Sundered

For those who enjoy exploring rich worlds, Sundered provides a visually stunning and deep world that makes the exploration element of this Metroidvania game incredibly enjoyable. Much like the rest of Thunder Lotus Games' catalog, the exquisite hand-drawn art style brings a lot of detail to the world. Building lore seems to be one of Thunder Lotus Games' strengths, which is no more apparent than in Sundered.

The game's difficulty is seen as being fairly challenging by reviewers, though some note that there's a little too much grinding that slows down the game's pace. Beyond the grinding, many seem to agree that Sundered is an incredibly enjoyable Metroidvania that encourages and rewards exploration due to the detailed world the game takes place in. Fans of games like Hollow Knight should get plenty of enjoyment out of Sundered.

Spiritfarer

Thunder Lotus Games' latest release, Spiritfarer, may sound familiar to those who watched the 2020 Game Awards, as it was nominated under the "Games for Impact" category. Spiritfarer is described on Steam as a management game about death. Players take the role of Stella, a ferry master who takes spirits to the afterlife after helping them come to terms with their own deaths through love and care. The management part of the game comes with how players upgrade their ferry and learn the needs of the spirits they take to the afterlife.

The game's biggest strength is its storytelling. Many reviewers note that Spiritfarer is a rare example of a game that brings a huge amount of emotion and realism to the characters players meet. Many fans detail how this game helped them further understand and come to terms with death as a whole, making it no surprise that the game was nominated for an award category about impact. There's even more content expected for Spiritfarer, though Thunder Lotus Games are still deciding the exact nature of this content.

Jotun

Contrasting Spiritfarer's ethereal setting and Sundered's focus on eldritch mythology is JotunJotun takes players through an exploration of Norse mythology using similar gameplay to that of the Soulsborne genre. Described as an action-adventure game, many reviews note a heavy focus on the game's boss fights, with some even calling the game a boss-rush. Much like Thunder Lotus Games' other titles, there's a huge sense of adventure and whimsy present in Jotun.

Jotun's ties to Norse mythology manifest with the game's plot, which involves the player character of Thora, a Nordic warrior who had died a dishonorable death. She now must fight her way through the equivalent of Limbo to earn passage into Valhalla. There's a solid premise to the game with supernatural and mythical elements that really benefit the trademark hand-drawn art style of Thunder Lotus Games.
