The Best Steam Games You Absolutely Can’t Miss!

Bringing you Steam games that I’ve personally tried and are worth playing.

1. Simulation Management

Two Point Hospital

For those who love simulation games, I highly recommend Two Point Hospital. Build your own hospital, set up different departments based on patient symptoms, hire and train doctors, nurses, and janitors, and strategically place decorations and coffee machines in the hallways to maximize efficiency and profits—while avoiding bankruptcy.

One of the most entertaining aspects of this game is the hilarious radio broadcasts that perfectly capture the mindset of a capitalist, as well as the satisfaction of watching bizarre patients go from diagnosis to recovery.

The game’s tutorial consists of completing objectives in different hospitals, but you don’t need to aim for a three-star rating—one or two stars will do. After completing all the levels, try building your own private hospital (naming it after a childhood hospital can make it even more fun!).

💰 Price: ¥158 (Discounted: ¥40~50)
💾 Storage Space: 6GB

2. Colony Simulation

Oxygen Not Included

A hardcore, highly engaging, and challenging game. Despite its adorable characters and clean art style, it involves complex survival mechanics and requires a broad knowledge base.

Beyond just oxygen management, you’ll have to address food supply, electricity, sanitation, technology, temperature control, sleep schedules, morale, stress, and more. This 2D game requires strategic task assignments and room construction to optimize different functions while continuously upgrading technology.

From growing mealwood for food and setting up outdoor latrines, to establishing self-sustaining water filtration systems, hydrogen-based oxygen production, and temperature control—every step requires careful planning.

New players may struggle with understanding machinery, pipe connections, and external environmental threats (chlorine gas, polluted oxygen). Mastering the game means restarting and loading saves many times. But once you successfully launch a rocket at the end, the sense of accomplishment is immense!

💰 Price: ¥58 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 2GB

3. Parkour & Exploration

Ori and the Will of the Wisps

A single-player adventure similar to Fire and Water Boy & Girl, but vastly different in execution.

Stunning visuals, creative and challenging boss fights, progressively evolving skills and weapons, perfectly matched background music, and a well-crafted storyline make this an unforgettable experience. Every frame is wallpaper-worthy, and every level is a journey of emotional cleansing.

While Ori 2 expands on Ori 1 with a larger map, more side quests, and varied gameplay, it also delivers a deeper message—if the first game is about motherly love, the second beautifully portrays friendship and environmental themes. A true masterpiece worth playing.

💰 Price: ¥90 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 20GB

4. City-Building Simulation

Cities: Skylines

The core of this game is road construction. Players must plan cities, establish industrial zones, provide residents with utilities, and build schools, police stations, hospitals, and more.

While it has a learning curve (guides on Bilibili and Zhihu can help), once you master it, you’ll find yourself spending dozens—if not hundreds—of hours immersed in city planning.

This game teaches real-world urban planning principles while offering immense satisfaction as you expand and optimize your city. For a better experience, mods from the Steam Workshop and DLCs like Industries and Green Cities are recommended.

💰 Price: ¥88 (Discounted: ¥20~40)
💾 Storage Space: 4GB

5. Life Simulation

The Sims™ 4

During my university years, this game allowed me to experience countless “firsts”—marriage, job hunting, promotions, buying a house, and raising a baby.

Unlike Cities: Skylines, which focuses on city development, The Sims 4 revolves around personal growth. Character customization, home design, and AI interactions make it incredibly fun. Most importantly, it lets you briefly live a life you might not experience in reality.

Although the base game is under ¥100, expansion packs can cost thousands of yuan, significantly enhancing gameplay.

💰 Price: ¥198 (Discounted: ¥40~90)
💾 Storage Space: 16GB

6. Action Storytelling

Bright Memory: Infinite

A compact but well-crafted Chinese action game. You control Shelia, a futuristic special forces soldier, fighting various enemies to prevent a black hole catastrophe.

Although the game is short (about 2 hours), it delivers satisfying combat with a mix of weapons and techniques. The final boss is the biggest challenge, but overall, the game offers a smooth and thrilling experience for FPS fans.

💰 Price: ¥48 (Discounted: ¥30~40)
💾 Storage Space: 13GB

7. Adventure & Puzzle Solving

Little Nightmares

A fantastic game with a slightly creepy atmosphere. Its horror elements come from grotesque bosses and eerie environments (such as cabins, hospitals, and schools). Not recommended for those who scare easily or lack patience!

Despite its unsettling visuals, the game tells a deep and thought-provoking story. The tension between childhood innocence and monstrous greed makes for an emotional experience.

The core gameplay involves solving puzzles, escaping enemies, and working together with Six, your tiny companion. The ending is mind-blowing, proving that great games can transcend entertainment and inspire deep reflection.

💰 Price: ¥78 (Discounted: ¥30~40)
💾 Storage Space: 8GB

8. Strategy & War

Sid Meier’s Civilization® VI

One of the greatest turn-based strategy games ever made. You control an empire, expand territories, deal with barbarian tribes, manage resources, and choose different paths to victory.

I personally enjoy Religious Victory (spreading my faith worldwide) and Domination Victory (conquering all AI cities with my army).

This game is incredibly complex—an average match can last 7–8 hours, and it takes dozens or even hundreds of hours to truly master. The key to replayability is the ever-changing geography and civilization choices. Multiplayer mode adds another layer of strategic depth.

DLCs significantly enhance the game, and seasonal passes often go on sale, making them a worthwhile investment.

💰 Price: ¥199 (Discounted: ¥30~60)
💾 Storage Space: 12GB

9. Tower Defense Strategy

Kingdom Rush Origins

A legendary tower defense game! Many people played the KR series on mobile, and this is arguably one of the best TD experiences available.

Players strategically build different towers (archers, cannons, mages, barracks) and control heroes and spells to stop enemy waves. The main campaign and side quests are polished, and the game’s visuals and combat are incredibly satisfying.

I highly recommend heroes like Wilbur the Inventor and Faust the Dragon Mage. Some tough levels require trial and error, adjusting tower placements based on enemy types.

💰 Price: ¥50 (Discounted: ¥30~40)
💾 Storage Space: <1GB

10. Survival

The Forest

Recommended by a friend, I didn’t expect to get so hooked. At first, I struggled—afraid to explore caves, unsure how to find food, and lost on the vast map. But step by step, I learned to survive, eventually turning the game into a sandbox builder. I started focusing on interactions with the cannibals and creatures, collecting rare weapons, and constructing grand structures using god mode.

Sometimes, I envy the protagonist—running freely and fearlessly through the forest. While single-player is fun, I highly recommend playing with friends for a more hilarious and immersive experience.

