Fast-paced games like Doom have you on the edge of your seat and the adrenaline rush can be a welcome change from your mundane routine. Ghostrunner, a first-person shooter/parkour game is sure to raise your pulse and make you feel like a badass while playing it.
It’s set in a cyberpunk-themed world, and you’ll play a sword-wielding ninja known as The Ghostrunner who awakens with no memory but is instructed to free someone known as the Architect. Though the game does follow a storyline, it doesn’t get in the way of the rapid mechanics and fast-paced gameplay.
Get Ghostrunner.

For fans of Resident Evil or the old Silent Hill games, this one’s for you. Song of Horror, released in 2020, pays tribute to the classic genre of survival horror. Here, you’ll play as multiple characters in the third person, to investigate the disappearance of a famed writer, Sebastian P. Husher.
Search for clues in the writer’s house, all the while watching your back for a terrifying supernatural entity known as The Presence. Try not to get attached to the characters, though – the game has a permadeath function and you could lose some of your beloved characters for good.

If you were a fan of the horror classic Alien movie, you might want to check out this game. Alien: Isolation is set a few years after the events of the original 1979 film and you play the daughter of the film’s protagonist, Ripley, seeking answers for her mother’s disappearance.
Like many horror games, the main goal is simple: survive. Great graphics and easter eggs aside, the game will have you in complete tension as you creep across the ship avoiding both the Alien and hostile crewmates. Using both the scavenging and stealth mechanics, you’ll have to be quick on your feet to keep yourself alive against the AIs.
Get Alien: Isolation.

You first wake up as a little character known only as “the protagonist”. Armed with your trusty sword, and your dash and jump mechanics, you have to explore an abandoned castle seemingly overrun by dark forces.
Blue Fire is an adorable 3D platformer with a simple quest line and charming graphics. The game is mostly casual but does have timed tasks which will have you frantically mashing WASD and the space key. As you progress through the storyline, your character will also become more powerful with added health and maneuverability throughout the game.

You can never go wrong with arcade-style games. After all, simple and short gameplay is great for casual gamers who are looking for a way to pass the time. Red Wings: Aces of the Sky is particularly great for those who are new to flying simulators with its easy-to-understand objectives and controls.
Set in World War I, you’ll fly historically accurate planes as you engage in dogfights and battle against swarms of enemies. The gameplay also includes flight challenges that require you to fly through a series of rings. All this is laid on top of the classic comic-book style art that makes it both fun and addictive to play.
