Minecraft is the top selling video game of all time, starting at its roots as a small indie game all the way to the franchise being purchased by Microsoft. It spawned an entire genre of video games and continues to be insanely popular among families of gamers. Spin-offs were inevitable, the first was a proper "story" game in Minecraft Adventures and now players will get an action rpg flavor in Minecraft Dungeons.

The original Dungeon Defenders was launched in 2011 and went on to be a huge indie game success in a time when indie games were just beginning to hit their stride. The game had a sequel in 2017 that changed the formula and attempted a free to play model, but wasn't met with the same critical acclaim or success. Now Dungeon Defenders: Awakened is throwing its helmet into the ring, bringing the series back and returning to the originals roots.

Georifters, a puzzle platformer focused on bending the world around you, is headed for release in the very near future.  This first effort from Taiwanese developer Busy Toaster hopes to twist the 2D platforming genre by allowing players to shift the very ground they stand on.  As they solve puzzles and progress through the game's Adventure Mode, players will also be unlocking costumes, skills, and characters for a fully customizable experience.

Minecraft started the trend of "survival crafting" games. That is, the loop is to gather resources, craft items, rinse and repeat to improve your chances of survival against some vicious enemy. Volcanoids is the latest game in this genre and in it you aren't only surviving against murderous robots - but a giant volcano erupting on a timer.