💰 Price: ¥70 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 5GB

11. Underwater Exploration

ABZÛ

I call this the “Lost Atlantis” of gaming—a simple, meditative underwater exploration game. The mechanics are easy: follow the guidance, swim, and explore.

What amazed me the most was the breathtaking visuals, capturing the vastness and beauty of the ocean. Drifting with the currents, surrounded by countless unknown fish, interacting with marine animals, and riding whales, swordfish, and sea turtles—it’s a mesmerizing experience. If you see a sunfish, try riding it; the name is hilariously accurate.

My favorite part? Observing the ancient murals and texts on the stone walls, feeling connected to a lost civilization. The soundtrack is also fantastic. I recommend playing this game to relax and appreciate the beauty of nature and the ocean.

💰 Price: ¥68 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 6GB

12. Simulation

Writer’s Life

A creative and engaging Chinese indie game where you play as a novelist. You’ll write books, exercise, work part-time, travel, and sleep—balancing your life while crafting novels that match market trends.

The most satisfying part? Grinding away to increase your savings, gain fans, and enhance your skills—until you finally land a contract with a publishing website and move into a better home.

It’s a fun way to kill 2–4 hours, but the gameplay can become repetitive, turning you into a soulless typing machine. I hope the developers add more interesting characters and mechanics in future updates.

💰 Price: ¥15 (Discounted: ~¥10)
💾 Storage Space: 1GB

13. Mystery & Investigation

Unheard

A rare gem among Chinese detective games! The visuals are simple, but the gameplay is unique—you rely entirely on sound to solve cases. By playing back recordings and listening to conversations, you unravel mysteries piece by piece.

Unlike reading a detective novel or watching a crime drama, this game places you in an omniscient investigator’s role, piecing together the truth from different perspectives.

Each case takes around 20–30 minutes to solve, challenging your ability to process information and think logically. As the cases progress, the relationships between characters become more complex. The NPC voice acting is also quite amusing.

💡 Recommended DLC: The Black Masked Goddess

💰 Price: ¥38 (Discounted: ≤¥20)
💾 Storage Space: 2GB

14. Horror & Puzzle

Paper Dolls: Original

A good horror game should have well-placed clues, tight level design, and unique elements that set it apart. Paper Dolls nails all three.

Set in a haunted Qing Dynasty mansion, the eerie soundtrack, ghostly footsteps, and terrifying characters create a spine-chilling atmosphere. The goal? Find personal belongings of the deceased, seal their spirits, and escape the nightmare.

I have a love-hate relationship with this game. The puzzles, decorations, and story are incredibly engaging. But even as someone with an average fear tolerance, I screamed countless times while playing. Whether it was the blood-stained warrior, the eerie lady, or the sudden jumpscares from the maid, my heart rate was constantly spiking.

🔹 Pro tip: Memorize the map! Getting lost while being chased is a death sentence.
🔹 Want an S-rank? Try nightmare mode, limit your saves, minimize deaths, and collect all clues.

💡 Buy Paper Dolls 2 for the full story experience.

💰 Price: ¥58 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 3GB

15. Puzzle Adventure

Machinarium

A timeless classic! This decade-old puzzle game still holds up today. You play as a small robot, solving puzzles, collecting items, and navigating a mysterious mechanical world.

The journey is filled with emotions—excitement, frustration, joy, and awe. The puzzles are challenging yet rewarding, the art is beautifully hand-drawn, and the humor is subtle but effective. The soundtrack is also fantastic.

Some puzzles can be tough, like the color-coded dials, arrow puzzles, and gobang (five-in-a-row). Be prepared to use your brain!

💰 Price: ¥58 (Discounted: ¥10~20)
💾 Storage Space: 1GB

16. Adventure & Sailing

FAR: Lone Sails

A short yet deeply emotional journey. With no dialogue and minimal guidance, this post-apocalyptic game combines atmospheric storytelling with light puzzle-solving.

The visuals, music, and intricate vehicle mechanics make for a unique experience. At first, you might feel lost, but as you progress, you’ll master how to repair your vehicle, solve environmental puzzles, cross rivers, and enjoy stunning sunsets.

This game allows you to embrace solitude, reflect on humanity’s connection to nature, and momentarily escape life’s worries.

💰 Price: ¥50 (Discounted: ¥10~20)
💾 Storage Space: 3GB

17. Narrative Exploration

Firewatch

Life is full of failures, frustrations, and pain—but in the end, we must face reality and move forward. Firewatch conveys this message beautifully.

The game follows a fire lookout exploring the wilderness, uncovering the truth behind a mysterious incident. The cartoon-like art style sets it apart from hyper-realistic games like The Forest.

🔹 Highlights:
Walkie-talkie interactions make exploring feel more immersive.
Emotional ending—photos taken throughout the journey are displayed as a final memory.
Great soundtrack that enhances the storytelling.

💡 Caution: If you get lost easily or feel dizzy in 3D environments, this game might not be for you.

💰 Price: ¥76 (Discounted: ¥15~25)
💾 Storage Space: 4GB

18. Survival & Management

Frostpunk

“Mankind’s greatest strength is its courage in the face of disaster.” This quote from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure perfectly describes Frostpunk.

As a leader in a frozen apocalypse, you must manage resources, assign jobs, enact laws, and ensure your people survive in -100°C conditions.

The game is tough—not just in terms of resource management but in the moral dilemmas you face. What sacrifices are necessary for survival? The ending forces you to reflect on these choices.

🔹 Pro tip: Stockpile coal and steel! They are crucial in the late game.

💰 Price: ¥108 (Discounted: ¥30~50)
💾 Storage Space: 8GB

19. Dark Puzzle Adventure

Inside

A grim yet artistic puzzle game similar to Little Nightmares. You’ll encounter terrifying enemies—water ghosts, dogs, and relentless pursuers—while navigating eerie environments.

The game’s oppressive atmosphere, unique puppet-based puzzles, and trial-and-error gameplay make for an unforgettable experience. Most players finish in 5–6 hours, but every moment is gripping.

💰 Price: ¥68 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 3GB

20. Ocean Survival

Subnautica

If I had to pick my favorite ocean-themed game, it would be Subnautica. This open-world survival game immerses you in an alien ocean, where you gather resources, craft equipment, and uncover deep-sea mysteries.

Exploring unknown marine life, building an underwater base, and piloting massive submarines—I always find peace and excitement in this game.

