The End is Nigh is a difficult platformer where players take on the role of Ash. Send your blob through over 600 levels of stress fueled adventure created by Edmund McMillen and Tyler Glaiel. You know you're in for a tough time when McMillen's name is attached to a game (Super Meat Boy & The Binding of Isaac).

The End is Nigh released on July 12, 2017, priced at $14.99 unless you grab it for free on the Epic Games Store.

ABZU is an adventure game submerging players into the ocean as they swim around discovering all different creatures below. The Creative Director, Matt Nava, originally worked on Journey and Flower as the Art Director. It comes as no surprise when you look at the unique art style of each game. Developer, Giant Squid, created a vast and deep ocean waiting to be explored.

ABZU released on August 2, 2016, priced at $19.99 unless you grab it for free on the Epic Games Store. TechRaptor's review is available here.
