Editor's Choice! 3 games you should play even if they're not on sale!
First, we will introduce some recommended titles that did not make it into this ranking data, but which our editorial team can confidently say "you will definitely not regret it at this price."
[1] Atomic Heart
A Soviet retro-future FPS full of madness and aesthetics
This action RPG is set in a fictional 1955, asking, "What if Soviet science and technology had made extraordinary advances?" The world view, depicted with a unique aesthetic sense, is impressive, but the reality is a dystopian world that has been turned into hell by a robot rebellion.
The appeal of this game is the beautiful graphics and"A unique sense of tension"You can enjoy the game just by following the story, but if you're confident in your action skills, you should definitely try the hard mode. The absurdity of a mannequin-shaped robot with a mustache attacking you with a drop kick after a mad dash, and the resulting deadly battle, can only be experienced in this game.
[2] Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven
An ideal full remake filled with love for the original
The classic RPG "Romancing SaGa 2" has been remade in 3D without losing any of the quality of the original. Rather than making strange changes, it remains completely faithful to the original while combining modern graphics with ease of play."Orthodox evolution"It is a masterpiece.
The biggest feature of this game is the "Free Scenario System," where the player's choices shape history. The bosses and plot developments change depending on the order in which you play, so you're sure to have fun talking with friends, asking, "How did you beat that part?" or "Huh, I didn't know that development!" This game is recommended for those who want to carve out their own saga, woven solely by their own choices.
[3] ChronoArk
A deck-building roguelike masterpiece that combines storytelling and strategy
This game beautifully combines Slay the Spire-like card battles with the strategic nature of a party-based RPG and a profound story. The greatest appeal of this game is that the "roguelike" gameplay, which involves repeated retries, is closely linked to the narrative "loop." Rather than simply starting over, defeats and repeating cycles themselves become part of the story experience, and the interest in the story of "what will happen next" supports motivation.
There is a wide range of difficulty settings, catering to everyone from roguelike beginners to advanced players looking to enjoy challenging combat. Furthermore, it is fully compatible with mods via the Steam Workshop, providing endless depth and expandability for endless play even after completion. This is an immersive game that is perfect for those who say, "I like the system, but I can't continue without a story."
