Playing as the new manager of the titular burger restaurant, you work the overnight shifts, trying to ensure that the customer’s meal is delivered correctly while putting out fires, dealing with rats and other random events. If you’re looking for something that’s just a little bit creepy and unsettling before the end of the year, this game should fit the bill. The product of if Good Burger was actually some kind of Cronenberg-esque body horror movie, Happy’s Humble Burger Farm does not seem to feature any of the happiness that the title suggests it would.

While there’s a lot of enemies to encounter within Solar Ash, the game’s true focus is on the action platforming and exploration side of gameplay. Instead of a 16-bit adventure, Solar Ash is a fully 3D action platformer where you control Rei, a voidrunner navigating a black hole while attempting to save her planet. Solar Ash, if nothing else, is an ambitious attempt to exceed what Heart Machine have done before, taking the vibrant and lovely colour scheme of Drifter and applying it to a game that attempts to cross Jet Set Radio and Shadow of the Colossus. Heart Machine blew the world away back in 2016 with their debut title, Hyper Light Drifter, so a sophomore title certainly has a lot to live up to.
