    That list is incomplete, Esoteric Ebb is not on it.

      Deserves a mention, but gosh was it a bit heavy handed on the politics stuff. Was not expecting that for a fantasy setting.

        Really? Fantasy settings have been political since forever, and Game of Thrones wasn’t that long ago. I’m rewatching the extended editions of Lord of the Rings now, and while I can’t remember the books’ stances, the movie for sure has things to say about industrialization and environmental impacts when they cut to Saruman.

    Ooh, Mythmatch sounds delightful, I’m downloading the demo to check it out!

    It’s a sleeper hit for sure, but I’d highly recommend Escape from Ever After to anyone looking for a good Paper Mario game like those first two. 6 months and 7 new releases into this year, that’s still the best game of 2026 for me so far.
