As in Minecraft, the world is mostly safe by day, and populated by dangerous creatures at night. With imposing enemies to vanquish the eyeball monsters are especially freaky , massive underground cavern networks to explore, and an impressive suite of creative tools, Terraria invites players to dig deep metaphorically and literally.
See our Terraria review. Thumper is a rhythm game for people who want to be stressed out and white-knuckling a controller while throbbing music assaults their eardrums. Controlling a silver-plated beetle, or something, you move along a track as frightening psychedelic visions play out around them. While most rhythm games ask you to pretend to play an instrument or tap buttons in time to the beat, Thumper has you lurching aggressively from side-to-side.
See our Thumper review. A frantic multiplayer game from the people who made Celeste, TowerFall Ascension is as fun and frenzied as it gets. This four-player local multiplayer game pits a quartet of combatants against each other in kill-or-be-killed archery battles. The maps are small and the graphics are old-school, but TowerFall Ascension wrings massive amounts of fun out of its self-imposed limitations.
Nothing beats dashing into an opponent's oncoming arrow to grab it, then taking them down with their own ammunition. See our TowerFall Ascension review. What Remains of Edith Finch takes the basic premise of Gone Home--a young woman visiting an abandoned family home in the Pacific Northwest--but makes the missing family members present, not through notes and personal effects, but through short, playable vignettes.
That might mean playing through a horror story rendered in comic book panels with cel-shaded art. It also might mean witnessing, through a camera lens, a traumatic hunting trip where the plot only advances when you snap a picture. What Remains of Edith Finch is relentlessly inventive on the level of its individual stories, but also manages to build to a powerful conclusion that ties everything together.

PlayStation 5. PlayStation 4. Candyman 's Tony Todd, who will voice Venom, says the sequel is " massive ," while Insomniac's Bill Rosemann called it " darker " than the studio's two previous Spidey games. Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the most beautiful open-world games ever crafted. Grass sways in the wind beneath blooming sunrises while towering cities formed from the ashes of a once prosperous society loom in the distance.
And, most importantly, giant, awe-inspiring mechanical dinosaurs outfitted with a terrifying array of pseudo-natural weaponry roam the land, roaring, gnashing, and trampling their prey. When iconic PlayStation developer Guerrilla Games revealed they were pivoting away from the Killzone franchise to make an open world robot dinosaur hunting game starring a warrior redhead outfitted like a space cake dealer at Burning Man, the world was cautiously optimistic.
The end result, thankfully, was a vast, wondrous, and unique open-world action game with just the right amount of RPG elements that come together to create a brilliant first entry into what we hope will become a pillar franchise for PlayStation Studios. Taking down a gigantic boss with an active strategy of well-placed melee strikes and projectiles is one of the most thrilling experiences on PlayStation 4, and looting the shrapnel of a downed robot for much-needed upgrade parts afterwards is equally satisfying.
Horizon takes some of the best elements of existing open world games and weaves them together to make something wholly original, wonderfully refreshing and wildly fun. The latest Horizon Forbidden West trailer introduced us to the game's factions.
What is surprising, perhaps, is just how much of an upgrade it got in the process. Seriously, is there any other game where you can play the stock market, jump in a Mad Max death card and then trip on peyote so hard you turn into a bird?
Dre composed new music for the game and will be featured as a character. Persona 5 does a great job of balancing the two facets of its gameplay, letting players really dive into the social connections in the real world and allowing those to influence the dungeon exploration and turn-based action of its massive and varied mind palaces.
Coupled with a continually engaging combat system, a soundtrack full of earworms, its twisty, wild story, and plenty of additional content on top of the base game, Persona 5 Royal delivers one of the deepest JRPGs of the generation, if not of all time. CD Projekt Red's sprawling fantasy epic has become one of the most noteworthy games of all time, one that set a new standard for open-world RPGs.
With a grim-yet-gorgeous world that stretches across the better part of an entire continent, every corner, cave, swamp or city street of The Witcher 3 has something to discover. It's a game where you can easily get lost for hundreds of hours and still not see everything it has to offer — but every one of those hours will be absolutely worth it.
Netflix's The Witcher: Season 2 is now streaming. IGN's review of the first six episodes said the series "continues to be a light and entertaining adventure in its second season, despite some lingering pacing issues. Bloodborne is a brutally difficult, immensely terrifying action horror game that will immediately kick your ass.
But a voice in your head will begin to ring and linger, calling you back, urging you to return, push forward, and conquer. Bloodborne is a horrible, vile world where every reward brings risks and fear is palpable. Death is frequent. Frustration is certain. But ultimately, victory is possible, and when achieved, becomes one of the greatest feelings in the world.
FromSoftware's next game is the highly anticipated Elden Ring , out February Part 2's ambitious, uncompromising story delivers at nearly every unexpected turn, with character arcs that are poignant, risky, and devastating.
It's also perhaps Naughty Dog's most mechanically complex game to date, and its stealth and action systems delivers moment after moment that feel like they should be scripted but are instead entirely dynamic. Every aspect of God of War feels intentional, interconnecting with every other major aspect of the game, making exploring every inch of its world a rewarding opportunity.
Everything from the main story to side missions and seemingly innocuous collectibles factor into your understanding of this new Aesir-inspired world and its major players.
It somehow never makes any of that feel like a dry history lesson, though, and God of War is constantly making smart, economical use of storytelling. Kratos and Atreus's journey cracked the top 25 on our list of the best video games of all time.

This was just a way to get the content to more people. I understand your concern, but nothing foul is afoot. Gonna have to check out the others.
