It’s all about reflexes, timing, and a little bit of friendly trolling. There is no solo mode—this is pure, concentrated competitive fun designed to be shared.
20. Curyeux: A Journey of Self-Discovery
Genre: Puzzle-Platformer, Artistic, Story-Rich

Curyeux is a magical and deeply personal puzzle-platformer. You follow Lucien on a journey through fragmented, watercolor memories. The world is a shifting canvas of sketches and bursts of color, where logic is secondary to perception.

21. Truck World: Australia – First Haul: The Outback Awaits
Genre: Simulation, Driving, Open World
Store Page Link
Get ready to haul! This game puts you in the driver’s seat of a massive truck in the harsh, beautiful Australian outback. This isn’t just driving from A to B; it’s a simulation. You need to get out of your cab to secure loads, lower trailer supports, and hitch correctly.
You’ll face scorching heat, blinding sandstorms, and navigate from smooth highways to bumpy dirt roads where you can easily get stuck. With next-gen physics and stunning visuals that make every sunrise and sunset breathtaking, this is a incredibly immersive slice of the trucking life. And it’s only going to get bigger with future updates.

This is a free, fan-made remake of a classic minimalist “boomer shooter” (fast-paced, old-school FPS), rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. Ruyn HD is all about speed and style. Your goal is simple: eliminate all enemies and reach the exit, but you’re rewarded for doing it with flair.
Chain kills to build combos, collect gems, and switch between weapons (which share ammo) to keep your style meter high. It’s a pure, adrenaline-fueled love letter to the genre, with no ads or microtransactions—just satisfying, speedy shooter action.
25. Mecha BREAK: Giant Robot Warfare