💰 Price: ¥99 (Discounted: ¥30~50)
💾 Storage Space: 20GB

21. Management & Simulation

Planet Zoo

For animal lovers and zoo enthusiasts! Build and manage your own zoo, ensuring animals and visitors thrive.

The level of detail is astounding, and the animal POV mode offers a unique perspective. Watching your zoo grow and flourish is incredibly satisfying.

💰 Price: ¥180 (Discounted: ¥30~70)
💾 Storage Space: 16GB

22. Apocalypse Survival

7 Days to Die

I consider 7 Days to Die to be an incredibly addictive game that combines the thrill of survival with intense zombie action. The core of the game revolves around scavenging for materials, crafting weapons, and building defenses to survive the relentless onslaught of zombies.

What I love most about this game is the sense of progression. You start with nothing and gradually improve your base, weapons, and skills. The waves of zombies get stronger as you level up, keeping the tension high. It’s all about resource management and strategic planning—don’t just build a fortress, make sure you have the right weapons to defend it!

The multiplayer mode adds another layer of fun. Playing with friends, coordinating defense plans, and supporting each other during zombie attacks makes for an exciting experience.

💰 Price: ¥78 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 15GB

  1. Space Exploration
    Elite Dangerous

Elite Dangerous is a space exploration game that feels like an open-world adventure on a galactic scale. What sets this game apart is its vastness. You can travel to hundreds of billions of star systems, each with its own planets, moons, and space stations. It’s an experience of exploration, trade, piracy, and even deep space combat.

One of the standout features is the realism of space travel. You’re not just clicking to jump from one place to another—you’ll need to plan routes, manage fuel, and navigate the cosmos using realistic space travel mechanics. The level of detail in the ship models and the vastness of the galaxy is breathtaking.

The multiplayer aspect allows you to interact with others, whether you’re teaming up for missions or engaging in dogfights in deep space. The immersion is intense, and every journey feels unique. If you’re looking for a space game that challenges your skills and lets you feel like you’re truly exploring the stars, Elite Dangerous is an incredible choice.

💰 Price: ¥250 (Discounted: ¥60~80)
💾 Storage Space: 20GB

24. Hong Kong Horror Genre

Hong Kong Horror Chronicles

The last game that scared me out of my wits was Paper Man 1. But after that initial shock, the sense of achievement and satisfaction you get from completing levels or tasks is what makes it worth it. Perhaps that’s the charm of horror games—they help you reach new levels of bravery. Compared to Paper Man’s Qing Dynasty mansion style, this game, as its name suggests, is deeply infused with Hong Kong elements. Whether it’s the classic old architecture or posters straight out of Hong Kong films, or the hauntingly beautiful Cantonese opera that plays in the background, I think it really captures the essence of Chinese horror games. The puzzles aren’t too hard, but the eerie, dim environments, the constant dripping sound from the ceiling, the frightening BGM suddenly playing while searching for clues, fighting bosses, and rescuing Jiahui, do make it quite a challenge. Brave souls might want to give it a try!

💰 Price: ¥56 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 15GB

25. Hacker Puzzle Genre

Public Enemy Online

There’s a saying about hackers that’s quite vivid—”there seems to be an umbilical cord between the computer and their soul, which is why when they’re in front of a computer, they become giants.” If you’re curious about the world of hackers, this game offers a unique experience. You play as a hacker who takes on company tasks, using endless hacker skills like accessing databases, infiltrating systems, cracking passwords, and more. With all the clues you gather, you’ll eventually uncover the truth behind the events. The plot is complex, immersive, and filled with clues, requiring good reasoning skills and the ability to catch every detail. The internet holds no secrets, and the importance of cybersecurity is something I kept thinking about as I played. Highly recommended!

💰 Price: ¥58 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 3GB

26. Military Strategy Genre

Total War: THREE KINGDOMS

A true man is born in chaotic times, and with a three-foot sword, should strive for immortality. If given the chance to build an empire in the Three Kingdoms period, would you lead your generals and strategists to unify the world? The Three Kingdoms series is well known, and in this game, you play as a ruler trying to expand your territory through diplomacy or war, recruit heroes, manage the internal affairs of your land, and make your faction grow. One of the game’s key features is the chance to personally experience the thrill of commanding in battle. With so many factors—troops, formations, terrain—you’ll discover what makes ancient generals exceptional through your own experiences. You can eliminate the Yellow Turban army, form alliances, recruit famous generals, and even change history. However, be mindful of the butterfly effect of history! The game requires a high-end computer setup and offers a challenge that rivals other strategy games like Civilization VI. Highly recommended for Three Kingdoms fans!

💰 Price: ¥268 (Discounted: ¥90~130)
💾 Storage Space: 60GB

27. Construction and Management Genre

Prison Architect

After watching many prison-themed movies, I realized that prison wardens are often very memorable characters. I still remember the cool warden played by Zhang Jin in Kill Zone 2, who was both tough and caring, and the corrupt warden from The Shawshank Redemption. This game lets you step into the shoes of a warden. You’ll design and manage a prison—setting up cells, dining halls, hiring guards, and even conducting surprise searches. Though you might feel tempted to punish the inmates after seeing their criminal records, the real question is whether the prison’s goal is to reform these criminals or just to profit. Does society believe that these individuals deserve a second chance?

💰 Price: ¥90 (Discounted: ¥20~40)
💾 Storage Space: 1GB

28. Racing Genre

Forza Horizon 4

As an outstanding racing game, Forza Horizon 4 offers two ways to play. First, for those seeking intense racing, you can drive the perfect car on various tracks, refining your skills to perfection, and racing to beat your computer, other players, and even yourself. Second, you can play casually, taking in the beautiful scenery of the sunset, the rain, and calming background music while driving, enjoying the serenity. For the most immersive experience, it’s best to play with a controller or a steering wheel. Highly recommended for racing fans!

💰 Price: ¥188 (Discounted: ¥60~80)
💾 Storage Space: 80~100GB

29. Strategy and War Genre

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

This strategy game is quite different from Civilization VI. It’s a true classic in the gaming world, offering diverse gameplay, beautiful graphics, and unique buildings from different civilizations. As a player, you can relive the legendary moments of history, raise powerful armies, and battle AI or multiplayer competitors. This game holds a special place in my heart—playing it again years later made me realize how fast time flies. Age of Empires II is more than just a game for me; it’s a piece of my youth. Highly recommended for strategy fans!

