Its focus lies in helping a group of survivors to survive by using the materials available. Influenced by the Siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian War, ’This War of Mine’ is in a vein completely opposite to such mainstream games. However, the emphasis on action set-pieces that appear as the epitome of cool perhaps takes away the seriousness of it all. This isn’t to bash such games, instead they have been quite important in conveying the general sense of war being futile in every sense of the word. Gamers all over the world have a very different understanding of war, with years of ‘Call of Duty’ up their sleeves. There’s a poignancy in our protagonist’s disillusionment that speaks to us on a primal level, and indeed the nuance would be missed by younger gamers who’d rather be awed by the game’s visuals, which of course, are stunning in their own right. We follow in the footsteps of a 20-something college dropout who returns to their hometown and sees how it seems to have progressed without them. ‘Night in the Woods’ is a gem of a game that belies the crucial themes it expounds upon. But don’t get taken in by its vibrant, animated visuals and the most adorable feline characters.

One look at ‘Night in the Woods’ and it’s perfectly normal to those who haven’t played this, to think how it gets up on this particular list. For fans of the show, the fact that most of the game, especially the cut scenes, look exactly like the show can only make it better. While the crass humour isn’t that surprising, given its source material, what is however is its detailed combat, which of course has a whole bunch of great super abilities, but also contains deep grid-based fights. The game changes the formula, with players playing as superheroes in this lewd and satirical role-playing game. The obscenities of the latest ‘South Park’ game start from the name itself, and doesn’t let up, making it a remarkably accurate rendition of the celebrated, irreverent television show. South Park: The Fractured But Whole (2017) From thoughtful stretches of exploration to gripping chases away from giant spiders, ‘Limbo’ has it all, and its all may well be suited to more adult minds to appreciate its remarkable ambiguity perhaps slightly more. From dilapidated hotel signs to drops of water that reverberate across the dreary expanse of limbo, the setting does a consummate job of convincing us how real all of it is. The game’s breathtaking black-and-white visuals convey the horror wonderfully and an overarching sense of loss painfully. We embark on a deadly journey to save a little boy’s sister in, as the title suggests, the world of limbo. One of the most hauntingly beautiful video games to have ever graced our screens, Playdead’s ‘Limbo’ is a bona fide masterpiece. It’s almost impossible to believe that Nintendo publishes the series, given how it’s seen as mainly offering family-oriented fare, but we are certainly not complaining.

The game consists of a deep combat system, and incorporates a variety of moves, from gunshots to slo-mo dodges.

While the stylish hair and seductive action poses of the eponymous protagonist point to typically titillating Japanese mainstream culture, the seamless gameplay mechanics and rewarding progression system make ‘Bayonetta 2’ one of the most important games in recent memory.
