Apologies if I missed anything, do leave a comment if so and let us know in the comments what you're looking forward to!
Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse looks fantastic art-wise. I could tell immediately it was made by a French studio. It’s giving a mix of Dead Cells and Blasphemous vibes. Unfortunately, it also looks like the kind of game I would be terrible at :P
Temtem: Pioneers looks like Nintendo’s next victim...
What really grabbed my attention was Neverway. Celeste pixel artist and Disasterpeace ST in a dark action sim? Sold!
