Here we go!įire Emblem: Awakening is perhaps the game that, ahem, reawakened the tactical role-playing franchise, but it is Fire Emblem: Three Houses that represents a masterful culmination of the series. We wanted to present a list that represents how games have forged an ever more intimate relationship between the player and the experience. Some of them represent wider shifts in gaming culture in the last decade, including esports, games as a service, representation, streaming, and the rise of indies. Most of these games either significantly advanced the art and craft of game design in the past 10 years, or innovated in the specific context of their genre. Most importantly, this list represents games that Polygon’s team members have enjoyed playing the most, and still admire. It is, by its nature, a compromise, but it’s the best we’ve got.įor criteria, we gave ourselves a lot of latitude. After we tallied the votes, we gathered together to sort out the unholy mess, and to argue the merits and faults of the top 150.Īfter a surprisingly calm and erudite discussion, we agreed on the following list. Then we individually voted for the 50 we most wanted to see in the list. We began with a long list of around 300 games that team members nominated. You know how these things go, so we’ll keep the explanation brief.
Thanks.As this extraordinary decade draws to a close, we decided it was time to make a list of the 100 best games of the past 10 years.
Download it while it's free-you never know when developers put a price tag on it.Ĭan you tell me where I can find Dungeon Nightmares 2 online or download it? I would be very glad if it wasn't a demo. You can download the free version from OwlCave’s website or pay just $2.99 and download the special edition featuring wallpapers, soundtrack, and a special copy of a horror novel. The surprise ending is what makes it worth the download. There aren’t any gory monsters to confront, but several sequences will leave you flabbergasted. Certain events within the game will leave you wondering about the objects and people around you. It’s subtle, gloomy, and has those tense moments to keep you glued to your monitor. The game is not for those who prefer an outright scare-fest. It takes place in a creepy train and has those horror novel moments to keep you at the edge of your seat.
Sepulchre is a free PC horror game with point-and-click mechanics. Finding room models isn’t easy, as the manor has plenty of hidden chambers and trapdoors. A room materializes when the associated miniature model is added to the scale model. You will need to find these model rooms by finding hidden trapdoors and other secret areas and add them to the scale model in the puzzle area.
The miniatures are part of a series of frustratingly difficult puzzles. Upon entering the doomed mansion, you will find miniature pieces of each room scattered here and there, among other oddities. There’s no plot, but I can safely say that it lets you play the role of an adventurer, probably a ghost hunter who wants to uncover the hidden secrets of Kraven Manor.
The atmospheric horror game lets players explore a huge manor full of secrets and a puzzle room. You can download this free horror game on your PC via IndieDB’s page. It was developed by a team of Southern Methodist University students. Developed using the Unreal engine, the game was actually a college project before it hit the indie gaming scene. Any player’s first reaction would be “I can’t believe this game is free." The Amnesia-like gameplay and brilliant 3D visuals will make you forget top horror games for a moment.