💰 Price: ¥99 (Discounted: ¥60~70)
💾 Storage Space: 43GB

30. Souls-like Action Genre

Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice

As the 2019 Game of the Year at TGA, Sekiro’s legendary status is no surprise. The difficulty is intense, and many players joke that the best thing they gained from it is learning how to write the word “death” in Japanese! With boss battles and elite enemies that require multiple attempts to conquer, this game demands perseverance. But it’s also a visual treat—exploring the beautifully designed map and landscapes, coupled with innovative combat mechanics like deflecting, where you focus on stances rather than health. This is a game that teaches resilience, embracing death as a samurai philosophy. If you’re up for a challenge, this is a must-try.

💰 Price: ¥268 (Discounted: ¥134)
💾 Storage Space: 25GB

31. Farm Simulation Genre

Farm Together

If a long day of study or work leaves you exhausted, I recommend this farm simulation game where just 10 to 15 minutes of planting and harvesting can bring you joy. In this cute game, you play as a farmer, growing crops, raising animals, planting trees, and building houses while completing various achievements. With a little time each day, you’ll watch your barren farm transform into a thriving, prosperous one. The system where you can hire workers is a great time-saver. What’s interesting is that this game has a hardcore element: different crops and fruit trees can only be planted or harvested during certain seasons. Of course, the most fun part is playing with a good friend, farming and working together. For those who love simulation games, don’t miss out on discussing strategies and money-making tips. After achieving financial freedom with money and diamonds, I added entertainment facilities like a football field, ice hockey rink, shooting range, maze, and racetrack to enrich the farm’s content, as well as multi-layered tracks for easy transportation.

💰 Price: ¥76 (Discounted: ¥30~40)
💾 Storage Space: 6GB

32. Action & Story Genre

Red Dead Redemption 2

Why are some games referred to as the “ninth art”? What makes them so captivating? I believe it’s because they offer us a chance to temporarily escape our mundane lives and experience a different, exciting, legendary, passionate, or mysterious life. Red Dead Redemption 2 achieves this brilliantly. It’s no wonder it’s one of the top ten most expensive games in history. With realistic graphics, meticulously crafted storylines, lifelike action design, cinematic perspectives while traveling, countless tasks and challenges, well-rounded character development, and a rich animal world, it feels like you’re really living in the early 20th-century American West, as a free but bound wild cowboy.

Among the countless memorable moments from this game, there are so many—like taking little Jack fishing to cheer him up, rescuing a kidnapped German and bringing him back to his family, secretly delivering a love letter, going to a mansion to rescue Jack, dominating a poker table with Strauss, saving John in prison with Sadie via a hot air balloon, chasing a pickpocket who stole my wallet, teaching a widow how to survive, having a drunken night with Lenny, burning down a tobacco field, or a group of cowboys in awkward suits attending a mayor’s banquet…

As we progress through the missions, we learn about Arthur’s tragic past, witnessing his growing doubts about Dutch’s increasingly radical views. Yet, for the gang, Arthur remains the go-to guy for everything. Hunting, making money, collecting debts, saving people—Arthur is always there, because the gang is his greatest support in an otherwise turbulent life. Initially, I approached the missions with excitement, but as Arthur’s health deteriorates, I began to feel sadness. So, when encountering strangers in need, I try my best to help, as if doing good in the remaining time could somewhat redeem past wrongs. Perhaps that’s why the game is called “Redemption.” Living in the moment, helping others, and feeling at peace with oneself—that’s the lesson I took away. What did you learn from playing this game?

Although I didn’t always talk about him… I truly miss him.

💰 Price: ¥279 (Discounted: ¥90~100)
💾 Storage Space: 150GB

33. Action & Casual Genre

Brotato

This game is quite addictive. The core gameplay involves selecting different characters, upgrading skills, collecting items, and using either ranged weapons for shooting or melee weapons for hacking. To survive twenty waves of enemies, you must learn how to maximize the economy you collect to strengthen your survival. The gameplay is pretty varied, as each character has different abilities, leading to different weapons and item strategies, thus creating multiple playstyles. It’s perfect for short, 20-minute sessions, so I recommend everyone give it a try.

💰 Price: ¥22 (Discounted: ¥10~20)
💾 Storage Space: 1GB

34. Horror Adventure Genre

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard

I’m a big fan of the Resident Evil movie series, and this is my first time diving into the horror game series. As Roosevelt once said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” But even with a strong mental preparation before playing, I was still scared by the character designs, the gruesome visuals, and the eerie sound effects. But beyond the horror elements, it’s essentially a treasure hunting and escape game. The normal difficulty will take around 8-10 hours to complete. I’d recommend it only to those who aren’t likely to have nightmares after playing Resident Evil 7. Enjoy the “warm welcome” from your in-laws, wife, and brother-in-law.

💰 Price: ¥123 (Discounted: ¥30~50)
💾 Storage Space: 24GB

35. Team-based Shooter Genre

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

CS needs no introduction—everyone knows it’s one of the top-tier shooting games. Excellent shooting mechanics, a variety of maps, and diverse gameplay modes are why this game remains enduringly popular and highly praised. Every time I play CS, I remember the days in elementary school when we’d finish our computer class assignments, and the boys would set up rooms to play in teams, guns blazing—such an energetic time. Those brief 10-minute rounds were the highlight of our week. I recommend CS to pay tribute to that youthful, carefree time.

💰 Price: Free
💾 Storage Space: 15GB

36. Adventure Action Genre

Rise of the Tomb Raider™

This is a high-quality AAA adventure game that lives up to the expectations of Tomb Raider fans. You play as Lara Croft, heading to Siberia to uncover the secrets of a lost city and thwart the conspiracy of the Trinity organization. Whether it’s the beautifully crafted scenery, the smooth action design, or the cleverly placed puzzles, this game shines in every aspect. What left the biggest impression on me is that although this is a linear game, it has a semi-open world feel. You can hunt, collect resources, and upgrade Lara’s skills. Parkour, combat, and puzzle-solving are seamlessly integrated into the experience. I believe fans of Tomb Raider or even newcomers will enjoy the fun this game provides.

💰 Price: ¥160 (Discounted: ¥50~100)
💾 Storage Space: 25GB

37. Strategy Escape Genre

The Escapists 2

I’ve previously recommended a prison construction game, but this one offers a very different take on prison gameplay. You control a prisoner, outwitting the guards, traveling through rooms, opening workbenches, collecting materials, and crafting tools necessary for escaping. The game has rich maps, diverse gameplay, well-designed facilities, and staff, along with a charming art style. Plus, you can collaborate with friends to escape, with multiple escape methods on each map. Highly recommended for strategy lovers.

