Mages of Mystralia is a charming action-adventure where you have to design your very own spells in order to fight enemies, solve environmental puzzles, and explore over "a dozen distinct regions". After being successfully Kickstarted back in April it has now arrived for both PC and consoles, and from what I can see on Steam it appears to feature some very solid reviews.

What might come as a bit of a surprise is that the story in Mages of Mystralia is written by Ed Greenwood, the original creator of the Forgotten Realms setting used in Dungeons and Dragons. I haven't played Mages of Mystralia myself, but with an author like that chances are high it has a world well worth exploring!
