Before we all settle in for The Game Awards next week<\/a>, this year\u2019s PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted had its own assortment of interesting reveals and excellent trailers. It was an indie-focused showcase, which means that there was quite a bit of inventiveness on display; everything from a unique take on TMNT to a platformer where you jump around computer windows. If you missed the show live \u2014 which also included some news updates, like PlayerUnknown\u2019s ambitious plans for the future<\/a> \u2014 here\u2019s a curated list of some of the best stuff that was on display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The original Moonlighter<\/em> mixed action RPG gameplay with the mundanity of running a shop, and the sequel looks like much of the same: only this time, players are transported to another dimension they need to escape. The Endless Vault<\/em> launches in 2025 on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One of the biggest surprises was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown<\/em>, from indie studio Strange Scaffold. It\u2019s billed as a turn-based take on the turtles, which is billed as an experience designed in part for \u201cquick-play sessions that feel meaningful.\u201d It takes place in a timeline without icons Shredder and Splinter. Given the studio\u2019s history \u2014 see Clickolding<\/em><\/a> and An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs<\/em><\/a> \u2014 it will hopefully also be weird in a good way. Tactical Takedown <\/em>launches on PC in 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This rock-climbing adventure \/ survival game has been looking good for a while now<\/a>, and you can finally check it out for yourself: Cairn<\/em> just got a free demo on Steam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n There can never be enough co-op games. This release from Daruma Games supports local and online co-op for up to four players, who are tasked with surviving in the great expanse of space by doing \u201codd jobs through the galaxy.\u201d It\u2019s also pretty darn cute. Sol Mates<\/em> launches in early access next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Billed as a \u201cheartfelt nod to Middle Eastern fables,\u201d this game looks like a potentially great mix of adventure, action, and puzzle solving, with a great big fluffy dog to ride on. In fact, you play as both the boy and the dog, who form a bond over the course of the game. Let\u2019s hope it has a happier ending than The Last Guardian<\/em><\/a>. The Legend of Baboo<\/em> is launching in 2025 on both PC and Xbox.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Thanks to this game, I\u2019ve learned of a fictional genre called \u201cbrinepunk,\u201d where tech is powered by sea brine. It sounds weird, but this co-op shooter does take place in the fascinating underwater ruins of a long-gone civilization. Developer DoubleMoose says Abyssus<\/em> will go into alpha on December 6th, with a full release next year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n All you really need to know is that this is a platformer where you\u2019re jumping across a desktop PC interface, rearranging icons to solve puzzles, and fighting bosses controlled by the OS. It launches on both PC and the Nintendo Switch on March 6th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nMoonlighter 2: The Endless Vault<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
