and replacing them with our latest obsessions.
2021 is still pretty young, so we're observed from last year's gameplay
for now. So here are the games that you might wanna play next.
1. HOLLOW KNIGHT
Hollow Knight is a 2017 action-adventure game developed and published by
Team Cherry and was released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux in
2017, and for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2018.
The game follows a nameless knight, (commonly referred to as "ghost" or
"the knight" by fans) as they traverse an ancient, plague-infested kingdom
inhabited by various insects, known as Hallownest.
The Knight must travel through Hallownest, fighting bosses and unlocking
new abilities to progress, as they uncover the mysteries of the kingdom.
Hollow Knight was well received by critics and has sold over 3 million
copies as of December 2020. A sequel is in development, called Hollow
Knight: Silksong.
REVIEW
The fantastic bug world of Hollow Knight grips you right away. You arrive
at the fabled kingdom of Hallownest in its decline, without any memory of
who you are or where you are heading; an empty vessel. At first, you have
no clue of your purpose; there is no map in your inventory – you have to
acquire it later. You proceed blindly into an unknown and strangely
hostile environment because you feel some weird connection to this place.
Something is not right; you see it clearly with your black holes of eyes,
and you try to solve the mystery. With each step you take, with each new
character you interact with, the beautiful story slowly unfolds before
your voiceless hero. You don’t speak at all; the only thing you possess to
cast your will is your sharp needle and fossilized bug shells called Geo
that serve as a local currency.
The combat is tight, diverse, and highly customizable with different
spells and charms. Do you remember those classic games where you have to
play with a slow, clumsy character that is efficient only when your timing
is precise to the automation? Forget them! Hollow Knight gives you the
pleasure of fighting how you want and how you enjoy. Of course, you still
have to time your movements right, but it all comes with more versatility
and a lot more satisfaction. It is so addicting that even fighting mobs in
the same zones, again and again, is not a chore.
Controls are very efficient. There are many moves, power-ups, combos,
spells, charms to learn and use, and everything is easy to pick up. Later
in the game, you roam the vast world of Hallownest like a deadly
ninja-warlock-parkourist. As with combat, the movement (after some
progress) is also very satisfying.
The art style and music are masterpieces in themselves. The art style is
very distinctive; it has a powerful gothic feeling to it, which looks
unbelievably majestic in a world of militant bugs. The music of
Christopher Larkin is equally grand. Everyone praises orchestral music in
Ori and the Blind Forest / Ori and the Will of the Wisps, although I
prefer Hollow Knight’s solemn and melancholic compositions. They sound so
soft, so gentle...like a lullaby or a fairy tale. It oddly fits the
gameplay.
This is one of the few games I will remember and love deeply for my whole
life, probably with ugly nostalgic sentiments along the line. It is one
thing when you experience this kind of bond with something when you are a
kid. It is another thing when the creation of human imagination manages to
touch you similarly when you are long past your teenage years.

2. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is an action role-playing game with a third-person
perspective. Players control Geralt of Rivia, a monster slayer known as a
Witcher. Wild Hunt was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One
in May 2015, with a Nintendo Switch version released in October 2019, and
PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions planned for release in
2021.
REVIEW
I would like to start by saying that this game is, in my opinion, THE game
of the eighth generation, simply because it changed me forever, as much as a
literary masterpiece or a good film can do. I’d also say that this game is a
perfect example of how videogames can be the most powerful artistic medium
as of today. The heart and soul of The Witcher 3 lie not so much on his
gameplay and combat system, which can feel a bit repetitive at times, but in
its powerful and deep narrative.
Its story is emotionally gripping and riddled with player-made choices
and consequences. It’s the ability to make you regret what you thought
was right, and trap you in a world where there is no right or wrong,
only evil and lesser evil is superb. There are several times where you
find yourself choosing between whether to save a deserter or a group of
villagers, only to find out hours later what was the consequence of your
decision. A perfect encapsulation of Andrew Sapkowskj’s morality in the
books.
The combat and character progression is absolutely wonderful. Fights are
smooth, agile, and attractive. Geralt vaults around with pirouettes and
rolls, blending sword and sorcery to make up some of the smoothest and
interactive combat to date. the skill progression itself allows you to
build your character throughout the length of your story, making up
several different builds that you can switch between at your leisure.
And if you regret one of your decisions, don’t fret because re-spec
tokens are easy enough to attain.
The visuals, open-world exploration, and brilliant soundtrack all
contribute to the most immersive game you’ll play. The innate attention
to detail constantly reminds you of the heartache that is the world of
The Witcher, and the tragic theme of Velen will haunt you and stay with
you long after you finish.
