DmC: Devil May Cry

Lavish presentation

Ninja Theory's reboot reimagines Dante with fluid style combos built on swappable angel and demon weapons, set in a surreal Limbo city that warps and twists around you. It pairs a punk attitude and satire of media and consumerism with a pounding soundtrack.

Castlevania: Rondo of Blood

Jumping and platforming

A classic, demanding Castlevania action platformer where you whip your way through Dracula's domain as Richter Belmont. Hidden routes, the rescuable Maria as a playable character and a superb soundtrack make it a cult favourite.

Silent Hill 3

Dread and tension

Heather is dragged into a nightmarish otherworld where a mall, a subway and a hospital rot into rust, flesh and blood. Disturbing imagery, Akira Yamaoka's oppressive soundtrack and cryptic puzzles carry the game, while clumsy, desperate combat keeps every encounter tense.

Ugly

Jumping and platforming

A dark puzzle-platformer set in an eerie fairy-tale palace, where swapping places with the protagonist's reflection is the key to solving puzzles, beating bosses and uncovering secrets.

South of Midnight

Distinctive, stylised art style

A linear action-adventure through the American Deep South where Hazel, a Weaver, battles folklore creatures and mends the broken stories of haunted souls. Its stop-motion-inspired look and soulful Southern soundtrack make it stand out.

Blasphemous

Melee combat with weapons or fists

A brutal Metroidvania in gorgeous pixel art that twists Spanish Catholic iconography into a nightmarish world of guilt and penance. Tight parries, gory executions and plenty of hidden secrets define the Penitent One's journey.

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Fantasy setting

A compact 2D pixel-art Metroidvania platformer where you play the priestess Kaho, fighting through a decaying kingdom with quick melee combos, dodge rolls and tough boss duels. It focuses on tight combat and a gloomy mood rather than heavy character building.
