I've spent about an hour with "Drova - Forsaken Kin". The best way to describe it (and I'm not the first person to do this) would be "2D Gothic". It's quite neat. Exploration is a bit labyrinthian, but it's appropriately punishing and bleak, has meaty combat that becomes satisfying once it finally clicks with you. Just like in Gothic, you start out as someone who can barely swing a club and just like in Gothic again, you need trainers to level up your skills. Controls can take a bit of getting used to and I have no idea where the story will take me, but so far, I'm enjoying my time with it. Really the worst thing I can say about it so far is that the music is rather monotonous.

Drova is available on gog without DRM, supporting Linux and MacOS in addition to Windows (also on Steam and every current and last-gen console):
