Endless Zone - a side-scrolling ship shooter that takes notes from SEGA's Fantasy Zone and based on Amplitude Studios' Endless series. Available October 16-19.
Golden Axed: A Cancelled Prototype - an entry from the sadly lost SEGA Reborn series, a SEGA IP that would have consisted of modern reboots of SEGA classics, Golden Axed is a restored build of a 2.5D reboot of the old hack and slash, Golden Axe. Available October 18-19.
Along with all of this is a huge sale on various SEGA games on Steam as well as a few games that can be claimed for free such as Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and a map in Total War: SHOGUN 2.

The upcoming action adventure Stellar Blade comes out on April 26 and before launch it was updated with a new game plus patch, allowing players to carry over most of their progress and unlocks to a new playthrough, playing the game from the very beginning.
Stellar Blade’s potential was clear, but as its ambitions expanded into something greater, it lost focus. As soon as Stellar Blade tries to bring everything together, it merges into a single figure that looks deformed and uneven. The quality is unquestionable but it wasn’t the final product I was slowly building in my head as I went through the game’s first half.
