Steam's New Kingdom Hearts Meets Jak and Daxter Game Charmed Me in Five Minutes

During my ongoing search to find yet another Steam game to add to my backlog, I have just stumbled upon what I can only describe as an instantly charming modernization of a distinct childhood memory—a game that takes me back to the golden era of 3D platformers while managing to feel like an experience I would and arguably should be having today. That game is Duskfade, a Kingdom Hearts-like, Jak and Daxter-esque 3D action platformer by Weird Beluga that, I'll admit, I had my doubts about going in. However, within just five minutes of playing its surprisingly lengthy demo on Steam, it had its whimsical little Disney-shaped claws dug into me, and I'm here to recommend you keep an eye on it until it launches on August 13, 2026.
