South of Midnight：

South of Midnight is a soulful odyssey into the American Deep South, a region rich with culture rarely seen in video games. As Hazel, you use magical weaving powers to fight monsters and heal pain. The gorgeous world draws inspiration from myth and folklore, presented with a subtle stop-motion style. Nimble platforming makes environments a joy to navigate. Ultimately, it's the heartfelt storytelling that turns South of Midnight into an experience that sticks with you.

 

Myst:
For nearly three decades, atmospheric point-and-click game Myst has stood as one of the best, most successful, and most influential PC release of all time. This latest update enhances the beautiful visuals, adds virtual reality support, and randomizes puzzles to make each playthrough unique. Get lost on the island all over again.
Fortnite：
Fortnite is the super-popular, mainstream face of the battle royale genre, but that doesn't mean that the title is without merit. Fortnite has a lot going for it, including approachable gameplay modes, bright and zany graphics, and an excellent construction system. The heavy reliance on microtransactions detracts from the experience a bit, but fans of PUBG and other genre releases should still give this free-to-play game a shot.

 

The main products include game controllers and accessories compatible with PlayStation, Nintendo, Microsoft, Android & iOS, PC and other game platforms.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge：

A love letter to TMNT fans, Shredder's Revenge sees developer Tribute Games pull from past games, comics, and TV shows to create what may be the definitive Turtles title. Featuring six-player action in local and online co-op, Shredder's Revenge has all the humor and wonderful animation that you'd expect from a property that pits mutated reptiles (and a rat) vs. ninjas (and an alien brain). Like Streets of Rage 4, it incorporates fighting game elements to keep the combos flowing.

 

Street Fighter 6：

Street Fighter is back! With the sixth mainline entry, Capcom delivers a fighting game masterpiece. Loaded with content, this title introduces several gameplay mechanics tied to the new Drive Gauge that lets you fight with more freedom than any Street Fighter in the series' history. This creative, fluid combat features newcomer-friendly counters, parries, and aggressive gameplay via its optional, simplified control schemes. Plus, the World Tour mode lets you build an avatar and go on a schlocky martial arts adventure that sees you test your skill in semi-open-world environments.
