The fifth game has you play protagonists with demonic powers as they try to defeat the demon king. Gameplay is mostly focused on fighting and using a variety of attacks, so if fighting enemies is your style, Devil May Cry 5 is an excellent game to pick up.
Exoprimal
Two words: guns and dinosaurs. Though it didn’t do very well on launch, Exoprimal is a solid game to play with friends, especially if you and your pals are into first-person shooters. In this game, players must control exosuits in order to fight dinosaurs and complete objectives with their team before other teams do.
Mega Man 11
If you’ve played Mega Man before, you already know what to expect from Mega Man 11. But that’s far from a negative. Mega Man 11 builds on the already reliable quality of the other Mega Man games with similar gameplay and inclusion of the features players already know and love. It also includes difficulty settings, time trials, and worldwide leaderboards, adapting the game for every kind of player.
Monster Hunter: World
Monster Hunter is pretty self-explanatory: you hunt monsters. Despite being part of a series, Monster Hunter: World is perfectly accessible to new players. If you’ve been wanting to play the long-running franchise but you’re not sure where to start, this is a great game to do that.
Okami HD
This re-release of Okami is a high-definition remake of the original 2006 game. It centers around the sun goddess Amaterasu, who takes the form of a white wolf as she tries to save the land from the darkness. The game features many characters and motifs from Japanese Shinto spirituality, and the art style is inspired by traditional Japanese art styles like ukiyo-e and sumi-e.
Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Village is the tenth main installment of the Resident Evil franchise, released in 2021. It follows Ethan Winters as he explores a monster-filled village in search of his missing daughter after she is kidnapped by Chris Redfield, the series’ previous protagonist. While not the best game in the Resident Evil franchise, it combines some of the previous entries’ best features into a thrilling single-player adventure.
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
As part of Street Fighter’s 30th Anniversary in 2018, this collection of games compiles twelve Street Fighter games from the 1990s.
