Have you always wanted to explore the depths of the oceans? Then the adventure game “Abzû” is just right for you. Here you dive into an unknown and fascinating world, full of colors and life. Hundreds of different species are waiting for you and of course an inimitable connection to the sea.
Shortly after its release, the little game gained a reputation as an insider tip, mainly because of its incredibly gripping atmosphere. Accompanied by a really magnificent soundtrack, the title takes you on an unforgettable adventure to an impressive underwater playground.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar
If you’d like something a little more action-packed, Battle Chasers: Nightwar might be worth a look. The turn-based role-playing game is based on a comic book of the same name, which revolves around a group of heroes who wander around in search of new adventures. One day their airship is shot down and the main characters must unravel the dark secrets of a strange place.
However, the greatest strength of the game is not its story, but its combat system. This is wonderfully complex and rewards a methodical and thoughtful approach. If you’re up for it, an excellent RPG awaits you here.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Set in 18th-century England, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night takes you through an ancient castle infested with demons. As Miriam, it is now your task to hunt down the monsters and thus save yourself and all of humanity.
The title already gives it away: This is an action role-playing game that is clearly based on the great role model “Castlevania”. On your tour through the castle you will collect various items and powerful weapons and of course you can also unleash all kinds of powerful magic. Perfect for fans of classic offshoots of the genre.
Child of Light
In “Child of Light” you travel to the kingdom of Lemuria and slip into the role of the young princess Aurora. Together with her you have to embark on a great journey and search for the three sources of light and ultimately defeat the Black Queen who stole the sun, moon and stars.
What awaits you here is a wonderful little adventure game that still offers a unique gaming experience today. This is not only due to the very good combat system, but above all to the cleverly told, fairytale story.
Dead Cells
“Dead Cells” was able to quickly spark a hype at the time, and not without reason, because it excellently combines the strengths of a classic like “Castlevania” with the advantages of a rogue-lite. The fights against the numerous enemies in the 2D action game are always challenging and should you ever die, there are no checkpoints – you have to start all over again. What sounds unfair at first, impresses with excellent balancing.
Thanks to an extensive arsenal of weapons and various special powers that you can learn throughout the game, the skirmishes are never unfair. In addition, the game world lures with numerous puzzles and hidden passages that awaken your urge to discover. By the way, if you can track them down, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to enjoy a rare moment of tranquility away from the otherwise ever-present threats.
Ghostrunner
In “Ghostrunner” meanwhile, lightning-fast reflexes are required from you, because every mistake is potentially deadly. In the role of a cyber ninja you make your way through a stylish cyberpunk world in which almost everything in your way wants to corner you.
However, thanks to excellent parcour skills and excellent handling of your katana, as well as the ability to temporarily manipulate time, no obstacle is too big. You’ll need to combine all your powers skillfully if you want to survive this bloody yet challenging adventure.
My friend Pedro
The word that best describes “My Friend Pedro” might be “stylish”. In the 2D action game, you use impressive moves to move through various levels while shooting down dozens of enemies. The slow-motion ability and your parcour skills are your best friends – next to a banana!
It is probably one of the craziest action games of recent years, which is in top form in its core discipline and even makes many larger genre colleagues look old. Once you’re really in the flow, you won’t be able to put the controller down anytime soon.
Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid
With “Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid” we would also like to recommend you a licensed game for the iconic action franchise that is definitely worth a look. In it, you will experience a new installment of the Shattered Grid comic series, in which Lord Drakkon, an evil version of Tommy Oliver, tries to wipe out all Power Rangers in all universes. Various iconic teams from the brand must band together to thwart the villain’s plans.
The combat system of the fighting game is very accessible and beginner-friendly, which is why even genre newcomers should quickly achieve their first successes in the fights. Meanwhile, if you get to grips with the mechanics of the title, you can get a lot more out of it and conjure up some impressive combos on the screen – Zords included! Especially if you are fans of the template, you should take a look here.
The Artful Escape
In the role of Francis Vendetti you can look forward to a truly intergalactic journey in “The Artful Escape”, which, in addition to great music, also comes up with memorable pictures. Furthermore, you can expect all kinds of wacky situations, too many to list them all here. But so much can be revealed at this point: the main character’s journey of self-discovery captivates with a lot of heart and just as much wit.
A playful mix of walking simulator and side-scrolling adventure with small jump’n’run passages awaits you here. You also have to survive fights, at least musical duels. It is an artistic escape from everyday life that you should not miss.
