Here are 39 awesome looking games you shouldn't overlook in 2017.Absolver’s sharp, eye-catching style isn’t the only enticing thing about it. An elaborate hand-to-hand combat system that combines tactical stances, customizable combos, and rearrangeable decks makes every encounter feel as fine-tuned as a fighting game. Check out 7 minutes of Absolver gameplay for more.Agony is a first-person survival horror set in what is probably the most gruesome, shocking, and bizarre depiction of hell in a game, ever. Bone gates open up into shifting tunnels of teeth and bloody, corpse-filled caverns occupied by massive split-faced demons. If horror games are meant to create images that will stick in your mind long after you’d like them to, Agony already has that part down. Head to its website for more info.Allison Road had a promising start as a hyper-real horror game in the same vein as P.T. , the infamous first-person teaser for the now-cancelled Silent Hills. After getting cancelled once itself, Allison Road has been miraculously revived. We don’t know much about it, but the domestic horror of its narrow-hallway-ed suburban townhouse and its sole, lurking occupant already has us on edge.Burrito Galaxy has the strange and colorful charm of a long-lost N64 relic, but avoids nostalgia-baiting by creating something wholly its own. Its world (galaxy?) brims with imaginative characters and floating pastel playgrounds, with all the abstract whimsy and round-cornered playfulness of a children’s toy set. Bouncy text, cute dialogue, and incredibly pleasing music and sound effects bring it all to life. Find out more on its website Chasm promises to combine the challenging, retro-style hack ‘n slashing of procedurally generated dungeons with the carefully-crafted assembly of Metroidvanias. All that, plus some gorgeous pixel art to boot, makes Chasm one to watch.A lot of the excitement surrounding Death’s Gambit has come from its 2D side-scrolling take on Dark Souls, and for good reason. Its imaginative creature designs and sword-and-board approach to combat look great. But it’s the hookshot-driven platforming and ability to scale huge, moving bosses a la Shadow of the Colossus (but inspired by Attack on Titan) that’s really grabbed my attention.Developer Jack King-Spooner, with his knack for surreal multimedia charm and haunting magical realism, aims to tackle “various moral, psychological, and political dilemmas” in Dujanah , a claymated adventure game set in a fictional Islamic country. But it won’t all be serious. Mechs, underground post-punk concerts, and a pilotable mech guarantee plenty of strange and dreamlike surprises. Find out more on its Kickstarter Eitr has been called an isometric Dark Souls for its extremely tough approach to stamina-powered, sword-and-board combat in a dreary, Norse mythology-inspired setting. Terrifying bosses and an incredibly dreary, pixel art atmosphere make this one to watch for fans of challenging action RPGs and low-res dungeon crawlers alike. See more on its website Fallow is an eerie Southern Gothic adventure game about a sleepwalking farmhand living in a land that was once America. Its sepia-toned world, with its juxtaposition of advanced technology and rural landscapes, creates a place at once alien but also hauntingly familiar. Try the demo on itch.io Fe is all about learning how to connect to and communicate with the world around you. Inspired by games like Spyro the Dragon and Journey, Fe will have you exploring its forest ecosystem and attempting to befriend its occupants using different sounds, while steering clear of the shadowy foes who want to take your voice away. Check out its website for more.Flinthook is inspired by games like Spelunky and Rogue Legacy, but with a neat twist: you explore its loot-filled “dungeons” with a grappling chain hook. Game designer Dominique Ferland first teased the idea with a Twitter poll asking followers what they thought of “Spiderman with a gun” for a video game. It’s been praised so far for its strong, intuitive controls, which the creators have spent a lot of effort perfecting. See more on its website Every puzzle fan should have Gorogoa on their radar, because it looks like it will be one of the most imaginative games to grace the genre in years. As its scenes play out in gorgeous hand-drawn art, you’ll be able to layer its drag-and-droppable panels on top of each other and watch as the people, places, and things inside interact with each other in magical ways. Head to its developer blog for more info.Katana Zero is a stylish action platformer that equips you not just with a katana, but also a time-manipulating drug called Chronos. (It’s like bullet time for swords!) Wrapped up in the bright neon glow of an ‘80s neo-noir, Katana Zero looks like a game fans of Hotline Miami won’t want to miss. See more on its website
