Some of those games have even employed “supporter tiers,” microtransactions and other tactics to get money soon and release a proper product later – or in some cases, never at all. Over the past few years, dozens of games have launched in early access only to be abandoned before their full release. I’d much rather play the game in its completed state, and the whole fad of releasing games in their beta seems scammy. I’ve purposefully avoided playing the early access demo for Darkest Dungeon II.

Salt and Sanctuary, which has been called a "side-scrolling Dark Souls," is on sale for $7. And if you want a similar level of darkness delivered through a music-rhythm game, you should grab Thumper, also for $8. Its expansion, Dying Light: The Following, is on sale for $8. It features post-apocalyptic parkour, which is probably all you need to know to decide whether it's your kind of game.
