God of War One of the most impactful narratives I've played through in a while. Combat is satisfying as hell, and you can feel every hit and blow and swing even when you're not hitting anything directly. That's the sign of an excellent game. 2. Remothered: Tormented Fathers Where as NightCry was a little too rusty around the edges that made it a frustrating experience at times, Remothered is a well-polished Clock Tower throwback that invokes the classic PS1 era of survival horror in all the best ways. The stalkers are terrifying and difficult to avoid, progressing through the mansion is gradual and satisfying with plenty of key item finding and puzzle solving, and the story is really interesting with twists galore. 3. The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories Coming from the unique mind of SWERY, J.J. Macfield is a puzzle-platformer in the vein of Limbo or Inside which starts off sweet and innocently at first, but gets more horrific and fucked up as it goes on. You see, the main gameplay hook of this game is utilizing self-harm to solve its puzzles. The story is really emotional because of this. 4. Spider-Man Finally a Marvel game that captures the high quality of the Arkham series. Some parts don't feel wholly original, but there's a lot of care put into the lore and history of Spider-Man, the swinging is amazing, and the combat is fluid and uses Spider-Man's abilities well. 5. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 While a lack of campaign is sad, the multiplayer is satisfying and one of the most skill-requiring ones in the series. Zombies took a step back from complexity for the better, satisfying the casual and hardcore fans alike. And of course, there's Blackout, the battle royale mode that's endlessly fun and super exciting to win, because you really have to work hard for it. 6. Vampyr A sadly under-looked game from the Life is Strange devs, it reminds me of a more streamlined Vampire: The Masquerade game. The different vampire abilities are fun to use in combat and I like the little town the game takes place in. 7. Death Mark I'm not usually a VN type of guy, but the story and art style of this one really hooked me. It deals with a Japanese urban legend and is surprisingly scary at times. 8. Closed Nightmare I have not played this one personally as it is Japanese-only but I watched a stream of it. It's an FMV style game which is a rare sight nowadays. It's like watching a fun horror movie with puzzle breaks, and it's well done much like how the obscure PS2 title The Fear was. 9. Cultist Simulator A cute little card game that invokes Lovecraft and cosmic horror as the main objective is to build up a cult following for yourself. It's very neat and I haven't played it too in-depthly but I love the art style and narrative nature of it. 10. The Inpatient I inherited several VR headsets this year from my uncle and I really dived into that part of gaming this year between PSVR and Vive. The Inpatient was one of the first of these experiences, set in the Until Dawn universe. It's kinda janky, but you do feel immersed and some parts are genuinely frightening, like when you have to stand completely still in front of a Wendigo. I've played way better VR games (from other years), but Inpatient was still a fun experience. --- If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will! http://tinyurl.com/zqwzc9a - https://i.imgtc.com/3qwvxhc.jpg <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:914170882] in Post topic...
