Welcome to yet another week of new game releases and things are finally starting to warm a little bit in the new year, even if there are a lot of early access games this week. This week's major release is a different take on the metroidvania genre with some rather unique graphics. This is followed by a kingdom-builder set in medieval times, a large-scale real-time tactics wargame set in antiquity, an RPG with an MMO feel that has a co-op mode, a sword making simulator and finally a fairytale inspired RPG where you have to beat a megacorporation.

Play as android MIO in this mesmerizing metroidvania where you explore the Vessel, an enormous technological ark overgrown with machines gone rogue. Uncover its secrets, enhance MIO's abilities, and save the spaceship and its residents from oblivion. Steam link
