GUNRUN
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2561650/GUNRUN/
Vampire Survivors-like taken to the nth degree. Shoot a lot of stuff.
Recommended (if you like twin stick shooters)

Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1228360/Megacopter_Blades_of_the_Goddess/
Remember games like Desert Strike and Jungle Strike? It's like that except your helicopter is sentient and alive and needs to kill lizard men to live. It feels like a European-developed Sega Genesis game
Recommended

Hell Survivors
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2841510/Hell_Survivors/
Feels like they're trying to combine Diablo and Vampire Survivors but it's not exciting enough and the upgrades are kind of boring

METAL SUITS
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2093800/METAL_SUITS/
Mega Man meets Kid Chameleon.
Recommended

KILL KNIGHT
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2694420/KILL_KNIGHT/
Cool art style, ultraviolent twin stick action game. It's like a game they would have on an episode of Law & Order about violent videogames but in a good way.

Skopje '83
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1211980/Skopje_83/
Roguelite first person shooter, got bored after 10 minutes
Not Recommended

Dungeon Clawler
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2356780/Dungeon_Clawler/
It's like if Peglin was a claw machine instead of Peggle. It rules.
Recommended

G.I. Joe: Wrath of Cobra
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2516170/GI_Joe_Wrath_of_Cobra/
I'm a sucker for beat-em-ups but this is so incredibly low effort that it looks and feels like a flash game tie-in from 2005.
Not Recommended

Big Boy Boxing
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1680780/Big_Boy_Boxing/
Do you like Punch-Out? If you like Punch-Out give this a shot. It's got great style and animation.
Not Recommended (I don't like Punch-Out)

Shoulders of Giants
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2982800/Shoulders_of_Giants_Prologue/
Roguelike third person action game where you play as a frog riding a mech and you're trying to stop the entropy of the universe. Reminiscent of Risk of Rain 2 (one of my favorites) and I'm looking forward to the full release
Recommended

Aero GPX
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2160360/Aero_GPX/
Somebody decided to make their own F-Zero since Nintendo isn't
Recommended

Akimbot
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1843540/Akimbot/
You play as a robot with two guns, thus the name. Feels very inspired by PS2 action-platformers, especially Ratchet and Clank.
Recommended

Dungeons of Hinterberg
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1983260/Dungeons_of_Hinterberg/
Zelda-like dungeon crawler and you have a hoverboard. It's pretty dang neat but not exactly my thing.
Recommended (it's still pretty cool)

Fera: The Sundered Tribes
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2469200/Fera_The_Sundered_Tribes/
It's like Breath of the Wild, Dragon's Dogma, Monster Hunter and a city builder blended into one game. The gliding is a lot of fun and so is the grappling. Definitely could see myself playing this with friends.
Recommended

Outrage: Fight Fest
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2307870/OutRage_Fight_Fest/
It's a competitive beat-em-up with MOBA mechanics. It's fun to play but I feel like it's the kind of game that can get bogged down in microtransactions but I don't know if it'll be free-to-play or what.
Recommended
