Compelling games this year include fantasy epics, a fast-paced cooperative adventure and a mysterious manor oozing with puzzles.
One of the biggest video game stories of the year — the delay of Grand Theft Auto VI — is about a hotly anticipated title that will not be playable in 2025. But there still has been plenty to enjoy in the first half of this year. Here’s an alphabetical list of the 10 games that have wowed our critics most.
The Alters
When the sole survivor of a space mining expedition initiates a procedure on his ship’s quantum computer that allows him to select an alternative life path, he must learn to live with the other selves he might have been.
The Alters, by the studio behind Frostpunk and This War of Mine, is an extraordinary survival game that explores miscommunication, human fallibility and conflicting motivations. By contrast with so many games that urge perfectionism, it wants you to embrace your errors and remember that out of mistakes, good things can happen. (PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S)