If you’re wondering whether or not to pick up this game, it’s never too
late. It’s approachable enough for newer gamers to jump in and relish,
and deep enough for the more experienced to never grow bored. Playing
The Witcher 3 is never a bad decision.
3. DIVINITY: ORIGINAL SIN 2
Divinity: Original Sin II is a role-playing video game developed and
published by Larian Studios. The sequel to 2014's Divinity: Original Sin, it
was released for Microsoft Windows in September 2017, for PlayStation 4 and
Xbox One in August 2018, for macOS in January 2019, and Nintendo Switch in
September 2019. The game was a critical and commercial success, with it
selling over a million copies in two months and being cited as one of the
best role-playing games of all time, with praise given to its combat
complexity and interactivity.
REVIEW
This is an absolute gem of a game. I haven't been this invested in a game
since Skyrim, and this has gone above and beyond any of my expectations I
had from an RPG, let alone a turn-based one.
While the combat system is absolutely fantastic I felt there were
instances where I wanted to feel more powerful. Additional Action
Points/Source Points to acquire would've been nice considering the
plethora of skills and spells you have. I suppose that could've created
some sort of balancing issues, however, but I still feel I'd have enjoyed
a bit more freedom with the fight system.
I ended up never having to use a lot of the spells and skills I'd learn
simply because I felt they weren't the optimal use for my AP in battle. So
I began having nearly the same spells/skills for each of my 4 party
members since that's what kept working well for me.
But I don't want this to come off as too negative for the combat. It's one
of, if not THE most satisfying turn-based combat any game has brought
forth in my experience. The satisfaction of accurately planning ahead to
dish out maximum damage per turn and using the environment to your
advantage (or setting up an environment primed for your advantage) has
been one of the most fun aspects of the fight. Knowing where to land,
where to stand, when to use which school of magic, and how to manage your
AP among it all keeps me constantly engaged. There are times I'll
quicksave and then pick a fight with an entire town just to get that
thrill of the combat.
Gameplay, Story, and Exploration wise, I never once felt bored. The story
might get slightly confusing at first, but it starts to make sense
eventually. It's just a lot of things to keep track of at once if you're
new to the Divinity franchise like I was. Exploration is highly encouraged
and quite rewarding, there's always something for you to find - even if
that something was coaxed into existence by the "Lucky Charm" perk.
There are also so many different ways you get to do things I'd reload a
save only to see what the other dialogues and routes were, even if the
result stayed the same. You could argue that then the game's just giving a
false sense of choice, but in my opinion, these were for very trivial
objectives. There's plenty of other places you get to choose vastly
different outcomes - some that completely change course for the rest of
your quest.
I've played through the game once, but I'm already thinking about all the
other ways I could've done things - right from the start. So to me, this
game does have quite a lot of replay-ability. You can really tell this
game is a labor of love. The voice actors have done an absolutely
phenomenal job in portraying the personalities of the characters they
play. This is even true for the animals who speak! If I'm listening to a
chicken, or a cow, or a tortoise, or a rabbit, or -- anything! I can
actually believe it's what the animal might sound like if they could
speak!
4.Half-Life: Alyx
Half-Life: Alyx is a 2020 virtual reality (VR) first-person shooter
developed and published by Valve. Set between the events of Half-Life (1998)
and Half-Life 2 (2004), players control Alyx Vance on a mission to seize a
superweapon belonging to the alien Combine. Players use VR to interact with
the environment and fight enemies, using "gravity gloves" to manipulate
objects, similar to the gravity gun from Half-Life 2. Traditional Half-Life
elements return, such as physics puzzles, combat, exploration, and survival
horror elements.
REVIEW
Half-Life: Alyx was worth it. While I understand that Valve has
disappointed some by waiting for years to make a game, and also have that
game utilize a medium that the majority of the gaming community will not
have access to for some time, this game is simply awesome. I didn't exactly
play this game with the best setup, I played it on a modest machine on an
older headset on the lowest graphical setting just to be safe. Despite this,
the immersion that this game has especially displayed is amazing, and there
really is nothing like playing a game in VR.
Combining this with hyper-realistic environments with the excellent physics
of the new Source 2 engine makes this game, and its setting, feel real.
Obviously, the realism of Alyx isn't as important as the biggest question
for any game: Is the game fun? The answer is yes. The mechanics in Alyx are
superb, and utilizes VR in a way that anyone playing the game will come to
understand is necessary.
This game would not work on flat-screen, you can't send items flying from
off a shelf and grab a said item out of the air with a mouse and keyboard.
You can't physically move around to dodge headcrabs with a mouse and
keyboard. You can't use your handgun to move a dead body aside to shoot a
lock while gazing upon an isolated quarantine zone that feels particularly
alien, and even Chernobyl-esk.
