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.
The Binding of Isaac
The Binding of Isaac is a rogue-like dungeon crawler that has a rather dark and depressing theme. In this game, you play the role of Isaac, a human boy who had to flee for his life after his mother heard the voice of God asking her to sacrifice his son to him. However, in a rather weird twist, the basement Isaac ran into turned into a waking nightmare and is filled with insane enemies, his fears and of course, his mother.Despite the rather abstract story, the gameplay is surprisingly solid. You'll find many gross items that will grant Isaac new powers and change his being, allowing him to fight off hordes of enemies and bosses of varying abilities. Interestingly, the levels you fight in are randomly generated and this gives The Binding of Isaac a kind of replayability that rivals that of other famous dungeon crawling games. Depending on your actions as Isaac, you'll also unlock different endings as well.
The Binding of Isaac is definitely a unique sort of dungeon crawler that uses the gruesome element that Diablo has so perfectly wielded to disgust you while giving you sufficient variety in terms of Isaac's abilities and the abilities of the enemy you'll be facing. If this is the sort of game for you, you might be interested to try the game out.
