Yakuza Kiwami 2

Dark, serious atmosphere

This remake of a Yakuza classic tells a serious crime drama about Kiryu and the Tojo clan across the nightlife districts of Kamurocho and Sotenbori. Heavy brawling is balanced by absurd side activities, and the Majima Saga adds a second playable character.

Yakuza Kiwami

Lots of humour

The remake of the first Yakuza follows Kazuma Kiryu through the red-light district of Kamurocho: a serious crime drama contrasted by absurd side activities and heavy-hitting brawls.

Brütal Legend

Lots of humour

Double Fine's love letter to heavy metal: as roadie Eddie Riggs (Jack Black), you fight with axe and guitar through a fantasy world built from album covers and lead your metal army in real-time strategy stage battles. It's carried by sharp humor and a legendary metal soundtrack.

Grand Theft Auto III

Dark, serious atmosphere

The landmark that took GTA into 3D: as a silent criminal you climb the underworld of grim Liberty City, stealing cars, running jobs for mob bosses and causing mayhem whenever you like. Satirical radio stations and the freedom of its open city made it the template for the entire sandbox genre.

Lost Judgment

Dark, serious atmosphere

A detective action-adventure set in modern Yokohama and Tokyo: you work a dark murder case tied to bullying and justice, tail suspects, solve small puzzles and brawl through crowds with fluid combat styles. Quirky side activities add plenty of variety.

NieR

Dark, serious atmosphere

A bleak action RPG about a father who will do anything to save his sick daughter. It mixes hack-and-slash, bullet-hell and text-adventure moments, carried by a moving story, multiple endings and an outstanding soundtrack.
