Crysis takes us on a sci-fi adventure to an island packed with North Korean soldiers and a few other surprises. We are guided by a well-developed narrative with its fair share of surprising moments. The freedom offered within the levels is another highlight, especially when it comes to first-person shooters, which are mostly linear experiences. However, there is little incentive to explore areas outside of mission objectives.

Many games offer a co-op experience in their campaigns, but very few require their stories to be played exclusively in this mode. As one of those rare cases, A Way Out delivers an outstanding co-op experience, requiring both players to constantly communicate and decide on the best way to move forward. It was one of the best co-op experiences I've ever had, even if the mechanics aren't quite as polished at times.

Described by the developers themselves as a "reverse horror" game, Carrion takes an approach rarely seen in the gaming industry: the character we control is actually the story's antagonist. Stepping into the role of an amorphous monster, your sole objective is to find a way out of the research facility where you are contained. To achieve this, prepare to explore a series of zones, face various types of opponents, and bypass sophisticated security systems.

For the most part, Fractured Minds might seem like just a bizarre game: we carry out tasks without knowing why, while noticing the ever-present, albeit subtle, figure of a monster-like entity. The final scene, accompanied by a text message, makes everything clear, marking the moment when things start to make sense for those who hadn't understood a thing or were assuming it was about something else.
