If you like Roblox, especially Bloxburg, you'll love Starsand Island. Carefree farming, building, and rolling down the street on a skate or a rented car. Just make sure to be ready to tolerate some serious bugs.

Made by a Ukrainian studio under siege, The Sinking City 2 is a grotesque, waterlogged survival-horror with a story that hits harder than its shooting does.

Weapon upgrades in Mortal Shell 2 run through the Tarforge inside Marrow Keep, but the forge doesn't work when you first arrive. You'll need to fix it before you can start putting materials into your blade.

Lazlo's Shell is locked behind one of the game's more tucked-away boss encounters. Getting there requires finding the right beacon, navigating a courtyard full of enemies, and working your way through a long hallway to the fight at the end of it.

A hybrid axe-katana with a moveset built for both heavy strikes and quick follow-ups, the Axatana is one of the more versatile weapons in Mortal Shell 2. Here's where to track it down.