38. Story-Driven Action Genre

DEATH STRANDING

For players with the patience to keep going, this game is a work of art; for others, it might feel like torture. You play as Sam, a deliveryman, but what sets him apart is that he’s making deliveries in a world where humanity teeters on the brink of life and death. On the surface, it’s about transporting desperately needed supplies to different regions, but at its core, it’s about forging connections between people, reuniting a fragmented world, and achieving true unity. When you traverse mountains and rivers, break through the MULEs’ blockades, and finally deliver the goods, there’s a unique sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that other games can’t replicate. The adorable BB, Mads Mikkelsen’s charisma, stunning visuals, soothing music, terrifying BTs, and the haunting Death Stranding beach setting all combine to make this game incredibly rich and playable. Plus, the ability to interact with other players to some extent is a delightful touch. In short, this is a game that demands you slow down and savor it. It was a huge surprise to learn after watching The Walking Dead that the protagonist is none other than “Daryl” (Norman Reedus)—mind blown!

💰 Price: ¥198 (Discounted: ¥90~100)
💾 Storage Space: 80GB

39. Mischievous Fun Genre

Untitled Goose Game

This is a game that brings back childhood memories. As kids, most of us had a flaw: we loved to cause trouble. But under our parents’ guidance, we gradually learned it wasn’t a good thing. The cost of growing up might be losing that simple, carefree joy—unique to kids—that comes from pulling pranks. In this game, you play as a mischievous, human-like goose, trying out different ways to annoy the townsfolk. Watching them get frustrated yet powerless gives you a strange sense of triumph from the chaos you’ve caused. “I’m so bad I want to toss myself into a pot and become roast goose,” is a thought that popped into my head often while playing. Recommended for players who love pranks and want to recapture a bit of that childhood spirit. The full achievements in the garden and pub sections are, in my opinion, the toughest parts—truly a race against time.

💰 Price: ¥70 (Discounted: ¥30~40)
💾 Storage Space: 1GB

40. Fishing Story Genre

DREDGE

A ten-hour deep-sea journey left me deeply moved. The dual-ending setup caters to different player preferences: do you sacrifice yourself, tossing the Book of the Deep back into the ocean to save a darkness-tainted sea, or summon the Deep Sea Lord to revive your wife, dooming innocent villagers in the process? Sometimes, letting go and moving on is the better choice. This game carries a Lovecraftian vibe—by day, you can fish happily and earn money, but at night, you’ll face terrifying dangers. (That said, higher risks mean bigger rewards: the rougher the waves, the pricier the fish.) Following the main storyline, you’ll visit various islands, complete tasks, catch all sorts of fish and materials, earn cash to upgrade your boat, rod, and engine, and fulfill requests from different characters. Unlocking all achievements while satisfying your fishing itch is incredibly rewarding. Though small in scope, its thought-provoking story details, unique and polished visuals, and diverse fish and landscapes make it highly engaging. Recommended for fans of cosmic horror and fishing games. The Frozen Realm DLC adds a lot of replay value and feels like a fair addition.

💰 Price: ¥110 (Discounted: ¥80~90)
💾 Storage Space: 2GB

41. Horror Adventure Genre

Little Nightmares

This horror game has an incredibly strong sense of immersion. I played the second installment first before coming back to this one, and it still delivered a ton of surprises. You play as Six, a little girl in a yellow hood, escaping a cruise ship ruled by hunger—dodging long-armed janitors, chefs, and ravenous guests, and ultimately defeating the ship’s ghostly overlord. Little Nightmares sticks to its signature dark style, with eerie visuals and haunting music creating a terrifying experience, yet its cleverly designed levels offer a hefty sense of achievement once you conquer them. The theme of losing oneself to hunger reminded me of Spirited Away. Perhaps the developers are warning us not to let our desires consume us, lest we lose who we are. It takes about three to five hours to complete—perfect for puzzle game fans with a brave streak.

42. Simulation Raising Genre

Volcano Princess

Sometimes a game is more than just a game—its depth and the insights it offers transcend the medium itself. The standout feature here is its gorgeous hand-drawn art style: warm, detailed visuals paired with beautiful, uplifting music that perfectly matches the storytelling. Set in a medieval Western town, you play as a single father raising your daughter to adulthood. Along the way, you lead by example while guiding her through key life decisions—choosing classes, careers, and even a partner. Annual festivals, diverse activities, and charming NPCs greatly enrich the experience. Beyond daily lessons, your daughter can work or perform to earn money, plant crops in the fields, or team up with friends for combat trials in the forest. Watching her grow from a curious kid asking adorable questions to an adult making her own choices about career and family felt like I’d completed a life trial called “Fatherhood”—complex emotions mixed with immense pride. Grades aren’t what parents should focus on most; instead, it’s about giving kids love, encouragement, and guidance to become strong, independent, happy, empathetic, and compassionate people. A solid, complete set of values is the greatest treasure in a child’s life.

43. Story-Driven Mystery Genre

The Wolf Among Us

An eight-hour mystery journey that completely flipped my view of fairy tales. In this dark, magical fairy-tale town, the Big Bad Wolf, once a notorious villain, is now a righteous sheriff; the “heroic” woodsman originally planned to rob Little Red Riding Hood’s grandma; Beauty and the Beast can’t let go of their lavish past and are drowning in debt; and a ribboned girl sacrifices herself to save others cursed to silence. In this twisted society, everyone hides secrets to satisfy their own desires, and right and wrong aren’t always clear-cut. You play as Sheriff Bigby Wolf, working with deputy mayor Snow White to investigate Princess Faith’s death, gathering clues, chatting with fairy-tale residents, and fighting criminals as a werewolf to uncover the truth and bring the town’s mastermind to justice. Realistic visuals, rich and authentic characters, subtle expressions, fitting background music, and a stellar story make this a top-tier mystery game. The best part? Most of your choices trigger unique dialogue and plot branches. Figuring out what Bigby truly wants to protect deep down shapes how you play. A must-play for mystery buffs and fans of dark fairy tales! You can download a Chinese patch online to help with understanding.

44. Adventure Exploration Genre

AER Memories of Old

A game you can finish in about three hours, yet it delivers big surprises. Three things drew me in: first, the protagonist can transform into a bird and soar through the sky—once you get the hang of it, flying feels so relaxing. Second, the abstract art style is vibrant and stunning, with beautiful landscapes and temple designs full of dynamic lines. Third, exploring and solving puzzles in the temples offers a light but satisfying challenge. You play as a flying pilgrim, traversing a vast, unknown world, delving into majestic, mysterious ancient temples, uncovering the Creator’s relics, and defeating the Void boss to free people’s hearts and help them reclaim themselves. It’s small but worth a playthrough.

