Gravity Rush 1 & 2

Developer:
Japan Studio

Content:
An open-world action-adventure game featuring a strange but positively charged woman named Kat, who finds herself in a strange town with a black cat… and the ability to manipulate gravity.

Opinion:
Really unique game with great gameplay, atmosphere, story and characters. Extremely underrated. It may start a little slow, but once it gets going, it quickly becomes clear that the sky is both the literal and figurative limit of what this game can achieve.

ECHO

Developer:
ULTRA ULTRA

Content:
En, along with the artificial intelligence London, is on a quest to find the palace, a mythical place where it is said that the dead can be brought back to life.

Opinion:
ECHO is a game with a compelling central idea, a top-notch sci-fi storyline, and some excellent stealth mechanics. It also requires that you understand its rules and play the game at the pace it sets. The clever use of AI creates unique challenges, but the lack of variety in the environment and the consistently same enemy type means the game gets a little too boring for many. Still, I would recommend everyone to at least give it a try.

Everything

Developer:
David OReilly

Content:
EVERYTHING is a beautiful interactive experience narrated by the great and sadly deceased philosopher Alan Watts.

Opinion:
I have not (currently) experienced any other game where gameplay and narrative are so intertwined.
I would even go so far as to say that this game has changed my worldview somewhat and made my appreciation for life itself grow.
Just watch the trailer, then you can get an idea of what this is all about in detail.
