SFB Games’ survival horror is a throwback to the glory days of the PlayStation 1, reminiscent of the eerie “Silent Hill” and the classic “Resident Evil.” It’s even set in the Nineties. You play as special agent Mara Forest, investigating the titular abandoned amusement park, which was shut down when its owner mysteriously disappeared and is now populated by mutated former customers. 

‘Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2’ 

Developers Ninja Theory took a big swing with this sequel to its 2017 award-winning action-adventure game, and it paid off handsomely. The titular Pict warrior, who experiences psychosis, is once again brilliantly voiced by Melina Jürgens and the bigger budget has been used wisely, immersing you in the action as Senua hacks her way through the horrors of 10th-century Iceland. 

‘Animal Well’ 

Playing as a blob might not sound like the most enthralling experience, but Shared Memory’s nonlinear platformer in which you (the blob) must navigate a labyrinth filled with animals, solving puzzles along the way will have most players hooked within minutes. Simple to grasp, but increasingly tough to crack, “Animal Well” can quickly become an obsession. 

‘Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown’ 

Thirteen years on from the last major installment in Ubisoft’s action-adventure platformer, a new hero — Sargon — picks up the mantle. Sargon must leave his clan and embark on a sprawling journey to the cursed Mount Qaf in order to rescue his people’s kidnapped prince. It’s a fantastic-looking game with a well-balanced mix of puzzle solving and combat-based button bashing.
