5 New Games We Love

Summer is sweeter with these five great new games.

Poppin’ battles

Get fizz-ical in Soda Dungeon 2! Upgrade your tavern’s soda selection and furnishings to attract skilled warriors, then fight (or auto-battle) your way through turn-based dungeon encounters to win awesome treasures.

Feathered friend

A charming parrot is your new self-care companion in Bird Alone. As you check in on each other throughout the day, your friendship will flourish through poetry-writing, music-making, and musings about life.

Victory is sweet

Satisfy your sweet tooth with the colorful slide-puzzle game Donuts Delivery. Simply tap and swipe to rearrange pastries so they match the customer’s order. Extra credit for pulling it all off in as few moves as possible!

Queen’s quest

The world of The Witcher roars back in CD Projekt Red’s Thronebreaker, a stand-alone single-player spin-off of Gwent. This beautiful collectible-card game masterfully blends role-playing, grand adventures, and challenging logic puzzles. Play as Queen Meve as she recruits an army, rides into battle, and decides the fate of the realm.

Fix the future

Time—and maybe something more sinister—has reduced a once-bustling space station to ruins in Outsider: After Life. Accompanied by a lone android assistant, you’ll tinker your way through all sorts of clever puzzles to reactivate circuitry and discover what went awry.
