Ace Combat is a series of flight simulator games, now developed by Bandai Namco, where you take the role of an ace fighter jet pilot in the world of Strangereal. Planes are based heavily on real-life fighter jets, while the tone sits somewhere around Top Gun or the Yakuza series. Fly the plane, engage in dogfights, and build camaraderie with your comrades.

Esoteric Ebb

Esoteric Ebb is a DnD-style RPG that draws heavy UI and mechanical inspiration from Disco Elysium. Play as the world’s worst cleric, here in town to investigate the explosion of a tea shop in the lead up to an important election. Mostly, you’ll probably do everything but investigate the tea shop.
