NieR

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A bleak action RPG about a father who will do anything to save his sick daughter. It mixes hack-and-slash, bullet-hell and text-adventure moments, carried by a moving story, multiple endings and an outstanding soundtrack.

Transistor

Distinctive, stylised art style

A gorgeous sci-fi action RPG in which the singer Red wanders the city of Cloudbank with a talking sword, blending real-time fights with a pausable planning mode. Freely combinable Functions allow creative builds, and a melancholic soundtrack defines the whole experience.

Nier Replicant

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A dark action RPG in which a young hero tries to save his ailing sister Yonah. Its haunting story, emotional soundtrack and genre-shifting gameplay make it memorable, especially across multiple playthroughs.

Odin Sphere

Distinctive, stylised art style

A gorgeously hand-painted 2D action RPG that tells a tragic, Norse-inspired tale across five interlocking character campaigns. Fast brawler combat is complemented by alchemy, cooking and plant-growing systems.

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West

Post-apocalyptic setting

A linear action-adventure loosely based on Journey to the West, following brawler Monkey and tech-savvy Trip through an overgrown, mech-ruled future America. Its strength lies in expressive performances and a touching, reluctant partnership rather than mechanical depth.

Neva

Lavish presentation

Neva is a gorgeously painted, almost wordless platforming adventure about a woman, her wolf cub and a world in decay. Light combat and environmental puzzles accompany a moving tale of bonding and loss.

Eternights

Post-apocalyptic setting

Eternights blends dating sim and hack-and-slash: you clear dungeons by day, build bonds with your companions, and face the end of the world. Who you spend time with shapes both the story and your combat strength.

Darksiders

Post-apocalyptic setting

As War, a Horseman of the Apocalypse, you carve through a ruined Earth caught between Heaven and Hell. Weighty hack-and-slash combat blends with Zelda-style dungeons, gadget puzzles and a bold comic-book art style.
