5. Darkest Dungeon

Darkest Dungeon gameplay no commentary

Darkest Dungeons has been on our minds for awhile as its early access was released in the beginning of 2015. Since then gamers have had the pleasure of watching it develop into a rich and rewarding game. It sells big in visuals and its overall strategic rogue-like gameplay.

Perhaps however it delivers best in story. Dive into Darkest Dungeon and learn the haunted past of your home and family. As the protagonist, you inherit a mansion rife with monsters that you must battle and send back to their demonic dimensions. From there you’ll organize expeditions into the dungeon mazes below to put these ghoulish activities to rest.

Who looked at this and didn’t think the place might be haunted?
