#21 Ad Infinitum

• Developer: Hekate
• Publisher: Nacon
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
• Release date: September 14, 2023

This first-person psychological horror game takes inspiration from titles like the controversial Shellshock series. Ad Infinitum places you in the role of a German soldier during the first World War. Subject matter such as PTSD is explored through a horror game lens, with delusions and flashbacks featuring horrific creatures and unexplainable occurrences. Players must overcome their fear and dig through the grim death traps and creatures to uncover some sinister truths. 

#20 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

• Developers: Sumo Digital, VSS Inc.
• Publishers: Gun Media
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S
• Release date: August 18, 2023

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is an asymmetrical multiplayer game based mostly on the original film. The developers recreated the film’s locations as accurately as possible while ensuring different playstyles remain viable. While the locations and stalker family remain the same, the cast of teenage victims is comprised of entirely new faces. As expected in a cat and mouse style of game, stealth is one of the central mechanics both the stalkers and victims will need to use. This includes hiding in shadows. However, both sides are able to interact with light sources, dynamically altering potential safe zones. Survivors are out to complete objectives to free from their captors while the family must slaughter them in their tracks.

#19 Exoprimal

• Developer: Capcom
• Publisher: Capcom
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
• Release date: July 14, 2023

Exoprimal is what happens when you mix Left 4 Dead and Dino Crisis with a smattering of futuristic mech suits. It features an AI director that is similar to Left 4 Dead‘s dynamic system. The game difficulty and objectives can dynamically shift depending on how players are performing in a match. The main difference stems from the fact that the AI director in question is a tangible character within the universe, known as Leviathan. Each of the exosuits fall under one of three archetypes — support, tank, and assault. Work with your team, save humanity from deadly creatures, and stop your opponents from completing their objectives first.

#18 Minecraft Legends

• Developer: Mojang Studios, Blackbird Interactive
• Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, PC
• Release date: April 18, 2023

Developed by Mojang Studios itself, Minecraft Legends takes the pixelated block building franchise in a new direction. Whereas Minecraft Dungeons was a Diablo-like dungeon crawler, Minecraft Legends is a real-time strategy game. Its take on the genre appeals to a wider audience with its more action-focused design. Rather than commanding squads of units from an overhead perspective, players take direct third-person control of a leader. Luckily, Minecraft Legends offers both co-op and competitive multiplayer modes. The nature of its visual style means we have another PS4 game that will more than satisfy consumers without a PS5.

#17 Atomic Heart

• Developer: Mundfish

• Platform: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, X/S
• Release: February 21, 2023

Picture a 1950’s where in the Soviet Union humans and robots were able to live in peace. Hard to picture, right? But in Atomic Heart, it was a reality, for a time at least.

Now, the robotic beings have turned against their masters and are trying to wipe out humanity! You are sent into the city to try and complete a “secret mission” and that means you’ll have to overcome literally everything that happens to be “alive” in there. It’s not just robots though, mutants from other ‘special projects’ have been released, and you’ll need to use a special power glove and a variety of armaments to get out alive.

#16 Octopath Traveler 2

• Publisher: Square Enix
• Developer: Square Enix
• Platform: PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4
• Released: February 24, 2023

The original Octopath Traveler title helped set the stage for all the 2.5 HD titles that have come since. So it’s only fitting that the game that started it all would get a true sequel.

Octopath Traveler 2 is set in a new world, and will feature eight new characters with very different stories to tell. From a dancer wanting to bring joy to the world, to a scholar seeking vengeance on the man who ruined his life, to a cleric trying to find her lost memories, all will be told here.

What’s more, the game is promising not only even more refined graphics, but more interaction between the 8 heroes than we got in the first game. Add that to a familiar yet fun battle system and you have quite the thrilling experience.

#15 Diablo IV

• Developer: Blizzard Entertainment, Vicarious Visions
• Publisher: Blizzard Entertainment
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
• Release date: June 5, 2023

There are many reasons that fans have loved Blizzard’s hack-n-slash series over the years. But one of the biggest ones is the customization options you have.

In Diablo IV, you won’t just pick the class you want to play. You’ll slowly be outfitting them with weapons, armor, and abilities that will help you conquer the forces of light and dark.

Just when you think you have everything you need, something else might pop up and change how you look at the game and your enemies.

Plus, you won’t have to destroy enemies alone! You can make a party with friends and use your unique builds in a united way to take out everything in your path.

The Alien franchise’s transition into gaming has been hit or miss since its inception. For every Alien: Isolation and and Alien vs Predator, there’s an Aliens: Colonial Marines. Aliens: Dark Descent is the latest take on the classic film series, taking a vastly different approach from the past several games. This is a strictly singleplayer action game with strategy elements introduced through its squad system. Each squad member must be micromanaged, ensuring you watch over their health, resources, and sanity. If you fail to take care of a squamate, they could potentially suffer from a mental breakdown. Squamates can also be permanently killed making it more of a challenge to keep everyone alive.

#13 RoboCop: Rogue City

• Developer: Teyon
• Publisher: Nacon
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5m Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Microsoft Windows
• Release date: June 2 November 2023

Your move, creep.

Robocop is back, and one could argue that he’s better than ever. RoboCop: Rogue City will put you in the trenches of Detroit, and it’ll be up to Alex J. Murphy to dish out the justice to the criminals out there and ensure the safety of the innocent.

You will get to choose how to display that justice though. With your Auto-9 pistol, you can go and wipe out crime, or stick to the letter of the law. Just know that corruption can affect a being such as Robocop, so make sure you do the best to serve the spirit of the Prime Directives, else be no different than the criminals you stop.

• Publisher: Bungie
• Platforms: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4
• Release date: February 28, 2023

The tagline for Destiny 2 Lightfall is “the end begins here”, and that’s not something you want to hear when you’re the good guys trying to stop evil from spreading across the system.

The Witness is here, and they’re not alone. You’ll go to a special cyberpunk city on Neptune and do what you can to work with your fellow Guardians and stop any plans from going down.

• Publisher: IllFonic
• Platforms: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC
• Release date: October 18, 2022

Asymmetrical multiplayer games are all the rage nowadays. With that in mind, few intellectual properties are better for this brand of competitive gaming than Ghostbusters. Four players take the role of the titular ghostbusters, meanwhile the fifth player controls each stage’s ghost. For fans of the film series, Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed‘s story is considered canon, taking place after Ghostbusters: Afterlife.

• Release date: August 10, 2023

Overwatch 2 is the sequel to Blizzard’s successful hero shooter, with a PvE element added in to give players some story missions. While not quite the full on campaign mode some were hoping for, it still promises to move the Overwatch story forward. However, the downside stems from the fact that Overwatch 2 will outright replace Overwatch. This leaves those that prefer the original’s larger team size with no options. With that said, this is a free-to-play so you can enjoy this game right out of the gate with your friends.

• Release date: March 24, 2023

Does the Resident Evil 4 Remake have zombies in it? Technically, no. The “zombies” in the game are actually monsters created by a virus that has mutated them beyond recognition, which is why we’ve gotten numerous “monsters” throughout the franchise.

After all, this is the game with Leon S. Kennedy at his finest while on a mission to save the President’s daughter. Plus, you’ll love using Leon’s various tools and weapons to take down these infected people and creatures.
