This week we have a game that looks like Bloodborne if it was a 2D platformer, a whale petting simulator, an adventure that looks like it escaped from Studio Ghibli, an opportunity to own aliens, and a chance to revisit a horror series 7-year-old will be very familiar with.
Below, you can check out the following five games: The Last Faith, Spacebase Startopia, Beyond Blue, Goosebumps: Dead of the Night, and Hoa.

SPACEBASE STARTOPIA
