20. Get Even
Release Date - 2016
The authors of this first-person shooter decided to erase the classic separation between single-player and multi-user modes. Other users can invade the battlefield and take the place of one of the enemy characters. So players never know if their adversary is human or AI. This obscurity only enhances the sense of threat, and tickles the nerves.
And even in Get Even there will be no familiar dialogues and cut scenes. Their place will be taken by elements of gameplay, study and interaction with the environment.
The plot of the game revolves around a secret detachment that has to fight various supernatural creatures.
19. ELEX
Release Date 2017
One of the most anticipated games of 2017 on the PC, from the developers of the famous Gothic.
