10The Sinking City
The Sinking Citytakes moody Lovecraftian horror and spills all across an open world for you to explore. As you take on the role of Charles Winfield Reed, you may be pleasantly surprised that developers have actually been able to make a private investigator protagonist that is likable while having to deal with such a grim atmosphere.
Combat is by no means groundbreaking, but other elements combined with the story make it well worth the installation. With all the outside issues that have unfortunately plagued the game in recent times, you’ll want to get the EA Play Pro version of this game so you can support the Frogwares edition.
9Beholder 2
Sequels always have the unenviable task of living up to the original, so it’s quite remarkable to see Beholder 2 firmly stand on its own while paying homage to its predecessor very well. As an intern at the central ministry, you have to make some tough choices that determine whether or not you will upend or bend to a totalitarian state.
Beholder 2 improves on the narrative and gameplay of the first game so compelling and successfully introduces a new style and perspective that’s just jarring enough to keep you hooked. Who doesn’t love resource management and dystopian terror done well?
8Fran Bow
Since its release, Fran Bow has constantly been referred to as one of the best psychological horror games in recent memory. With its dark and captivating art and interesting art style, the point-and-click adventure manages to become more than just any other creepy indie game.

The story and setting will get under your skin and then somehow manage to inject other emotions you might not have expected coming in. Add on some interesting gameplay mechanics, and you have yourself a great horror puzzle game that will stick with you when it’s over.
7They Are Billions
Demanding. Grueling. Punishing.
Those may sound like descriptors that only masochists will enjoy, but they are the factors that make They Are Billions so great. Somehow, it has all these attributes while still being tirelessly fun. RTS and defense mechanics suitably fit into this post-apocalyptic Steampunk world, while its RNG makes sure that you never have the same experience, even if you pick the same map. They are billions, and there’s only one of you, so get ready for a strategy game on steroids.
6Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
Few things in this world are constant, but theWarhammerseries is one of those constants. There areso many great Warhammer gamesout there that vary in quality and gameplay, so you’re able to always find something that appeals to you. Some are fascinating, while others are clunkers. That’s just the tradeoff when you have a collection that can fill a Steam library back and again.
Thankfully, EA Play Pro players get access to the very good entry,Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus. This entry uses a turn-based strategy system as you take charge of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It is very faithful to the lore, uses stunning visuals, and offers complex mechanics to satisfy any player, whether you are a longtime fan or new to the IP.
5Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Despite the rather bruised launch ofStar Wars Jedi: Survivordue to poor PC optimization, it still manages to be an awesome Star Wars game through and through. You will likely be satisfied with how it continues the story if you came from the first game, but even new players diving right into this one will find a lot to love.
It’s expansive and captivating, offering both a narrative and gameplay style that is truly worth the setting that Star Wars creates. Sure, there are some performance issues that can really downplay an otherwise fantastic game. Thankfully, EA Play Pro members don’t have to deal with the pain of paying full price and can just play some other exclusives while waiting for the next patch.
4Into The Breach
A lot of people don’t know thatNetflix actually makes games. While its small library has been mostly filled with mobile games, it really struck gold when it releasedInto The Breachby Subset Games. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly simplistic tactics of this game, as it finds impactful ways to keep you hooked for hours on end.

It’s also quite a feat how much depth has been packed into a game meant primarily to make Netflix subscriptions feel more “worth it.” If you want a challenge that somehow avoids feeling frustrating, you’ll want to go Into The Breach.
3Sonic Mania
Harkenback to the classics while enjoying modern quality-of-life improvementsin gaming withSonic Mania. This game doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, but that makes it so endlessly fun.
You just get a good ol’ platformer with the goodness that Sonic games always brought - fun levels with unique routes, a hype soundtrack, and characters you just can’t get sick of. Even if you’re not a nostalgia gamer, you’ll find enjoyment in this title (which is arguably even better than the mainline releases from the “official” Sonic team.)
Roguelite! Metroidvania! You might be sick of hearing these buzzwords in any conversation related to 2D gaming, but you’ll have to trust thatDead Cellsis a definitive title for the genre worth diving into. This game is oh-so-hard, but you’ll find yourself unable to put it away anyway.
Dead Cells has an interesting setting and cool art that make it appealing to try in the first place, but you’re really stuck once you sink a few hours in and experience different biomes. This game doesn’t beg you to master it, it compels you.
There’s always a bit of nervousness when iconic games are remastered or remade because companies just ruin good things all too often. Luckily, the newDead Spacenot only escapes that fate but ends up being a masterpiece all on its own.
The survival horror genre simply would not be the same without the existence of Dead Space, and the next-gen edition elevates the experience in an exciting way. It’s so immersive that you don’t want it to be. This is not just a rehash but an unforgettable experience that is alone worth trying EA Play Pro for.
