10. Beat Cop
11bit Studios already has quite the repertoire with titles like This War of Mine and the more recent Frostpunk. This new point and click adventure kind of follows the same formula. Beat Cop plays with equally difficult themes, revolving around the story of a disgraced cop on his way to redemption.
Play as Jack Kelly and experience his living hell as a suspected murderer with an annoying boss and a horrible domestic life. Despite the darkness of its themes, Beat Cop has a nice, living world to immerse in. Its environments seem meticulously detailed, from its clean HUD to the streets themselves, lined with moving cars and interesting passersby.
With all that, Beat Cop is still a free game and as such, it doesn't quite close in on the immersion because of its lack of voice acting. Still, it's Jack Kelly's life is a life worth seeing though, with a score of 8.14.
9. The Frostrune
Grimnir Media's adventure takes us far away from the brutal reality of Beat Cop. Instead, we're taken to the mysterious world of Viking mythology. Shipwrecked and marooned into an unknown island, you find yourself in an abandoned settled with only ancient runes and burial mounds for the company.
Frostrune depicts its world in 2D illustrations that capture quiet isolation, and also the burgeoning of something intensely magical. As a point and click adventure, it's a bit slow on the uptake. It might be a little lacking for some, but worth the patient investment for others.
It's a unique adventure that shows off its ingenuity with its puzzles, and also its creativity with its Old Norse dialogue that takes us fully to their realized spirit world. It has a playscore of 8.47.

It's a sci-fi trope that's been made many times before but it homes in on the genre with an atmosphere built on stylistic visuals and eerie soundtracks. While that’s nice and good, what completes The Silent Age experience is still its engaging puzzles and compelling storyline.
The game has been out for a while, and there are two episodes for you to get lost in. With each one brimming with just the right amount of tension to make you want answers to the many questions it raises, it rightly deserves its playscore of 8.64.
