The Darkness really was an incredible game.

You hear all those stories about games that have secrets uncovered within their worlds years later, right? Those Easter eggs that remain buried under complex methods to uncover them. Uncovering them is one of the most satisfying discoveries that can be made in the gaming world.

But sometimes, developers put hidden secrets right in front of our very eyes. While some may find these, the fact that they're so obvious can escape from being right under our very noses.

But developers want you to find them, experience them and enjoy them in all of the glory.

So while some delve deep into the game, there's a seemingly endless amount of secrets laying right on the very surface. Utilising pop culture references or simply just being overly silly moment that do nothing to enhance the game, but allow the developers more creativity.

There's a wide range of these that have provided us with many classic moments of discovery and provided amusing moments of recognising the game's attempts at trying something unusual and new.

So, let's delve in and look at ten games that contained Easter eggs that we were meant to find!

10. Zombie Army 4 - Stranger Things

The Zombie Army franchise isn't scared to delve into the world of Easter egg hunting. In fact, one of the main draws in all of their games is not only the gratifying blood-spraying mayhem that ensues as your team lay waste to an army of undead nasties, but the simple hunt for secrets.

The recent Zombie Army 4 took this concept and ran with it, each campaign packed with a near endless supply of horror infused Easter eggs laying in every corner of its gruesome campaigns.

One of the best iterations being in one of the early campaigns in which you enter a building and are greeted with the Christmas lights that Stranger Things is most commonly known for. It's part of the main path, but poses an interesting puzzle for players.

Shooting the lights out to spell the word 'brains' allows the player to enter a safe and gain some new items. It's an obvious solution when the word is literally sprawled across the walls, but it doesn't make it any less of a fun interaction with the world and a great throwback to the popular show.
