DmC: Devil May Cry

Melee combat with weapons or fists

Silent Hill 3

Dread and tension

Heather is dragged into a nightmarish otherworld where a mall, a subway and a hospital rot into rust, flesh and blood. Disturbing imagery, Akira Yamaoka's oppressive soundtrack and cryptic puzzles carry the game, while clumsy, desperate combat keeps every encounter tense.

South of Midnight

Emotional impact

A linear action-adventure through the American Deep South where Hazel, a Weaver, battles folklore creatures and mends the broken stories of haunted souls. Its stop-motion-inspired look and soulful Southern soundtrack make it stand out.

Ugly

Dread and tension

Constance

Emotional impact

A hand-drawn 2D Metroidvania where you play an artist wielding a paintbrush, fighting and platforming through a vivid yet crumbling inner world shaped by her mental struggles. Exploration and an emotional undertone are at the heart of it.

Shadow Man Remastered

Dread and tension

As Mike LeRoi, possessed by voodoo power, you move between the world of the living and the land of the dead, hunting serial killers to stop an apocalypse. The remaster brings back this dark, sprawling 90s-style shooter-platformer with sharper visuals.
