25. Pentiment 

November 15, 2022 (Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, Windows) 

Pentiment is a 2D role-playing puzzle game set in the Duchy of Bavaria in the 16th century. The role of the player is to investigate several murders that have happened in the fictional town of Tassing. It is in the hands of the player to decide who is guilty of these crimes. 

The art style of this game is exceptionally beautiful. The scenes themselves look like they are from a medieval manuscript. What sets this game apart from other puzzle games is that there is more of a focus on talking to other characters in the game to gather clues and information about recent events. Though you do have to listen closely to what everyone is saying and make sure that their stories add up. Another interesting aspect of this game is that time does matter. If you spend too much time on one lead the other leads will then have a chance to get away. So be very picky with your pursuit. 

  • Discover 16th-century Europe through the eyes of master artists in Pentiment, a world brought to life through illuminated manuscript-inspired art and early printed books.
  • Explore the tales and mysteries of the Bavarian town of Tassing and Keirsau Abbey, meeting a diverse cast of characters, as you select different academic and social backgrounds.
  • Navigate through a time of significant religious and political upheaval, where your decisions can shape the future of the community for generations to come, and witness the effects of your choices unfold.

16.Graveyard Keeper 

August 15, 2018  (Nintendo Switch, Android, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, iOS, Microsoft Windows, Linux, macOS)

As you might guess from the title of this game, the player takes on the role of a graveyard keeper, who (as you might have guessed) takes care of a graveyard. You as the player are tasked with managing your business, gathering resources, cleaning the graveyard, and doing tasks for the people in the village. Maybe not the most wholesome but it sounds simple enough, though things do take a darker turn.

Graveyard keeper is a game that does not take itself too seriously. It has a nice contrast between its dark sense of humor and its grim setting. For example, one of the first things the game lets you do is extract flesh from a corpse that can be used to make burgers. Later these burgers can be sold at the inquisitor's witch-burning festival. 

The questline is relatively simple and easy to complete. The story is very fun to follow with lots of humorous moments along the way. 

  • Collect valuable materials, craft new items, and turn your graveyard into a successful business by exploring the surrounding areas for resources.
  • Choose between grinding up corpses for sale to the butcher or embarking on quests in a world filled with dead bodies.

You also have to make sure that your population is happy by making sure they have an adequate amount of food and that they have something to do like having a tavern in your town. The unhappiness of the population may result in fewer peasants wanting to settle in your kingdom. You as the ruler also need to make sure that your population is in good health by having a doctor in your town or else your subjects may fall victim to the plague.

The game at times haunts you with a foreboding, dreadful yet calming atmosphere. It really paints a beautiful picture of this plague-ridden land.   

  • Explore and uncover the history of the world, gain notoriety, wealth, and recognition while discovering vibrant villages, abandoned mines, and forgotten relics.

One of the most fun and brutal medieval games I've ever played. Chivalry 2 really can get your blood pumping like no other game out there. Chivalry 2 is a medieval action combat game that in my opinion is best played in first-person mode, as it really lets you immerse yourself into some adrenaline-rushing chaotic battles. The main focus of Chivalry 2 is its combat system, which is easy to grasp, but difficult to master. One of the best gaming experiences I have ever played is the 64v64 PVP mode, a beautifully chaotic experience.

If you're looking for some crazy heart-rushing experience. Well, then Mordhau might just be for you. Nothing is quite as thrilling as Mordhaus battle-frenzied first-person gameplay. This medieval slasher can offer countless hours of fun, as no two engagements ever feel the same. 

At first, the complicated combat system may feel a bit too overwhelming but once you get the hang of it, you will be cutting through your enemies on the battlefield. Mordhaus gore effects are extremely brutal, beheadings, spilling guts, and cutting off limbs all can be done to either you or your enemies. It is extremely satisfying landing one of these on your enemy. When it happens to you, not so much. 

There are many game modes to choose from, my favorite being the “Frontline” which is a 64-player big team battle mode. There are also other game modes such as Battle-Royale, a horde mode, team deathmatch, and 1v1 duel servers. 

Equip yourself with a massive arsenal of weapons and equipment for combat, including a greatsword, arrows from above, and fortifications for defense.

  • Experience intense and brutal combat with every strike felt and limbs flying as you wreak havoc on enemies.
  • Play with friends in cooperative Horde mode against waves of enemies or hone your skills offline against AI.
