This year saw the release of Amnesia: The Dark Descent, which played a huge role in revitalizing the horror genre as well as raising multiple Let’s Play YouTubers to stardom, such as Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie. However, the brutally hard platformer Super Meat Boy not only revitalized its genre and gained some mainstream recognition through YouTube channels like KidsReact, but it also started to bring more mainstream attention to the speedrunning community and established extreme momentum and precision as staple mechanics which can still be seen in contemporary platformers like Celeste and Ghost Runn

So you’ve managed to take down another player and you want their loot. Slow down . If there’s another decent player within a few hundred meters distance they’re already rushing towards the sound of shots. Run out into the open and lay down nice and sneaky next to the box and you’re going to get bodied. Even with all the bots on console PUBG , you’re still at r

Ghost of a Tale is the second action RPG that’s departing Xbox Game Pass on January 15. Revolving around the story of a mouse and a minstrel caught up in a perilous adventure, Ghost of a Tale was brought to life by Lionel “Seith” Gallat, a Universal Pictures and DreamWorks veteran . Naturally considering this pedigree, his and indie studio SeithCG’s efforts have led to the creation of a charmingly heartwarming tale. Typically getting to the end of that adventure takes most players only 10 hours, with completionists often being able to stretch proceedings out to roughly 19 hours in their quest to see everything on of

Hotline Miami is a prime example of providing a fresh experience to a known formula by using its bold aesthetic to emphasize the gameplay. The bright neon lights, fast movement, and excellent soundtrack slam players with a wave of adrenaline which feeds back into the high-octane action of the gameplay. It’s dedication to the aesthetic of 1980’s America also provided an introspective look into the ultra-violence that permeated pop culture at the time. It’s that blend of tight and memorable gameplay with a nuanced commentary on its subject matter that made it so special and inspired a wave of 80s inspired ga

One key way to get around this problem is to prioritize a vehicle . A flying vehicle ? Yeah, that’ll probably do the job. Whether you’re in a squad or solo, a vehicle is the easiest way to clear the ring and get a better position on the other s

Lord, please forgive me for even listing League of Legends at all here, let alone so high. As much as I may hate myself for this, I can’t deny for a second that League is likely the game that had the biggest effect on me in 2018. I’ve gone from making fun of the game and all of my nerdy friends who have played it for years to now pouring a fair number of hours into it every week myself.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey ‘s vast world, surprisingly engaging story, and stellar leveling system kept me entertained longer than any other single-player game that I experienced in 2018. As of this moment, I’m still looking for a reason to dive back in, and that might just result in me purchasing the game’s season pass sooner rather than later.

In an industry once dominated by large studios with multimillion-dollar budgets, the rise of indie games over the last decade has been groundbreaking, allowing small teams push gaming in new directions. Some standout indie games master and refine their respective genres, while others flip conventions on their heads and open new doors for more games to succeed t

The Stanley Parable is all about challenging the mores of gaming. The player is given instruction by the narrator; however, they are also encouraged to make their own decisions even though they have no free-will. The Stanley Parable managed to put the limitations of games on display in a way that inspired both designers and players to rethink how games can be made . The effects of this can be seen in future indies like Superliminal and event parts of AAA games like Ellie’s break from established mechanics to watch the giraffes in The Last of