45. Zombie Shooter Genre

Left 4 Dead 2

A zombie shooter that’s been a hit for over a decade, the Left 4 Dead series practically pioneered the genre. You play as one of four survivors, either solo or with friends online, using guns, melee weapons, and throwables to fight through hordes of zombies and mutated infected to reach designated escape points. The story is straightforward, focused on survival, with NPC dialogue providing clues to your next destination. Multiplayer teamwork, creative workshop mods, smooth shooting and melee mechanics, and well-designed mutants and maps keep it endlessly replayable and timeless. Grab some friends and dive into this thrilling, gory, and challenging survival adventure! For newbies, navigating the maps might be a bit tricky.

46. Adventure Combat Genre

Hollow Knight

Like Ori, this adventure-exploration game is one I both love and hate. Its levels, action, story, and music are all top-notch, but Hollow Knight stands out with a deeper world and narrative, plus tougher, more hardcore map traversal and combat. Losing money upon death and respawning at benches can be a headache. You play as a fledgling bug knight, starting in Dirtmouth, exploring a vast underground kingdom, leaping through diverse terrains, witnessing the peak of bug civilization, and defeating bizarre insect bosses to unravel ancient mysteries and fulfill your true mission. Patience is key to overcome repetitive navigation and combat deaths—only with late-game gear and skill improvement does the difficulty feel manageable. Dozens of hours of exploring, fighting, and collecting left me torn. I love it for the breathtaking Blue Lake and the flower-filled Queen’s Gardens, where I’d linger, captivated by the scenery; I hate it for the frustrating layouts of the White Palace and Deepnest, plus brutal bosses like Grimm, the Colosseum trials, and the Radiance. Recommended for challenge-lovers who won’t give up easily. Want to beat it? Practice makes perfect. The joy of finally conquering a boss after countless tries is indescribable.

47. Story-Driven Action Genre

Middle-earth™: Shadow of War™

As a Lord of the Rings fan, resisting this Middle-earth game was impossible. Technically a prequel, it beautifully fleshes out the world and story of the Rings. Dark Lord Sauron covets Middle-earth, the Witch-king and Nazgûl lurk in the shadows, and ally Celebrimbor pursues his own selfish goals. Under this pressure, some fall to darkness, becoming Sauron’s slaves or betraying humanity, while others cling to noble resolve, defending Middle-earth and mankind. You follow the main story as Talion—shared by human and elf spirits—making deals with Shelob, battling orcs and Nazgûl to grow stronger, building an army, storming Mordor, and defeating Sauron. The meticulous visuals, unique combat, witty dialogue, and exceptional story hooked me most: no one can resist the Ring’s corruption, yet Talion proves that a heart yearning for light can hold the line for decades, buying time for the humans and dwarves in the original tale. The ending is tragic yet moving—I believe he finds redemption in the end. You can play as Talion, an elf, or a human to progress the story.

48. Post-Apocalyptic Story Genre

Metro Exodus

My first dive into the Metro series blew me away with its unique theme, story, and semi-open map design—it shot straight to the top of my list. Hailed as a “ninth art,” Metro sparked deep thoughts about humanity. In hopeless times, some turn to superstition, others to violence and lies for control, yet some unite for a faint glimmer of a future, surviving on bonds worth dying for. Its depth lies in finding light in pitch-black despair and warmth in a cold, ruined world. Playing as Artyom, I felt immersed, fighting desperately to complete missions from the colonel and comrades, hoping everyone survives—no monsters, no betrayal, no war, no radiation. You’re a taciturn soldier, riding a train with the Rangers through a nuclear-ravaged wasteland, exploring Moscow, the Volga, the Caspian, and taiga forests to uncover Moscow’s lockdown and find a new home. The terror is intense with tons of mutant monsters, but the stellar story, detailed (sometimes overly so) dialogue, rich combat, and moral choices affecting the ending left a lasting mark. Unforgettable and tear-jerking. Anna’s gentle, caring nature must be everyone’s dream wife!

49. Story-Driven Adventure Genre

A Plague Tale: Innocence

If you’re not trypophobic or terrified of rats, this story game is well worth a try. Set during the Black Death’s rampage through Europe, it oozes medieval vibes and prompts reflection on religion and humanity. You play as Amicia, fleeing the Inquisition with your gifted younger brother, dodging swarms of black rats. Their journey awakens their abilities and builds a bond of trust, culminating in defeating the Grand Inquisitor, ending the plague, and finding peace. When religion serves personal greed, exploiting blind faith for power and profit, it becomes a tool of oppression. The game’s detailed settings, fitting music, and attractive siblings shine. Two things stood out: stealth gameplay kept me on edge, and I felt the brother’s growth—like stepping into Amicia’s shoes, evolving from frustration to pride, boosting my own sense of responsibility and empathy. The difficulty is moderate, puzzles are fun, and full achievements are fairly easy to unlock.

50. Adventure Survival Genre

Shelter 2

I absolutely adore this game with its oil-painting-like visuals. Though it offers little guidance, you can still grasp its storyline. You play as a lynx mother, giving birth to four beautiful, adorable cubs after pregnancy and striving to hunt and raise them. My first playthrough was full of regret—winter hit, rabbits were scarce, and my first cub seemed to starve; then a wolf pack took my second and third cubs. In the end, I could only raise my last cub, Little White. When it grew bigger than me and softly called out, as if bidding farewell, a wave of melancholy washed over me. The joy of a smooth birth, the care in naming them, the satisfaction of watching them feast after my first successful hunt, the sorrow of losing them to accidents, the surprise of their first hunt, and the loneliness of being left alone—this immersive atmosphere made me feel like I’d lived the life of a lynx mother in nature. A tribute to my own mother and all the hardworking moms raising their kids.

51. Ocean Survival Genre

Raft

A super fun ocean survival game, perfect for solo challenges or group enjoyment. At first, it’s overwhelming—sharks harass and attack you, and primitive tools make gathering resources a chore. But once I settled in and figured out the gameplay—landing on islands for supplies, crafting spears to fight sharks, diving for metal scraps, making bows to take on bears, and upgrading tech for better tools—the fun really kicked in. As survival pressure eased, I shifted focus to building and designing my ship. I never expected to raise llamas, goats, and bees onboard, or achieve self-sufficiency with farming. As the main story unfolds, discovering blueprints lets you craft advanced tools, automating watering, smelting, and sailing. I recommend progressing the story and solving puzzles while decorating and upgrading your ship—it’s a winning combo that makes everything more efficient. Playing with friends is ideal; splitting tasks lowers the difficulty and workload, amplifying the fun. Compared to Subnautica, Raft has less high-tech flair but offers more building freedom—each shines in its own way. My meticulously designed three-story ocean cruiser fills me with pride!

