There were honestly an astonishing number of games released this month, so it's always hard to pick just a few. Hades 2 Although it was featured in the Early Access version, we didn't include it in the list because the only way to get around it is to be trapped in Tartarus with no internet connection.

Basically, your only objective in the game is to survive in several different realms while fighting military and paranormal forces. It's a lot of fun to play and Lethal Companythen you'll love this.

Duck Detective: Secret Salami
It’s hard to resist the temptation to write “phony” over and over again here, but I’ll do my best. Duck Detective: Secret Salami is a really charming detective game where you play as a duck. It's a cute and fairly laid back game, perfect for younger players or those who don't play much. It even has a quacking button, so there's no excuse not to buy it.
Rack and Slay
People have been waiting forever for a roguelike dungeon crawler where you play as a billiard ball, and now the wait is finally over.

If you're looking for a fresh take on the roguelike genre, you should definitely give this game a try.
Nine Sol
Nine Sol is a very cool Metroidvania game with a combat system heavily inspired by Sekiro. This means you can expect some very challenging combat with a strong focus on parrying and timing. It's difficult, yes, but it looks great and feels like water when you play it. The game follows a hero on a journey for revenge while cursing the world as it is, so you can expect an epic storyline and a lot of drama in between some very difficult combats.
