3.  Slain: Back from Hell

Slain: Back from Hell Gameplay

The original Slain was not… the best, especially not in terms of skill, underperforming in many respects. It’s sequel Slain: Back from Hell is incredible, however, presenting itself as a side-scrolling/ platform slasher where you combat the denizens of hell with a massive pixelated sword.

The story is scarce, with very little in terms of plot, but for what it lacks in that respect it makes up for in its core gameplay loop. Slain: Back from Hell isn’t for everyone, it'sits a game of extremes. Hate or love it, if you’re a fan of gothic games you have to give Slain: Back from Hell a try.

Gore is everywhere in Slain: Back to Hell, with enemies often being bleeding skeletons and environments being made of ash, ruins, and crimson

Boss battles are similar to 2-dimensional Dark Souls, with you needing to die a few times, learn the pattern, and use strategy to make it through rather than bull right in
