God Of War 2018 caused quite a stir in the gaming community. The story of Kratos took a new turn, with significantly improved graphics, and introduced the son of the god of war — Atreus. The developers promised that the journey wouldn't end there, and four years later, the narrative continuation, God of War: Ragnarok, was released.

The events of this game take place a few years after the last part. A now older Atreus wants to learn more about himself and his true identity. Kratos must support his son on this challenging journey and deal with his old enemies: Freya and Odin.

You will travel across the nine Realms, ultimately bringing a terrible disaster upon Asgard — Ragnarok. Along the way, you'll meet new characters, reunite with the blacksmith brothers Sindri and Brok, acquire new weapons, and play as Atreus.

Demon’s Souls

This game is a remake of the 2009 Demon’s Souls by FromSoftware, known for providing players with a fiery experience and teaching them the mechanics of parrying. Dark Souls, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Elden Ring, along with Demon’s Souls, are milestones of hardcore gameplay for the strong-willed.

The game is set in the kingdom of Boletaria, ruled by King Allant XII. He used a soul summoning ritual, turning Boletaria into a prosperous state, but also incurred the wrath of a demon and a fog that began to spread across the world.

You will take on the role of a brave warrior, undaunted by the fog and searching for the lost kingdom. Unfortunately, you will be defeated at the beginning of the game, but eventually, you will wake up as a soul and set out to exact revenge on your foes.

Elden Ring

This game, at its time, was a real breakthrough. Elden Ring is a classic souls-like RPG. You create your character at the start, then, in mere trunks and a helmet, you set off to explore the world, gather equipment, and fight bosses of all shapes and sizes.

The story here is minimal and is mostly pieced together through dialogues and item descriptions. Queen Marika once abolished predestined death, and now the inhabitants of The Lands Between cannot die on their own. This is all due to the Elden Ring – a magical item that combines several great runes.

Like other souls-like games, you'll encounter various bosses and mini-bosses, numerous challenging battles, and limited saves and resources. In short, it's perfect if you like to significantly complicate your life.

Horizon Forbidden West

In 2017, the game Horizon: Zero Dawn was released, garnering numerous awards for its original plot, visuals, and soundtrack. In 2022, we received the continuation of Aloy's story.

Now, we travel west to discover what happened in another part of America. This journey won't be safe: ahead are huge aggressive machines and tribes of dangerous natives.

Half a year passes between the events of the first and second game. Aloy returns as the protagonist, equipped with an extensive arsenal of weapons and abilities. Also, in this part, you can explore the underwater world where you can't fight and must rely solely on stealth.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

The adventures of special agent Leon Kennedy in a remote Spanish village, searching for the president's daughter, succinctly describes the plot of the fourth part of Resident Evil. According to players, it's the best episode of the franchise, and fans eagerly awaited the remake of the 2005 game.

In March 2023, Resident Evil 4 got its remake, which immediately topped the sales charts. Essentially, it's the same 2005 game but with a list of minor changes. For example, Leon's knife now has durability but has become much more useful, there are fewer QTEs, and the crafting assortment has expanded. However, the story remained unchanged, and beloved characters are still in place.

Mortal Kombat 11

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is a direct sequel to the 2019 game and the nineteenth installment in the series. Although playing shooters on a gamepad is not everyone's cup of tea, the game has been well-received by the audience, mainly due to its vivid characters.

The game's plot starts three years after the events of the previous part. Captain John Price assembles "Task Force 141", which includes Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, Sergeant John "Soap" MacTavish, and Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley. Their mission is to stop Iranian Major Hassan Zyani from destroying several U.S. cities.

Dead Space

Another horror game, but set in space, is the remake of the cult classic Dead Space. With improved graphics on the latest version of the Frostbite engine, new sound effects and visualization, revamped gameplay, and an expanded storyline, this is a real find for fans of the 2008 game.

This game will appeal not only to fans of the original series but also to those who love movies like Alien, horror, and other scary stuff. Expect screamers, body horror moments, and an oppressive atmosphere of constant pursuit. Initially, the main character must fend off threats using only the tools he has.
