6. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs
Exploring a deserted 1899 era London is already an ominous premise, but when youre playing an amnesiac looking for your children surrounded by environments littered with pigmen, things get exponentially more mysterious and terrifying. To say that A Machine For Pigs doesnt have one of the best stories in gaming all year would be lying, frankly: similar to a Bioshock game, Amnesia builds upon this perplexing story and blazes into a shocking plot twist that will leave you reanalyzing the entire game. This stand-alone sequel also has some very notable gameplay improvements that essentially eliminate all the intrusive item micromanagement, which truthfully interfered far too much with the predecessors equally strong narrative. A Machine For Pigs is another more traditional survival horror game that takes the inability to truly defend yourself and weaves an exhilaratingly eerie story around it. On atmospherics alone, it's a 10/10 game.
