<p>Here's a controversial one. A horror game from a Taiwanese developer, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/redcandlegames/">Red Candle Games</a>, Devotion has been scaring people shitless on Steam since its very recent release. While it has earned acclaim from various reviewers for its well-paced scares and tight story, Devotion sadly disappeared off the face of Steam since its Winnie the Pooh meme sparked a backlash from Chinese gamers. Probably aware of its mocking undertones against sitting president Xi Jinping. Currently unavailable on Steam, if you're looking for a good scare, it's out there online, with a Provisional playscore of 8.08.</p>

<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/eastshade/">Eastshade</a></h2>

<p>It looks like it all turned out decent for Far Cry's latest installment--at least on some of the platforms. It's set in the same Hope County we knew from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/far-cry-5/">Far Cry 5</a> - albeit with a nuclear blossom 17 years after. Most of the concern pre-release was about rehashed mechanics and sights. Some of those did come true as New Dawn is packed with the same, familiar <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/far-cry/">Far Cry</a> gameplay, with some new features attached. The consensus seems to be that if you loved Far Cry 5, and wanted, it's still worth the pickup. It has a playscore of 8.14 on the PS4, 7.73 on the Xbox One and 7.49 on the PC.</p>

<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/3ds/etrian-odyssey-nexus/">Etrian Odyssey Nexus</a></h2>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/tetris-99/">Tetris 99</a></h2>

<p>Did somebody say… Tetris Battle Royale?!

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/salt-and-sanctuary/">Salt And Sanctuary</a></h2>

<p>Who could ever forget this souls-like adventure game? <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ska-studios/">Ska Studios</a>' fourth game is a cleverly crafted 2D action RPG that will challenge amateur players with the brutal difficulty of its Metroidvania action. Despite inspiring a number of comparisons with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/castlevania-anniversary-collection/">Castlevania</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/dark-souls/">Dark Souls</a>, Salt and Sanctuary is its own magic.
