Pikmin 4's arguably the standout here (we can't wait to get stuck into that one), but have a browse through and see if anything takes your fancy:

Loop8: Summer of Gods - 6th June

Loop8: Summer of Gods is an intriguing, time-traveling, coming-of-age RPG based in 1980s Japan. The hook? You've got one month until the world ends. Here's more...

Step into the life of Nini, a newly earthbound teen who arrives in the quaint Japanese town of Ashihara in August 1983. Explore the town, befriend its people, and face off against the Kegai in turn-based battles where the outcomes depend on the relationships you’ve built and the decisions you’ve made. Use Nini’s special connection to the gods to reset the world, with each loop allowing Nini and his allies to relive the 8th month over and over until they get it right…or the Kegai overcome them entirely.
