British horror games are having a moment just now, and Rebellion has served up a witty, fun slice of apocalypse.

This is moody, broody, and tranquil, like a good book.

Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered is a great way to play two underserved cult classics, with reams of extra material for the devoted.

If you worry that single-player capers with plush budgets and a modest claim on your hours are destined for a museum, hopefully this will delay the entropy.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 is an independent game, in the truest meaning of the term, and, beyond the hook of its mysteries, you may be drawn to it by virtue of being tired of other things.

A sweet tactical twist on a beloved series, Leikir has paid homage in the best possible way: by doing something new.

You ought to play Slitterhead if for no other reason than its mood. It’s one of this year’s strangest and most striking games.

Animal Well

Animal Well is one of those works that seem to have been scooped out of a single skull: a chilly clump of sweet dreams and obsessions, pleasures and manias.

There is enough pleasant fun here to divert you, and there are flutters of real invention. You just wish that it ran a little further.

A choose-your-own horror without any fright, The Casting of Frank Stone has an intriguing plot that doesn’t end up delivering.