In a video game, you experience a story firsthand and this is most true in
VR. Whether it's guiding scientists and security guards through the horrific
Black Mesa Incident, or driving along an abandoned, antlion infested coast,
or even crawling through a Xen infested apartment, Half-Life allows you to
explore a world that details an epic story firsthand. Alyx is no exception
to this, and despite its prequel status, Alyx's story continues on the
cliffhanger of HL2: Episode Two we were left off on nearly 13 years
ago.
The new perspective that you are given into the world before Gordon
Freeman's revolution is mind-blowing, and while it mostly does tell its own
story, it delivers very good context for games like Half-Life: 2. I don't
wish to spoil the story, so please play the game to find out. All I will say
more about the story is that the ending is absolutely crazy. In conclusion,
while Valve has kept us waiting for a painfully long time, the wait was
worth it in a way, as they were able to successfully give us another
masterpiece, as well as hope for more games going forward.
I would like to note how all the one-star reviews for this game were likely
made by people who haven't actually played the game and have instead used
this platform to complain about how the game is in VR, which I concede is a
legitimate criticism for many dedicated fans, but I don't regard whining
about a game you haven't played as real criticism... Maybe VR isn't for
everyone, but if you can afford a headset, I think the experience is worth
it... The valve is no stranger to setting the standard for FPS games, and
for VR, they've raised the bar once again in more ways than one.
5. MICROSOFT FLIGHT SIMULATOR
Titanfall 2 is a first-person shooter video game, developed by Respawn
Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. A sequel to 2014's
Titanfall, the game was released worldwide on October 28, 2016 for Windows,
PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In Titanfall 2, players control Titans,
mecha-style exoskeletons, and their pilots, who are agile and equipped with
a variety of skills ranging from wall-running to cloaking.
REVIEW
I probably wouldn't hesitate to say this is the best FPS of all time. Its
mechanics are some of the most unique I've seen in any shooter, its campaign
is the epitome of short and sweet (around 4 hours to beat 8 missions, double
that for master mode), and it's had a resurgence (at least on PC) lately due
to coming to Steam and going on sale a few times.
-Multiplayer-
PvP: The bread and butter of Titanfall 2. There are over 10 different and
most unique modes to play, from common ones like Attrition (team deathmatch
with AI minions similar to League of Legends), Capture the Flag, and Amped
Hardpoint (domination with minions), to more unusual and unique modes like
Live Fire, Bounty Hunt, and Titan Brawl.
PvE: In Frontier Defense, you and 3 other players are tasked with defending
a harvester while it works while being attacked by AI-controlled enemies,
including unique ones found only in this mode, like mortar titans and cloak
drones.
Private Match: The only lacking part of multiplayer, in my opinion, is
custom games. The only things the host can change about the lobby are map,
mode, and time, meaning it's really only helpful for playing with friends,
with no real customizability as far as rules go, like increased health,
limited weapons, or uneven team sizes.
-Multiplayer Progression-
The Progression system in Titanfall 2 is unlike any that I've seen before.
After leveling up (with XP you get from playing matches) 50 times, you are
able to "Regenerate", which deletes most of your unlocks (excluding things
you unlock with credits) but keeps your cosmetics, stats, and upgrades, and
gives you more things to unlock. Titans, weapons, and factions can also be
upgraded and regenerated the same way, saving their upgrades when they
regenerate.
-Multiplayer Toxicity-
I haven't seen the amount of toxicity anywhere NEAR other games', and when
there is toxicity, it's just people complaining about OP weapons and saying
gamer words for fun that I shouldn't say in a Google review.
-Multiplayer Customization-
There are lots of options for customizable weapons, gadgets, and titans, for
pretty much every playstyle. Do you want to be an immobile tank? Grab an
LMG, along with the A-Wall ordnance and Legion titan, and guard the
objective as much as you'd like. Wanna be a ninja? Take an SMG or Pistol and
pair it with the Cloak or Holo-Pilot tactics, a Firestar ordnance, and the
Ronin titan (my favorite). Want to be a sniper? There are 3 unique options
of sniper rifles to pair with Pulse Blade to find hiding enemies, Gravity
Star to hold them in place, and the flying sniper titan Northstar.
-Campaign-
Every level of the campaign is interesting, and there are lots of unique
mechanics to go with them, from time-travel to an electricity gun that can
hack things, and each mission takes place in a distinctive location, from
the mountainous remains of a battlefield to a factory, to a research
facility, to fighters and freighters in the sky, and every mission or two
there's a unique (and perfectly campy) boss with their uniquely customized
titan, different from your own.
Overall, Titanfall 2 is probably the best shooter I've ever played, and one
of my favorites. Sorry for the long read, I hope it was as in-depth as is
helpful.
