Gang Beasts
Genre: Fighting, Comedy
Gang Beasts is a quirky action-adventure game featuring bizarre team battles. The characters are uniquely designed and move in a way that’s unlike anything else. However, with fast-paced gameplay and interesting environmental interactions, Gang Beasts has become a favorite of the team led by Dũng CT.
Gang Beasts is a great choice when you need some entertainment. The gameplay features familiar actions like punching and kicking opponents until they fall in challenging arenas. However, opponents won’t just stand still; they can defend and counter-attack, making you “eat dirt”.
Portal 2
Genre: Puzzle
Portal 2 is a first-person puzzle game developed by Valve, following the unexpected success of the first installment released in 2007, which quickly garnered many awards from gaming magazines.
Continuing the legacy, Portal 2 takes players into a series of challenges, solving puzzles to advance to new levels by using a portal gun to open “interdimensional” doors. This sequel introduces many new mechanics alongside traditional physics, making gameplay more diverse and puzzles more “intellectual”. The game includes both single-player and co-op modes, so you can drag a friend along to “brainstorm” with you.
Whether playing solo or online, Portal 2 still offers an incredibly engaging experience for gamers, thanks to its unique gameplay. The main antagonist, the AI GLaDOS, is portrayed as both humorous and sinister, contributing significantly to the success of Portal 2, which often finds itself on the list of the most memorable villains in gaming.
The love from Steam users for Portal 2 is undeniable. The question now is, when will we finally get to enjoy Portal 3, along with the other third installments that remain in limbo from Valve?
The Stanley Parable
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy
The Stanley Parable is a horror game without combat or action, where players assume the role of a character without dialogue and must choose paths in an office building with the help of a narrator.
Not bloody or jump-scare frightening, The Stanley Parable psychologically tortures players by forcing them to make choices about which doors to open to escape the building.
Broforce
Genre: Action, Side-scrolling
Broforce is a 2D side-scrolling action game developed by Free Lives Games. In Broforce, players take on the role of an unnamed commando (referred to as “bro”) embarking on a journey to crush terrorists, rescue teammates, and free war prisoners.
Besides the familiar action gameplay of similar titles, Broforce allows players to destroy terrain and environments in each level, making the gameplay more diverse and intense.
As a “non-serious” game, Broforce doesn’t hesitate to “parody” classic action films from the 80s like Rambo, Terminator, or Die Hard… Broforce is expected to be released in Q2 2014 on PC and console.
Far Cry 3 – Blood Dragon
Genre: Shooter Action.
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is a standalone expansion that can be played without the original Far Cry 3 title. So new players trying Far Cry for the first time have nothing to worry about.
The game immerses players in a “futuristic vision from 80s films,” featuring colorful laser weapons, thumping techno music, explosive sequences, and of course, it has nothing to do with the wild jungles of Rook Island from Far Cry 3.
“You will play as Sergeant Rex Colt – a half-man, half-machine warrior fighting against a rebellious robot corporation. Eliminate the bad guys, save the damsel in distress, and bring peace to the world; that’s your mission, enjoy all the cheesy elements in a future ravaged by nuclear weapons” – Ubisoft’s description of Blood Dragon.
Designed with a satirical tone, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon also received very positive reviews from gaming sites upon its release in 2013.
