Free, solo-made, and done in under two hours -- Helltaker is the rare short game that knows exactly what it is and executes it with more style than most paid releases.

Shared: Boss Fights

A shooter that turns every firefight into a puzzle you solve at full sprint. Superb if you want combat that demands everything, exhausting if you wanted to switch your brain off.
