Great arcade flight combat sim first released as work in progress in 2023/2024. Similar to Ace Combat series, HAWX, etc.
Very good 2D, 2023 narrative WW2 adventure. Also on Steam, but free here.
Combines sidescrolles, small first person action, and other elements.
Adventure Gamers gave it a great 4.5/5 stars.
Excellent 2021 remaster of an incomplete and unreleased prototype of the Dizzy the Adventurer game for the Megadrive by the Dizzy fansite Yolkfolk.com.
The visuals look much better than the many earlier ports of the game on weaker systems (eg. The NES, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amiga, Atari ST, Amstrad, DOS & etc).
SylarDean, a SNES JRPG fan, recorded a gameplay of this port on his YouTube channel in August 2022. He rated it highly (84/100 points).
Second mystery adventure from UK-based indie dev National Insecurities, released in 2017. Free game.
Good reviews on several websites like PCGamer, RPS & Indie Hive.
Warkus from Germany makes good PS1 and N64 styled games with classic perspectives and controls on the Godot engine. These games are usually free. First game released in 2021. Four games so far till March 2022.
Also on Steam and mobile devices. Nice remake of the praised predecessor of the Rusty Lake & Cube Escape series from this Dutch developer. Released for free in 2020. Very positive user reviews on Steam. Very short, though.
Original version was likely released in 2015, according to the 5-year anniversary mention on developer's game page:

A 2021 remaster of classic 2.5D adventure from Czech developer Amanita Designs. Free to grab. Also on GOG, Humble Bundle, and etc.
Free games on itch.io cannot be added into my main account's collection for some reason. So I created this clearly labelled collection, instead.
Game:
