Apartment No 129

At first, we have Mandragora's Apartment No 129. It features the classic horror element where the protagonist (Summary Emir) steps into an abandoned apartment.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Integrade

Square Enix seems to put great effort into their Final Fantasy 7 Remake Integrade title. While every FF fan is familiar with the origin story, this one tells the expanded version of that. It takes you to the classic Midgar section of the original title as Cloud Strife joins the eco-terrorist group, Avalanche. The faction fights against the Shinra Electric Power Company, which drains Mako's life force. Overall, the title is worth purchasing.

Highguard

The creators of Apex Legends take you on a unique journey where arcane gunslingers are sent to fight to take control of a mythical world. Similar to most PvP raid titles, you fight against other opponents where you can ride, use weapons, and use your swords to break shields and secure territories. This new breed of shooter is surely a breath of fresh air, especially for those who are tired of entering the classic competitive titles.

Code Vein II

Bandai Namco is scheduled to drop another masterpiece after a six-year-long hiatus. Code Vein II is a direct prequel to the first iteration. It follows a tale across time with the Protagonist (main character) and his friend Lou. The anime-inspired souls-like title provides you with an action-packed story where you must battle against Horrors and enhance your overall abilities to reach the endgame.
