Szellemóriás

If you’d rather be a ghost than be haunted by one, give Szellemóriás a try. You play as—well, a giant ghost. A giant ghost with an enormous pair of spectral blue hands. From high above the landscape you watch over Louis, a lonely little cat who desperately needs a friend. Clear the forest road of boulders, shop for sunflower seeds at Monsieur Tulipe’s shop, memorize a secret handshake, and more in this heartwarming adventure that’s more cozy than creepy.

Duck Season

Duck Season is a perfectly pleasant nostalgia trip that fondly recalls playing Duck Hunt in your basement as a child. It’s a good ol’ time—until it’s not. Duck Season is delightfully off-kilter, juxtaposing the coziness of a warm and familiar setting with the growing sense that something is rossz with it. It’s a slow and satisfying burn that plays on childhood fears, and a multitude of endings and secrets make it worth a second or even third playthrough. Oh, and it’s a solid Duck Hunt adaptation as well.

Arizona napsütés

The desert is hot, dry, and entirely too full of zombies. Arizona napsütés was one of the Rift’s earliest first-person zombie shooters, and it remains a top-tier survival horror game thanks in part to its Old West trappings, opening with towering orange buttes and an abandoned mine. It’s tough, too. Picking off a zombie or two isn’t bad, but when the hordes descend on your position? You’d better be a crack shot with a pistol or you’re going to run out of ammo fast. The Halott és a Az elkeseredett add-ons expand on the story behind Arizona napsütés’s apocalypse, and once you’ve fought your way to the very, very end… well, there’s still a horde mode, if you think you can hold out against unending waves of undead.
