To jumpstart our list is Enemy on Board. It is a free-to-play sci-fi game that uses the gameplay of the notable boardgame Werewolf.
The game starts with six players in total. three of which are humans, while two players take the role of aliens and the other one is a cyborg.
It is now up to the four players to decide who the aliens are. At the same time, the aliens work alongside them in order to deceive and confuse the innocent crew.
There are several skills and abilities for every character just like the board games. It is currently in its early access version, but it is already very much playable.

There will always be a 2D platform game that will come out every now and then that is worth getting.
Dark Light is set in an apocalyptic cyberpunk world full of unknown beings. These supernatural beings are not seen by the naked eye. It can only be illuminated by the player’s light drone.
The player takes the role of a Dark-Hunter that aims to defeat the supernatural. There are upgrades and powerups along the way as the game progresses.
One great thing about this game is its cinematic vibe. The visuals are not as stunning as AAA titles, but the colors and the smooth movement make it an excellent game.
It is currently in early access as well. But, the developers are offering a 10% discount today.

Solve puzzles and exercise the mind while playing Knotbot. It is a new puzzle game wherein the player must program an AI to solve various challenges.
Instead of strings of numbers and letters, Knotbot solves coding problems through yarns and knots. Coding is a challenging topic. This clever way of coding makes it easy to understand especially for non-techy people.
There are several areas in the game. All of which have several puzzles that need to be solved. Playing the game has a therapeutic feel to it because of the soundtrack that accompanies it.
Another goal is to collect all the golden socks scattered through every level. Finish a level within the time limit and collect the rare golden socks.
Knotbot is on sale on Steam right now. The promo ends on May 16, so make sure to grab it while it lasts.
