The Assassins Creed series renaissance continues with Valhalla. Valhalla lets you live out your dreams of being a Viking, and the game immerses you in their rich history and culture.
There are battles to be fought, alliances to be made, and lots of looting. We have plenty of guides over in our Assassin's Creed Section! Bioshock Infinite is an action-packed adventure game set in the floating city of Columbia in an alternate The city has an outstanding design with incredible detail, and unique transport systems called a sky-line that lets you glide through the air from place to place. You play as the hero, Booker, who has to rescue a mysterious woman called Elizabeth from the despotic Reverend Comstock.
The two of you form an alliance and use everything from firearms to potions and time travel to make things right. Bioshock Infinite is one of the few games that deals with heavy themes like race and religion without feeling heavy-handed. In fact, the themes are balanced out with over-the-top action like robotic George Washingtons attacking you with battling guns.
As Geralt of Rivia, your job is hunting down monsters across the land. You get one of the most detailed maps ever and are allowed to decide what you want to do and where you want to go. Your actions and dialogue can have severe consequences, and you also have to solve the mystery of the elusive Wild Hunt.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best games if you need a break from reality to explore a fantasy world.

Some gameplay elements are a bit dated, but you get lots of weapons and upgrades to keep you busy.

Shadow of War continues where its predecessor, Shadow of Mordor left off, by offering an immersive Middle-Earth experience. You then use your combined abilities to battle hordes of orcs to save the city of Minas Ithil.
