The Pathless 1v3148

Developed by the same team behind the incredibly beautiful Abzu, giant squid, The Pathless expands the studio's ability to create visually stunning worlds and adds dynamic and fun gameplay. 

The Pathless is, fundamentally, an artistic puzzle platformer style game that closely resembles classics such as Ico e Rime. However, contrary to Abzu, the game has a clear narrative with a similar evil force wishing to unleash darkness upon the world. 

The game differs from its peers in its innovative concept of how the character, an audacious archer, moves through the wide scenarios. To keep moving forward, you can draw the bow and shoot many targets in the world, which constantly increase your energy meter and make the character move faster in a very fluid way.

The Pathless already has a free PS5 update for those who got the PS4 version. From the comparison videos, the game benefits from the power of the new console with faster loading, as well as an exclusive stable frame mode that makes the game look more beautiful and clean. In addition, the tactile responses of the control Dualense make the experience of using a bow and arrow much more immersive. So, if you have the opportunity, try the game on PS5 as well.

Even if, at first glance, The Pathless follow the “cake recipe” of so many other indie adventure and exploration games, the game provides a unique visual and gameplay experience. Not to mention that you will probably be able to complete it during a gaming session, but the memory of the game will stay in your mind for a long time.

descenders q113h

Too much adrenaline. In descenders, No More Robots, the player has to go down a mountain by bicycle, and on the way do different maneuvers to score. The idea is not new and you can even say that this is a consolidated genre in the video game industry. However, the particularities of this game make it like no other and make it surprisingly fun.

The circuits of descenders are procedurally generated, which means that no race will be the same. This, mixed with the game's feeling of great speed, requires the player to care more about learning to recognize patterns and increase their reflexes than memorizing pre-established tracks, as is common in racing games.

descenders It has a third and first person view. The latter can be a little confusing at times, but it adds considerably to the thrill of riding a bike at high speeds through lush landscapes. By the way, the visuals are another strong point of the game. A great choice for those who like extreme sports.

Available: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch e PC.

Amnesia: Reborn bk5f

If you're a fan of horror games, you've certainly heard of (or had the opportunity to play) of Amnesia: The Dark Descent. This classic was responsible for the resurgence of the horror genre in the world of indie games, so the sequel, Amnesia: Reborn, had huge expectations to fulfill. And, judging by the amount of screams that you will let out with this title, it can be said that Amnesia: Reborn, Frictional Games, was successful.

The successor to the horror classic uses the same basic mechanics to keep the player tense with every step taken and with their hair standing on end! You have to make your way through dark, cramped corridors with no way to directly combat the abominations that stalk you. However, unlike the original, Amnesia: Reborn takes the series to even more disturbing places.

The hideous, noisy monsters lurking in the corners of your vision are visually horrible. However, their behavior does not present any new surprises. Many of the more tense chases through cluttered caves and ruins seem to involve a formula of trial and error. The best strategy to escape the creatures involves running, hiding and praying very hard!

A Frictional Games masters the art of creating tension using imagery, music, level design and sound mixing. Plus, the breathtaking rewards of the story of Amnesia: Reborn are also worth going through this frightening ordeal. His ability to marry deeply personal and relatable fears with cosmic terror makes Amnesia: Reborn one of the most effective and mind-blowing horror games of all time, just like its predecessor. 

Available: PlayStation 4 e PC.

Unknown to many, Aquanox: Deep Descent is the fifth entry in the underwater exploration series originally developed by Massive Entertainment for Windows and currently in the hands of digital arrow. The game has a very simple FPS mechanic that allows the player to explore an intriguing world.

Aquanox: Deep Descent is set in the distant future, where humanity has been driven to live under the sea due to a world war. The player enters the skin of Kaelan, an explorer who is recruited by the mercenary captain of a massive submarine and, before long, has to deal with a conflict with a destructive pseudo-religious faction. While the plot can be interesting, the characters unfortunately don't have any charisma that can hold the player's attention.

As an FPS, Aquanox: Deep Descent works in a fun way, with the player can control different types of underwater ships with different weapons. Combat mixed with underwater exploration is a successful combination. The game also has a PvP multiplayer mode and a cooperative one.

The game must keep you engaged for 13 or more hours to get through the story. In addition, the deep-sea environments are impressive and the minimally functional story manages to create a satisfying experience.

Available: PC and with a release yet to be announced for PlayStation 4 e Xbox One.

In each scenario, dishes are ordered from the players, who will have time to prepare as much as they can. In preparation, the tasks range from cutting food, putting it to bake or ing it with other ingredients. As time goes on, more dishes are ordered at a time, and the complexity varies from the simplest to the most complicated, and you have to be careful not to let any dish delay.

Scenarios also have their own levels of complexity. It is common that in some levels parts of the benches change places, or some areas are temporarily inaccessible, and everything becomes more and more complex and, of course, fun. At the end of each level, the performance is measured in stars according to the score achieved with the delivery of the dishes.

It is essential that each player organizes himself to perform his own functions, as it is easy for confusion to settle in the arena. However, with the confusion comes, of course, the fun. Overcooked! 2 is a typical game that puts friends to fight.

Overcooked! 2, distributed by Team17, has local and online multiplayer for up to four players.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince 6g4826

The Trine franchise, from Frozenbyte, is well known for its two-dimensional platforming fantasy tales and stunning visuals. Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince, the latest game in the series, has even more puzzles and requires a lot of creativity from players to solve them.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince is a game designed to be played in cooperative multiplayer (for up to four people), but also allows for single-player gameplay — allowing character switching at any time. The story is light and can be played by the whole family.

Puzzles require each player to think hard about the ways to solve them, and one good thing is that there is no single way to win the game. During the campaign, it is common for enemies to appear to change the pace of the game a little, and in any case it is essential that the unique powers of each character are used together to overcome the proposed challenges. It's a fun, beautiful game that yields a good few hours of gameplay.

Recently, the Frozenbyte announced that Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince will receive additional story content — there will be six new stages, with the promise of challenging each player to use the acquired skills to the fullest. The DLC comes to Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince still in 2020 on PC, while for consoles it will only arrive in 2012. At the moment, the game (and the entire series) is on sale.
