Periapsis: Eclipse: I'm sad to say I bounced off of this game almost immediately. It's a space gravity-based combat ... thing, but also has a bunch of ship inputs to manage (like engine temp/cooling, control rods, weapons, etc) and I got very overwhelmed very quickly. I don't blame the game, this was 100% a me thing.

Dispatch: Your dad used to be a super hero, and after he died, you took over the mantle until your mecha suit was destroyed. Now you work in an office dispatching former villains-cum-heroes that are at the absolute bottom of the list. You decide who goes to what call, using the mission expectations against your teams stats to try and get good results. The writing is amazing, the game loop feels good, and given the team behind this game: I expect great things. I wishlisted this within the first couple minutes of playing.

Super Loco World: Raise islands and help their population flourish by building train stations to resources and routing trains to get them what they need! The game is simple on the surface, but it also hides a lot of power with its conditional routing tools. There's a bit of a learning curve when you start trying to get cute with your decisions.

BALL x PIT: Oh my god what a shocking last-minute entry. This game smashes together breakout with vampire survivors with loop hero with... surely other things as well. I struggle to explain this game accurately but I had an absolute blast playing it. This was an easy wishlist and I highly recommend just going and checking it out for yourself
