Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Sci-fi setting

A cyberpunk immersive sim with a striking black-and-gold Renaissance aesthetic, where augmented agent Adam Jensen can tackle every mission through stealth, hacking, persuasion or brute force. Layered levels and a conspiracy plot about transhumanism reward curiosity and experimentation.

Timespinner

Lots to discover

Stellar Blade

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A slick hack-and-slash set on a ruined Earth where precise parries and dodges decide every fight. It pairs spectacular boss battles with semi-open zones full of secrets and a standout soundtrack.