52. Modern Sniper Genre

Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2

This is a highly challenging first-person shooter set in modern warfare. You play as Raven, a special forces sniper, navigating Middle Eastern battlefields solo to complete national missions. Diverse modern weapons, realistic and gory battlefield visuals, a top-tier sniping experience, and amusing mercenary banter give this shooter a unique charm. The best part? Nailing a target from a kilometer away with one shot to complete a mission. The toughest? Sneaking or fighting through mercenary patrols to reach your sniping spot. If you’re a military buff or dreamed of being a sniper as a kid, this hardcore, professional game will likely satisfy you.

💰 Price: ¥119 (Discounted: ¥20~30)
💾 Storage Space: 20GB

53. Zombie Story Genre

Dying Light

The renowned Dying Light series is a household name, and when it comes to top-tier zombie games, it’s a standout. Can’t fight zombies? No problem—treat it like a parkour game. Not into parkour? Grab a weapon and slug it out with the undead. The main story is excellent, side quests are plentiful, diverse zombie types and the thrill of nighttime survival ramp up the appeal, and the thick, unique post-apocalyptic vibe pulls you right in. Living up to its zombie-apocalypse masterpiece title, it’s immersive enough for dozens or even hundreds of hours. Perhaps its core goal is to keep hope alive, saving as many survivors as possible, letting players glimpse humanity’s shining light amid a chaotic end-times world. Rescuing trapped survivors mid-parkour is a pretty joyful bonus!

54. Historical Story Genre

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

This game is all about realism and immersion. You start as a blacksmith’s errand-running son, growing through the pain of losing your parents and town friends to join a civil war shaping the nation’s fate. Among medieval-themed games, its story is exceptionally rich. Follow the main quest or dive into varied side missions to experience medieval life. Grand castles and armies, highly detailed landscapes and architecture, realistic character progression, and hardcore yet fair design make it mature and replayable. But its complex realism can make exploration tricky—checking guides is often the smart move. Medieval story fans should give it a shot.

54. Mythical Action Genre

God of War

A stellar blend of exploration, puzzles, and wild combat. As a former Game of the Year winner over Red Dead Redemption 2, its stellar story and vast world are key successes. Kratos, once a ruthless slayer of Greek gods, becomes a stern father guiding his son Atreus, with an emotional arc adding warmth to the tale. But the series’ hallmark remains its unmatched combat—every axe swing, parry, and cinematic finisher is a treat for action fans. “Don’t be sorry, be better”—Kratos’ stoic yet memorable lines linger. May you too conquer the Norse realms and revel in battle bliss with this series.

55. War Strategy Genre

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

A top-tier open-world medieval war game, Bannerlord outshines Kingdom Come with richer gameplay. Lead armies to crush bandits and conquer cities, or marry a lord’s daughter and dominate the political stage. In Mount & Blade II, you can pursue nearly any ambition from that era. Stunning visuals, immersive battlefields, and unique dialogue design make it addictive and thrilling.

56. Campus Simulation Genre

Two Point Campus

Following Two Point Hospital, this game brought me plenty of surprises. Switching from hospitals to campuses keeps the replay value high, and the whimsical course offerings—like cheeseball, magic, and knight classes—carry over the series’ wild creativity. The art style and character designs remain hilariously cute, and the constant quirky announcements are full of charm. Play through levels or build your dream school from scratch in sandbox mode. My only gripe? It’s still new, so discounts aren’t steep yet—worth grabbing when the price drops more.

57. Simulation Building Genre

Timberborn

A fascinating game that swaps humans for clever, creative beavers as protagonists. Attention to detail is key—keeping beavers thriving long-term requires careful planning of the area, water storage, food, and tree placement, with droughts adding challenge. Vibrant visuals, adorable beavers, and pleasant music make it a gem for simulation fans. The beginner tutorial is short, though—check online video guides for the quickest mastery and best experience.

58. Action Shooter Genre

Far Cry® 5

“Everyone has their stance—in an unjust, chaotic society, some inevitably want to tear it all down and build anew. Differing views, escalating conflicts, and frequent bloodshed can drive things insane.” You play a rookie deputy, rallying teammates to fight a cult and free the people. Opinions on the story vary—some dislike the ending or hallucination segments—but I find it replayable with solid shooting and melee, American rural vibes, diverse wildlife, and fun hunting and fishing. Still, Far Cry 3 and 4 remain the series’ most acclaimed—try those if you’re intrigued.

59. Survival Building Genre

V Rising

I’ve always been obsessed with vampire media like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries, and this vampire game delivered heaps of joy and surprises. After 20 hours of exploration, I set a goal to build a grand, opulent castle—100 hours flew by. You awaken as a vampire, roaming a vast map to gather materials, craft machines to upgrade gear, and defeat increasingly tough humans and monsters for stronger abilities. Smooth combat, dazzling magic and skills, and lore-true vampire weaknesses (sunlight, silver, garlic, holy light) add authenticity. Builders will love crafting a lavish castle. I still recall the thrill of wolf-form leaping, the shock of finding a 100% blood-quality human, the relief of beating Engineer Ziva, the awe of summoning a witch from a tomb, and the satisfaction of my first servant bond. I played solo, not online—solo players should max out resources and boost attack multipliers for the best experience. My castle, inspired by a Bilibili creator, brought immense pride brick by brick.

60. Anime Story Genre

Marco & The Galaxy Dragon

One of my top two anime-style games—I didn’t skip a single scene, enjoying it like a binge-worthy show, filled with joy, shock, and emotion. Highlights: stunning visuals rivaling anime, with slick transitions; a powerhouse voice cast boosting the story and characters; hilarious, absurd lines; and unforgettable characters like the cool, cute, friendship-valuing explorer Marco, the gruff-yet-warm, ultra-protective Galaxy Dragon Arco, the masochistic Cretaceous hoping to be bullied into strength, the brash Tonsuguro placated by a cola cake, and the rich-but-powerless sister Terra. My favorite line? “Sometimes the treasure hunt isn’t about owning it—seeing its beauty and uniqueness is enough.” Recommended for a 7-8 hour dive into a slightly flawed but visually perfect, character-driven, voice-acted gem. Who could resist a dragon that threatens to eat you but dies protecting you?

