Rougelike deckbuilding minigolf—those three words were all it took to entice me to give Golfie from developer Triheart Studios a try. It’s a genius idea that could become something great with the right vision. While Golfie is still in early access and might change, the current version fundamentally misses what makes minigolf fun.

Zengeon, an anime-infused roguelike from 2P Games and PQube, hits you right away with slick, stylish art and brightly colored, frenetic action.
