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:

Aven Colony is a newly released city-building sim set on an alien planet full of hostile terrain and equally hostile locals. In order to survive you will need to create a fully self-sustaining colony that will not only be able to defend itself against everything the planet throws at it, but also exploit those very same things in order to further advance your new civilization.
You can get a brief glimpse at what all of this looks like in-game through the recently posted launch trailer down below. Its not very long, but it should get the message across quite nicely. Have a look:

Out of all the strange games and concepts I've covered throughout the past few months Graveyard Keeper might just be the most 'out there' of them all. It is a seemingly Harvest Moon inspired cemetery management sim, but what might come as a massive shock given the theme is that it actually appears to be pretty damn charming!
Since this is one of those concepts you need to see in order to believe, allow me to share you the relatively recent announcement trailer. It might not be overly long, but it gets the message across quite nicely. Have a look:

The Mystery of Woolley Mountain is a surreal and rather bizarre adventure game about a group of five renegade time-traveling audio scientists that are trying to destroy an evil witch. Makes perfect sense to me! I mean, what in the world could you even add to that?
If you're wondering what all of this madness might look like in gameplay terms, you'll find the recently posted trailer right below. Its not overly long, but it'll give you a pretty damn good idea of just how strange the world of The Mystery of Woolley Mountain truly is. Have a look, it's well worth the time:

Dreamfall Chapters is a story-driven adventure game with a focus on difficult choices and their far-reaching consequences. The first story chapter arrived all the way back in the ancient times of 2014, while the fifth and final chapter concluded the whole storyline in June, 2016.
Even though the most recent update is not as large as Book 5, it does bring with it some rather significant changes. The artwork has been greatly improved with new and revised character models and lightning, while on the other side of the coin the soundtrack was expanded with new music, the voice-overs remastered, and sound effects cleaned up across the board.
