Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin
Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin is definitely the sequel that its fans deserve! Featuring the same gripping and creepy gameplay that defined the game franchise, Dark Souls 2 pushes the boundaries by adding in a host of new sensory assaults that will prey on your senses and your deepest fears. The monsters and bosses in the game have also been reworked to be even more disturbing to look at when you're sweating buckets while engaging them in battle. Similarly, the multiplayer aspect has been improved as well, providing a better experience for both cooperative and competitive play. You'll even get new weapons, abilities, characters and more to boot!Dark Souls 2 is a must-buy for players who have enjoyed playing the original game, but if you have not tried the first game, you might want to get that first before getting this one.
Starbound
Starbound is amazingly fun 2D sandbox/exploration game that will put you in the shoes of a spacefarer and a captain of your very own spacecraft. As you travel through space, you will need to stop by planets to collect resources and perhaps even colonize them so you can also gather up a crew to man your ship. There are up to 7 races to play as, a story campaign where you are tasked to save the universe, and 3 different game modes ranging from Casual to Hardcore to either provide you with a fun relaxing experience or to put your survival skills to the test. You can even play the game cooperatively when you want. For modders, you can add in new races, biomes, dungeons, quests and anything else you'd like as well.Starbound can be turned into a pretty much an endless game due to its procedurally generated universe, where you can simply fly around in your spaceship looking for your next big adventure. Thus, you can definitely expect hours of gameplay at the very least for your first playthrough, making this game very well worth its price.
