Inside (PS4/Xbox One/PC)
11 of 15
Come for the stark visuals, stay for the clever gameplay. Inside ($20) makes an impression on looks alone -- the minimal, almost colorless environments are like nothing you've seen before. But Inside's real draw are the puzzles littered throughout the levels, as you guide a young boy through a dangerous world.
Created by Danish developer Playdead, Inside received widespread critical acclaim when it was released in the summer.
