Journey of the Garden Rose is a retro aesthetic souls-like adventure game with great art direction, and solid writing. I love the fairy tale framing of the story, and the look of the game is fantastic! I wasn't expecting the writing to be so good either, but i found myself reading almost every book I came across in the game. And best of all, plays pretty well on the steam deck! Worth your time.

Another great journey from Renegade Sector! Always worth your time for the aesthetic alone, let alone the combat and level design.

The latest Renegade Sector game has you strutting through winding gardens and hallways while poking bugs with a stick so hard that they explode. The fencing has a good soulslike rhythm of exploiting enemies when they leave themselves open and doing extra damage on wall slams makes for satisfying positioning strategies. As the castle is large and lacking in a map, you may find yourself needing a pen and paper to draw your own as you explore if you're prone to getting lost.
