3. Gibbon: Beyond the Trees

PS5PS4

Gibbon isn’t trying to be the next big thing. And it doesn’t have to with its heartfelt story about apes and their habitat. The jungle setting is breathtaking and it makes swinging from vines and running from branch to branch so much more satisfying.

A new kind of horror awaits in this next chapter of the terrifying Amnesia series. It takes place in a derelict World War 1 bunker.

6. MotoGP 23

The biggest triple-A game this June. Square Enix’s prized RPG promises a brand new world to explore and a story as riveting as its predecessors. Now with fast-paced character- action combat, Final Fantasy will never be the same. This evolution is a welcome change for the series. Let’s hope Clive’s story lives up to our expectations!

PCPS5Xbox Series X|SPS4Xbox OneSwitch

A virtual reality horror game takes place on a radio station. Play as a local DJ and jam to 80s music while you run away from a mysterious killer. While it is a horror game, it does lean more toward the campiness of old-school slasher movies.

18. Gunfire Reborn

If you’re a Persona fan, you’ll love Loop8. This coming-of-age JRPG borrows concepts from ATLUS’ series. Namely its turn-based combat and visual novel design. What sets it apart is the time-travel gimmick which can alter the story and your choices.

21. Nocturnal

PCPS5Xbox Series X|SPS4Xbox OneSwitch

Nocturnal’s 2D design can be easily mistaken as a Castlevania or Dead Cells clone, but it’s more than that. There’s no procedural generation. Everything is designed with a goal in mind. The gameplay is anchored by a unique storyline about a foggy world. Use the embers to cleanse all evil.

22. Bleak Sword DX

The hilarious sequel to Destroy All Humans! will pester humanity once again. This time on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. Reprobed is still the same game, where you invade the human race in crazy ways.
