Redeemer is a top-down, close-quarters brawler that's all about obliterating hordes of opponents in the most brutal way possible. What this means is that you will spend a lot of your time kicking, punching, hammering, hacking, shooting, and smashing your way through a variety of hired goons and hideous monstrosities, all on a mission of reckoning and redemption.
You can get a good glimpse at what all of this looks like in-game via the recently posted launch trailer. Its not very long, but it does a pretty damn good job of getting the message across. Have a look:

Peregrin is an upcoming story-focused puzzle adventure that will have you travel across the great wasteland known as The Divide in order to save what remains of humanity. Along the way you will take control of various creatures in order to open up paths and solve puzzles, though you will have to be careful about how you use your powers because not every animal is going to be exactly happy with you pulling the strings.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in-game, wonder no more as the developers have released a lengthy gameplay video covering pretty much everything you need to know. So if you have even a shred of interest in Peregrin I would recommend you give the video a look. Here it is:

Observer is a psychological horror game set in a bleak cyberpunk world that is constantly beset by plagues, war, and poverty. With the outside world being such a bundle of joy and happiness, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that most of humanity has turned to drugs, virtual reality, or a combination of both.
This is where you, an elite neural detective known as an Observer, come into play. Its going to be your job to invade the unstable minds of criminals and victims in search of clues and information, which unfortunately means you will have to delve through their darkest fears and most twisted dreams. As far as horror game concepts are concerned, this one's pretty high up there in terms of creativity!

After almost a hundred updates and multiple years in Steam Early Access the zombie-free survival game The Long Dark will be releasing tomorrow, on August 1st for PC and consoles. Instead of dealing with a post-apocalyptic scenario or raving bands of super-mutants, in The Long Dark its only going to be you, the bitter cold, and all of the fury Mother Nature can muster. A simple concept, but a rather compelling one!
In an effort to make this launch all the more exciting for new and old players alike, the developers will be bringing in the long-awaited story mode. So whether you're a seasoned veteran or a brand new player, there will be plenty of mysteries to uncover and survivors to chit-chat with. If you're interested in seeing what all of this might look like in-game, here's the recently posted trailer:

Abandon Ship is a singleplayer strategy/adventure game where you will have to take command of a ship and its crew in order to explore a vast and procedurally generated world. Along the way you will take up quests, deal with random events, and naturally, fight against pirates and gigantic monstrosities that delve in the ocean's depths.
Its obvious that Abandon Ship has taken heavy inspiration from FTL, but worry not as it has enough bells and whistles of its own to make things interesting. You'll see what I mean in one of the most recent combat trailers. Have a look:

Redeemer is a top-down, close-quarters brawler that doesn't shy away from showcasing the true brutality of combat. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will spend most of your time punching, kicking, hammering, hacking, shooting, and smashing your way through an entire army of elite operatives and hideous monstrosities, all on a mission of reckoning and redemption.
Since trying to explain this type of game through words alone is a bit a pointless task, allow me to share with you the recently posted trailer. It will give you a pretty damn good idea of just what kind of brawler Redeemer truly is. Have a look:

Immortal Planet is a Dark Souls inspired action-RPG with a focus on challenging combat that rewards patience and timing above all else. In gameplay terms this means that all of your enemies and bosses will have clearly defined patterns you'll need to spot and exploit, lest you find yourself becoming yet another red stain on the floor. Chances are you're going to die quite a lot before you get the hang of things, but much like Dark Souls death should be treated as nothing more than a learning experience, so don't stress too much if you find yourself failing over and over again - we've all been there.
If you're interested in seeing how all of this translates into gameplay, you'll find one of the recently posted trailers down below. Its not overly long, but there's enough gameplay in there to give you a pretty good idea of just what kind of ARPG you're getting yourself into. Have a look:

Sundered is a hand-drawn Metroidvania that will have you explore a ruined world teeming with eldritch horrors. Unlike most Metroidvania games, however, Sundered has a mixture of hand-crafted and procedurally generated levels, which in theory should add a ton of replayability and content to explore.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, you'll find one of the recent trailers down below. Its not very long, but it sure is lovely to look at. Have a gander:

Galaxy of Pen & Paper is a newly released turn-based RPG about a group of players enjoying what appears to be a futuristic (and somewhat insane) version of Dungeons and Dragons. As you might expect given the genre, you'll have to create your own party of intrepid adventurers, explore distant planets and fight weird aliens, and most importantly of all, collect tons and tons of equally weird space-loot!
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in gameplay terms, allow me to share with you one of the recent announcement videos. The whole thing is about two minutes long, but it does a rather good job of explaining just what kind of RPG you're getting into. Have a look:

[Update]: Noita's snowy update has now added fifteen new spells to play around with, as well as a bunch of other content. Long story short, Noita's Early Access stay is going pretty well so far!
Noita is a newly announced and procedurally generated roguelike set in a world where each and every single pixel is physically simulated. What this means is that you will not only be able to bash, melt, and explode your way through the world itself, but also create hazards in the environment to obliterate your enemies with.
Since trying to explain this through words alone is quite a challenge, allow me to share with you the recently posted reveal trailer. Its not very long, but it is definitely worth checking out given the concept alone. Have a look:
