Hollow Knight: Silksong
Seven years after it was announced, Team Cherry's sequel arrives faster, meaner and bigger than the original, and mostly earns every one of those seven years.

Dwarf Eats Mountain
A dwarven mining incremental that turns every run into a demolition problem — hire dwarves, point war machines at a mountain, and work out how to get the gold home before the mountain takes it back.
8.5 / 10
Palworld
Two and a half years after the meme that ate January 2024, Palworld's 1.0 finishes the job — a survival sandbox whose real subject is labour, with 72 more Pals, a level-80 ceiling and two new regions bolted onto the top of it.
8.5 / 10
The Outer Worlds 2
Obsidian's satirical space RPG grows a genuinely excellent build system and a slow-motion gunfight worth building around, then hands the writing and the companions less attention than either deserved.
8.5 / 10
Idle Iktah
A free incremental RPG that hides a genuinely deep skill web behind a calm Pacific Northwest setting — and then puts a price on the one resource an idle game trades in, time away.
8 / 10
Kingdom Rush
A Uruguayan studio's first major project turned a portal sponsorship deal into the Flash browser era's most influential tower defense game — one that outlived the plugin it was built in by porting itself, tower by tower, onto seven other platforms while the original still runs today under emulation.
8 / 10
N
A ninja falls, slides and wall-jumps through a wireframe apartment building full of homicidal robots, in the 2004 freeware download that taught a generation of Flash developers what momentum-based platforming could feel like — years before N+ or N++ existed.
8 / 10
Octopath Traveler 0
A mobile gacha game with the gacha surgically removed, rebuilt around a custom protagonist, a town you raise from ash, and a battle system that still rewards knowing exactly when to break something.
8 / 10
The Binding of Isaac
Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl's 2011 Flash roguelike sold itself for $4.99 on Steam rather than living free on a portal, and turned a three-month game jam project into the game most credited with dragging the roguelike out of niche obscurity — years before Flash's own limitations forced McMillen to rebuild it from scratch as Rebirth.
8 / 10
Dune: Awakening
A survival MMO that actually earns its licence — stillsuits, spice addiction and sandworms all function as real systems — held back by an endgame that still leans too hard on forced PvP for players who came for the desert, not the fight.
7.5 / 10
Epic Battle Fantasy 3
A free 2010 turn-based JRPG parody that gave its three-hero cast a walkable overworld for the first time in the series, wrapped a genuinely deep elemental-combat system in deliberately juvenile humour, and is still free to play today on Steam and itch.io.
7.5 / 10
Forsaken Realms: Vahrin's Call
Seven people spent twelve years building a handcrafted fantasy RPG where you are nobody special, and it shows in the best and worst ways — superb exploration and a classless build system, wrapped in a technical layer that isn't finished.
7.5 / 10
Lunarium
A nine-person Shanghai debut builds a hand-drawn action RPG around a parry that can't be spammed, and mostly wins the argument — undone by a text layer that clearly needed another month.
7.5 / 10
Milky Way Idle
A solo developer's take on RuneScape-style skilling, rebuilt as a multiplayer idle game with a real player-driven economy — and a cow theme it commits to with a straight face.
7.5 / 10
Prelude Dark Pain
A Seville studio's debut tactical RPG that looks like Darkest Dungeon and plays like Final Fantasy Tactics — two battle points a turn, a board that fights back, and one act of a campaign that has another year of building to do.
7.5 / 10
Realm of the Mad God
A two-person game-jam prototype turned into the browser's most influential permadeath MMO — a bullet-hell shooter where death erases your character entirely, funded on cosmetics alone at launch, and still running fifteen years later as a live game that quietly isn't a Flash game anymore.
7.5 / 10
The Fancy Pants Adventures: World 1
A three-level, stick-figure platformer that Brad Borne built alone in Flash and put up on Newgrounds on 14 March 2006 — and the one Flash game whose momentum-and-wall-jump movement was good enough to get itself remade twice, once by EA on consoles and once by its own creator on Steam, nearly two decades later.
7.5 / 10
This Is the Only Level
John Cooney's 2009 one-room platformer spends thirty stages breaking its own single layout — reversing the controls, killing the lights, handing movement to the mouse — and it is still turning up on "best Flash games" lists in 2026 for exactly that trick, even though the trick itself only works once.
7.5 / 10
Transformice
A three-week Flash prototype about mice, cheese and a randomly chosen "shaman" who builds the level around them went viral through 4chan and SomethingAwful in 2010 and never actually died — Atelier 801 kept it alive as its own live service for sixteen years while almost everything else in this archive stopped running.
7.5 / 10
Achievement Unlocked
A four-day joke about achievement bloat, built by Armor Games' first employee, that turned "do 100 arbitrary things to a blue elephant in one room" into a bigger hit than anything with actual level design that Armor Games shipped that month — and that got a real Steam re-release with real achievements fifteen years later, which is funnier than anything in the original script.
7 / 10
Cell: Idle Factory Incremental
A free Android incremental with more content than most paid ones, wrapped in a chest-and-rewarded-video economy that sells you relief from its own busywork. The genre's most argued-about game, and both sides have a point.
7 / 10
Legends of Idleon
A solo developer's four-and-a-half-year Early Access project about running up to eleven characters at once — genuinely one of the deepest class-and-skill webs in the idle genre, sitting behind a shop that has gotten harder to ignore.
7 / 10
Moonlight Peaks
A vampire farming sim with the best time-pressure idea the cosy genre has had in years, and almost no progression ladder to spend that pressure on.
7 / 10
Sonny
A solo developer's turn-based zombie RPG landed on Armor Games in December 2007 and quietly built one of the highest-rated pages on the whole portal — a tight, Focus-managing combat system wrapped around only three story zones and one shared ability tree, both of which its own sequel would fix a year later.
