In the roguelite platformer, you play as heroes with a unique and often weird trait, like having a spotlight on you that attracts enemies. After each run, you can spend gold to improve your perks or buy weapons and armor so that you’re in better shape for the next run. It’s a delightful loop, and I loved playing it on Steam Deck earlier this year. You can buy Rogue Legacy 2 on the eShop for $24.99.

You can only survive in the difficult kung fu game by deliberately stringing together combos, dodges, and parries, and overcoming a challenging boss is a thrill. But before you play, read my colleague Ash Parrish’s review, which brilliantly covers how the game’s toughest battle is with its own origins.
