Inscryption has an Overwhelmingly Positive review on Steam and performs just as well on Metacritic with an average score of 87 on Nintendo Switch and PS5 and 85 on PC.
Kayak VR: Mirage
If you love water sports, especially kayaking, this game will blow your mind with its beautiful and iconic locations.

Monster Hunter Rise
This masterpiece, developed and published by Capcom, needs no introduction, especially to all the fans of the franchise. The game challenges players to join the hunt.

Rogue Legacy 2
Cellar Door Games, the developer and publisher of Rogue Legacy 2, describes it as what you get when you mash Rogue Legacy and a sequel together—meaning it borrows from the first installment.

It has a Very Positive review on Steam. On Metacritic, it garnered an average of 90 on Xbox Series X and PS5, 88 on PC, and 87 on Nintendo Switch.
