5: SHOGO: Mobile Armor Division
Made as an homage to Japanese mecha anime, SHOGO: Mobile Armor Division was the third game of Monolith Productions, of FEAR and Gotham Impostors fame. While SHOGO is not really a simulation, the game is such an enthralling love letter to all things giant robots that it has to be featured here. The player will be tasked with missions both on foot and in a giant, transformable robot. Everything from the sound effects to the character tropes is heavily inspired by giant mecha anime, and a sheer joy to behold.
