Grand Mountain Adventure feels incredibly polished for a game that's still in beta.
Update August 24, 2018: You definitely need to check out the public preview for Grand Mountain Adventure, then test your skills with Bendy in Nightmare Run!
Grand Mountain Adventure (Early Access Beta)
It might still be summer, but Grand Mountain Adventure has me dreaming of slapping on a pair of skis and plunging down a steep mountain.
This fantastic skiing simulator is still in beta, but just recently opened up for a public preview on the Google Play Store. I'd compare this game to a modern remake of the 90's PC classic SkiFree except rendered in brilliant 3D and set in an open world that lets you explore the mountain at your own pace. It's really quite excellent in its current state and I'm excited about how this game might be expanded in the future.
Even though the game is in early access, there's a surprising amount of trails and challenges to explore on the Waldtal mountain as you collect all the ski passes, outrun avalanches, and interact with wildlife and other skiers on the mountain. You can download and check out this game right now!

Bendy in Nightmare Run
It's would be all too convenient and easy to just call Bendy in Nightmare Run a Cuphead knock-off — but that would also be quite disingenuous because it's actually a spin-off of 2017's Bendy and The Ink Machine, a first-person puzzle action horror game. Nightmare Run is a tough-as-nails game that will test your abilities.
The game is broken up into four chapters, with each chapter dedicated to an extended boss battle where you control Bendy or one of his pals as they run towards the camera collecting cans of Bacon Soup and picking up cartoonish weapons to toss back at enemies. You're given standard swipe and tap controls for switching running lanes, jumping, and throwing weapons as the game throws everything it's got at you to try and slip you up.
The comparison to Cuphead reemerge when you consider the difficulty level — this game feels impossibly hard at times, but it just takes some practise to learn enemy attack patterns before you're able to breeze through earlier sections like it's a walk in the park. The developers also deserve praise for how they implemented in-app purchases to offer real-life souvenirs that include posters, lapel pins, plushies and more instead of only offering virtual currencies or in-game items.
