10 Awesome 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed (So Far)

6. Minit

Without question the most innovative and imaginative adventure game of the year so far, Minit's deliciously devious hook sees the player having just 60 seconds to make progress before their avatar drops dead and the process starts again.

As such, Minit naturally requires a certain degree of repetition, but the fast-paced gameplay and constant sense of discovery stop your time from ever feeling wasted (and if you want to respawn before the minute's up, there is a suicide button).

Traversing the land will inevitably bring you into contact with items and safe-houses which will make forward-progress easier, while a brisk two-hour length ensures ennui never really has time to set in.

The visuals may be ultra-minimalist, but with a premise this deliriously clever, who needs flashy graphics?
