Hollow Knight is one of the best modern Metroidvania’s around. It’s beautiful, expansive, and full of delightful secrets to discover that can keep you playing for dozens of hours. The kingdom of Hallownest is a brutal one, and Hollow Knight doesn’t ease you into it. That may have caused a lot of people to bounce off of it initially – but when it fi...
For many younger fans, From Software may be known primarily for its work with the Souls series. But for the elders, the studio won over hearts and minds with the sci-fi mecha action of Armored Core. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon manages to take the tried-and-true fundamentals of the classic series and combine them with the learnings and experien...
Not since the Batman: Arkham series has a game so effectively distilled the power fantasy of a fan-favorite superhero and injected it so expertly into our eyeballs. Spider-Man Remastered may be native to the PlayStation 5, but on a high-end PC you can push it even farther than what a console can muster and experience swinging around in the open wor...
Standing tall as one of the strongest single-player shooters in recent memory, Machine Games’ Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus turned the rebooted Nazi-killing rampage series into a character-driven story that gave BJ Blaskowitz not only a wonderfully satisfying arsenal of alternate-history weaponry, but added new dimension to him as a person and in...
In short, Final Fantasy XIV is not just the best MMO you can play right now, it’s a fantastic Final Fantasy game in its own right. Through its relaunch and subsequent four expansions, FFXIV has slowly morphed from a relatively generic good-versus-evil plot into a sprawling, political, and fantastical thriller. The latest expansion, Endwalker, bring...
It’s hard to define Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Recreating the opening hours of the original RPG as a full-blown action game in downright gorgeous style, it isn’t afraid to play with those iconic characters and the story around them in ways that often feel more like a sequel than a remake. But no matter what path this seemingly new series continues bla...
Simultaneously one of the newest games on this list and also the oldest, the 2023 remake of 2005’s Resident Evil 4 took everything that made the original a standout action-horror classic and modernized it to thrill present-day gamers just as much as it had those who always saw it through rose-tinted glasses. Rebuilt from the ground up, it builds te...
God of War made a huge impact when it launched as a PlayStation exclusive in 2018, even taking home IGN’s Game of the Year award. But its greatness didn’t hinge on its platform, and its arrival on Steam in early 2022 opened it up to a whole new audience – one that should absolutely take the opportunity to play it if they haven’t before. This reinve...
One of the greatest reimaginings of a classic game ever made, the 2016 reboot of Doom held nothing back as it launched us face-first into a horde of space demons and invited us to rip and tear them to shreds, then feast upon the glowing bits that popped out so that we could do it again and again. While the sequel, Doom Eternal, arguably improved on...
Seeing as it collects all of the deviously designed scenarios from Io Interactive’s recent Hitman trilogy under one banner, Hitman: World of Assassination is too good to pass up. With all of the rich, rewarding, and highly replayable sandboxes at your fingertips, there’s virtually no end to the cold-blooded and often hilarious trouble you can cause...

- Banishers: Ghosts of the New Eden. While the main appeal of Banishers Ghosts of the New Eden is its emotional story, it’s also a highly competent action game with a combat system that’s easy to get to grips with.
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Slightly different than the rest of the list, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a 2.5D platforming, Metroidvania-type game that sees you, the eponymous Prince of Persia overcoming friend and foe, some friends that used to be foes, and some foes that used to be friends.
- Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name. Once a legendary member of the Yakuza gang, Kazuma Kiryu abandoned everything he knew and adopted a new persona entirely to protect his family.
- Tomb Raider (2013) A gritty Lara Croft origin story that takes huge inspiration from Uncharted should have been a terrible idea, especially after the well-received (but poorly selling) Underworld, but developer Crystal Dynamics made it work.
