirely by Thomas Happ (including the soundtrack) you can tell that every element of this game has a huge amount of passion behind it and love for the games that it's so heavily based on.
I go into more detail in my video review but suffice it to say Axiom Verge is a quality, but imperfect entry into the Metroid like/vania genre.

Trine 3 right out of the gate is already standing as an example of how to do early access.
Not charging $20 for a half baked tech demo but rather just a taste of the full game that's already there.

Trine 3 is beautiful with a colorful art style and whimsical music. I had my doubts about making the jump to 3D over 2D but it works fantastically, albeit with a few issues but nothing game breaking.

This early access release is fairly short. I completed the two story missions and the challenge mission in around an hour and a half but they're still quite enjoyable. Along with the fact that there will be mod support as well as new levels added over the course of early access I have no doubt there will be plenty of game here going forward.

Having said that $20 is still a bit pricey for 3 levels so maybe consider waiting until there's more content available before purchasing but that's my only real complaint which can be easily rectified.

Looking forward to revisiting it at full release.