61. Puzzle Adventure Genre

Rusty Lake Hotel

My first Rusty Lake game, starting with Hotel, felt like uncovering a gaming treasure. Clever, challenging puzzles, the series’ signature cartoon style, and a deep, connected ending make it irresistible. You play a waiter hosting five animal guests, fulfilling their requests while secretly offing them in their rooms to craft dishes from their remains—a dark “Last Supper” vibe. Each guest’s quirks and demise stand out: Mr. Deer loves Bloody Marys and dies by poison, magician Mr. Rabbit falls to his props, electric-obsessed Mrs. Pigeon meets her end in a tub. The series’ quirky grossness is just part of its charm—embrace it. The names of the five three-star dishes alone whet my appetite!

62. Puzzle Adventure Genre

Rusty Lake Paradise

A prequel to Hotel and arguably the origin of the Rusty Lake saga. The story follows a family sacrificing the protagonist to preserve Paradise Island, only for his mother to take his place, turning him into Mr. Owl. Each chapter themes around Egypt’s Ten Plagues, with trickier puzzles, more bugs, and a darker, weirder vibe. Progress requires keen item connections and back-and-forth between scenes. Memorable moments: a brother turning into a mosquito to suck a rabbit’s heart, a grandma whisked away by a giant mantis after blowing a horn, an uncle’s heart swapped for clock gears. Rusty Lake fans shouldn’t miss this challenging gem—Mr. Owl’s origin story!

Subnautica: Below Zero

I’ve played both Subnautica games, and while the sequel doesn’t match the first’s brilliance, it’s still a solid survival title. The focus shifts from deep-sea to land exploration, slightly missing the mark on oceanic mystery fans’ expectations. This time, you’re not escaping solo via rocket but aiding an alien mind in your head to rebuild its body, uncovering your sister’s clues, and fleeing via an alien ship. Innovations like a train-like vehicle, capturable penguin babies, and stereos with records liven up your base. I’m excited for Subnautica 3. My painstakingly built base is a joy to wander!

64. Tower Defense Strategy Genre

Plants vs. Zombies GOTY Edition

An undeniable childhood classic—I played the web version as a kid, bought the full game as an adult, and completed all achievements. Classics shine for a reason. The five iconic scenes and now-adorable plants and zombies rekindle early PC gaming joy. Normal levels are easy, but endless mode and the puzzle mode’s zombie and vase endless stages test luck and reflexes. Relive some childhood nostalgia with this timeless gem! Corn cannons, ice melons, fume-shrooms, and pumpkins forever!

65. Dinosaur Building Genre

Jurassic World Evolution 2

As a dino fanatic, I’d give this game a perfect score—it fulfills my dream of running a Jurassic Park. Master the basics in story mode, then jump to sandbox for free building. The dinosaur roster is vast—terrifying T-Rexes and raptors, gentle herbivores like triceratops and diplodocus, and massive mosasaurs leaping for food like in the films. For the best visitor experience, I added train tracks, jeeps, and gyrospheres, plus shops and shelters. Rare dinosaur breakouts threaten guests, but I’m minimizing that with gene tweaks and extra patrols. Dino fans, give it a try!

66. Horror Puzzle – Creepy Tale 2

A dark fairy tale game that surprised me with its eerie charm. Unlike the whimsical nature of Andersen’s stories, Creepy Tale 2 takes a more realistic, grim, and terrifying approach. You control a boy navigating through dangers and traps to rescue his father and sister.

The core concept is that a dark force captures boys, implants cocoons inside them, and once fully nurtured, the hatched butterflies can control monsters—eventually ruling the forest. The game features beautifully hand-drawn artwork and well-designed puzzles: a witch who uses children’s flesh as ingredients, a deceptive owl inn that tricks travelers, and a piano puzzle requiring musical knowledge. Highly recommended for those who enjoy dark fairy tales.

💰 Price: ¥37 (Discounted ¥10–15)

67. Cyberpunk Story – Cyberpunk 2077

Following Red Dead Redemption 2, Cyberpunk 2077 was another game that completely immersed me. After nearly 70 hours, Night City became a second home in my gaming memory—every time I think of it, an indescribable nostalgia washes over me.

I followed V, the best mercenary in Night City, met incredibly well-developed characters, and experienced touching, tragic, and thrilling moments. Sure, you can complain about frustrating achievements or clunky driving mechanics, but you can’t deny that Cyberpunk 2077 tells an unforgettable mercenary’s tale.

V’s journey was more than just about fixing his consciousness problem. It was about justice, respect, and redemption. At first, I was focused on making money for better cyberware and luxury cars. But soon, I found myself exploring every corner of Night City, collecting tarot cards, and taking on missions to make the city feel more alive.

Out of the four endings, I chose the Sun ending—I wanted V to become a legend of The Afterlife.

68. Psychological Puzzle – Insomnia

A small but uniquely themed puzzle game centered around insomnia. Each chapter explores different aspects of sleeplessness—counting sheep, hearing noises despite closed eyes, the urge to check your phone, reminiscing about the past, and fears about the future.

Although I’ve never suffered from insomnia, this game made me truly understand the frustration of those who do—the struggle to sleep while being overwhelmed by endless thoughts. A game that makes you reflect on the impact of stress and mental fatigue. Wishing everyone peaceful, restful nights.

69. Adventure Platformer – LIMBO

If I had to rank the top three most challenging platformers, I’d pick Hollow Knight, LIMBO, and Ori.

With a black-and-white aesthetic and an unsettling atmosphere, LIMBO creates an eerie depiction of what hell might look like. You’ll encounter monstrous spiders, mind-controlling plants, gravity-defying puzzles, spinning saw blades, and electrified pipes—death lurks at every turn.

Unlike Hollow Knight and Ori, the protagonist in LIMBO has no skills or upgrades. The only way to progress is through trial and error—learning from each death.

I wanted to challenge myself to beat the game with less than five deaths, but even knowing all the traps in advance, minimizing mistakes proved extremely difficult.

💰 Price: ¥36 (Discounted ¥3.6)

70. Action Survival – Palworld

One of the most talked-about games of early 2024, Palworld has sparked both controversy and excitement. Some criticize it for potential copyright issues, some call it a Frankenstein of different games, and others complain about its lack of storyline and repetitive late-game content.

But for me, Palworld was a joy to play. It blends elements from Ark (base-building), The Forest (survival mechanics), and Pokémon (creature capturing and battling). When a game combines multiple ideas well, it becomes a success.

Who wouldn’t love soaring through the sky on a dragon from a volcano to a snowy peak? Watching your Pals work hard at farming, cooking, and crafting? Breeding rare creatures with perfect traits? Designing and decorating a grand estate from scratch? Or teaming up with friends to share the adventure?

Yes, Palworld has flaws, but its gameplay depth and fun factor are undeniable.
