games with gold program is a great
concept on paper pay for the monthly sub
and get free games every month not a bad
deal right well it’s not always worth
the price of admission for this list
we’ll take a look at the must play games
but also the misses number 5 worst how
to survive
storm warning addition please be quick
complete Indies are always hoping to
stick out from the crowd
well 505 games a survival title
succeeded in that regard it did so by
generally underwhelming and offering
remarkably few redeeming factors you’ll
get your first taste of the generic
story and unsatisfying combat within the
first five minutes and unfortunately
things don’t get much better once
advanced mechanics like crafting get
introduced
you’ll always be given guns that are far
better than you can create which makes
the entire concept worthless and
unbalances the game number five best
unless you’ve been under a rock for the
past seven years chances are you or
someone you know prepared to die Dark
Souls is notorious difficulty searched
it to popularity with millions of
players the mechanics of the game
essentially forming the basis of a new
genre while the focus is on great
atmosphere and intense boss fights the
stamina meter means that combat is a
thoughtful process that requires a
surprising amount of strategy you might
not enjoy replaying stretches of the
games for hours on end but when it
finally clicks you have hundreds of
hours of potential entertainment just
waiting for you in Lord round number
four worst zeroes beat’em up games
haven’t quite made the leap out of the
80s but back in the day they ruled the
arcade trying to catch that nostalgia
rim light Studios copied that formula to
bring you a game that has all the flaws
of those older titles and well not much
else it’s jam-packed with both levels
and enemies that all share similar
designs to the point of being boring and
the bread and butter of the genre the
combat just sucks the combos aren’t
rewarding to pull off and are so simple
that it just comes down to button
number four best Bayonetta
it’s one of the most celebrated
hack-and-slash games in recent years
thanks to its challenging
lightning-quick combat and is one of the
best games Platinum has ever put
together following the story of the
titular which players use a variety of
weapons to slaughter hundreds of enemy
angels it’s not a complicated concept
but between the combo systems which time
and advanced techniques like dodge
offsets the combat has such a high skill
ceiling that fighting stays engaging the
whole way through its arguably only
surpassed by its sequel but since that’s
essentially Nintendo’s property now you
should probably take what you can get
number three worst the dear God you must
now feel what it feels like to be one of
us the dear God is beautiful to look at
and it clearly endeavors to be more than
just entertainment if developers want to
give players a message through the
adventure then more power to them but
that only works if they’re delivering
set message via a satisfying gameplay
experience the problem with the dear God
is that aside from its great if not
entirely unique visual style it really
has nothing going for it the linear
platforming is laughably easy and offers
little replayability and the bosses are
so easy to exploit that they become long
boring tests of patience instead of
giving us a thrill
number three best rayman legends it’s
debatable whether it’s the greatest
platformer ever as some fans claim but
Raymond’s latest adventure is definitely
one of the most challenging over more
than 120 levels you’ll constantly be
tasked with mastering new mechanics that
can range from zip lines to musical
performances and while it may seem
daunting this helps break up the
experience and keep it fresh it may not
have the name recognition of Mario but
it’s art style and sense of humor are
just as good providing something other
games just can’t match after all what
other game lets you fight a giant lava
don’t be fooled by the superficial halo
elements like covenant enemies and the
arsenal of classic weapons you’ve come
to expect because beneath all that beats
the heart of a shameless spin-off
cash-grab microtransactions aside the
two biggest offenders here are the
controls and the lack of immersion the
title was originally designed around
infuriating context specific touch
inputs which means that switching things
over to an Xbox controller just makes
the game extremely easy even when the
action does pick up it’s hard for us to
get invested since the top-down
perspective makes us feel like we’re
controlling ants and takes all the
number two best bioshock infinite the
newest entry to the bioshock universe
might have disappointed fans that were
hoping for a return to rapture but
outside of the complaints of that vocal
minority there’s very little to
criticize this title for Columbia is a
beautifully designed city filled with
fun characters and while it may seem
like a happy-go-lucky place at the right
moment it can get your heart going as
good as any moment from the previous
games the gunplay still isn’t perfect
but the story is more nuanced and deep
than ever it also gets major credit for
giving you Elizabeth as arguably the
most useful AI partner in videogame
history
thanks number one worst murdered soul
suspect Brian is a lovely boy but I
worry about his family
is this stressful possession is a flawed
mechanic because it gives players too
much freedom it’s impossible for the
developers to program for every
different outcome so players end up in a
monkey’s paw situation where their
dreams are only half realized sure you
get to investigate our own murder with
ghostly powers but we can only interact
with NPCs and very specific limited ways
that make our diverse options feel
pointless yes we get to explore the town
of Salem but it’s so small that it feels
claustrophobic
you get the idea but the game is riddled
with these kinds of compromises even the
enemies are joke since half the time
Ronan can ignore them altogether number
one best Metal Gear Solid 5 the phantom
pain you better know no best to
understand your situation hindsight
hasn’t been kind to Kojima’s last at-bat
with the franchise but there still
plenty here to make it worth picking up
on top of the stellar graphics and
open-world
the gunplay is so good that we could
spend hours just sniping people with the
Brenin important as that is though Metal
Gear fans are really looking for a
well-written story and while it’s weaker
here than in the past
it’s still more than good enough to get
players emotionally invested in the
characters and plot it’s still snake it
still has the box and it still has great
bosses so go download it right now the
world calls for what work we answered
no greater could know just cause do you
