When all is said and done, Metal Eden is a game that thrives on pure adrenaline, serving up nonstop, heart-pounding action that rarely lets you catch a breath. It may not reinvent the genre, nor does it even try, but it absolutely nails what it sets out to do: deliver a flashy, straightforward shooter where chaos is king and hesitation means death.
If you're craving a carefree game where the sole aim is to have tonnes of fun while obliterating tonnes of pixelated baddies, then Shinobi: Art of Vengeance is a game for you. With a beautiful art style, a classic story, and a solid sound presentation, you won't be disappointed. This game entertained me very well, and I hope it will have the same effect on you, whether or not you decide to give it a chance.
Sword of the Sea is a therapeutic gaming experience that shows us how game development can be so close to a real art using a gorgeous presentation, stunning music, and an amazing story told without a single word spoken.
Wuchang: Fallen Feathers is not just another Souls-like trying to ride the wave of the genre’s popularity—it’s a title that brings enough of its own flavour to guarantee attention. Wuchang: Fallen Feathers wisely carves out its own identity through unique mechanics like the madness system, a flexible skill-based progression tree, and its haunting, historically inspired world.
The Alters delivers a fascinating story and a rich survival experience that sets it apart from many games in the genre. Its unique presentation, well-developed characters, and engaging gameplay mechanics create a world that is both immersive and challenging.
Warhammer 40,000: Speed Freeks is a very good racer shooter title that will satisfy all your needs for this sort of mayhem, but if you're searching for perfection, you won't find it here, because this title has some serious shortcomings.
Blades of Fire is an action RPG following its own rules and trying to be something else, even though the similarity with the Souls titles and their influence is something it cannot escape from. However, the unique fighting mechanics, paired with the original weapon management, are enough to make this game very intriguing and to make it stand out in the sea of titles that mindlessly try to be like every other game out there.
With a very good exploration, naval combat, and some other very commendable elements, you'll find a lot to enjoy in Trident's Tale

If you appreciate a good horror story and want to finish it for the length of a common movie, then by all means, get yourself Broken Lore: Don't Watch. Not just will you be properly scared, but the game will also give you a story you'll reflect on for a long time after the credits roll.

Bionic Bay is a simple yet satisfying 2D platformer that will entertain you beyond words, provided you don't lose your sanity trying to pass some sections and do some impossible stunts.
Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is, without a doubt, the most complete entry in the series to date. If not for a few minor issues with the story’s presentation and some small gameplay flaws, it could very well have been a strong contender for Game of the Year. However, it still carries some of the recurring problems that have long affected the franchise—issues that, unfortunately, even Shadows hasn’t managed to fully overcome.
South of Midnight is a sight to behold and, hands down, one of the most beautiful games I ever played in my entire life.
