10 Exciting 2017 Video Games Nobody Is Talking About

8. Vampyr

It's amazing that considering how varied gaming has become within the industry, there hasn't been a decent vampire simulator. Out of all the mainstream games that have come out in recent years, it seems like Skyrim is the only one to offer any entertaining vampire-based gameplay.

However, thanks to developer Dontnod Entertainment, gamers may finally have a next-level vampire simulator that's both a blast to play and suitably bloody.

Set in a dark and atmospheric 1918 London setting, Vampyr sees a doctor that is coming to terms with his recent transformation into a vampire. He finds himself struggling with the moral imbalances between taking care of people and needing to kill to survive, represented through the character's moments of self-reflection and the game's dialogue options. The gameplay utilizes Dishonored-like powers and melee/gun combat to dispatch foes.

Coming from the developers of Life is Strange, you can expect this game to be narrative-heavy with strong characters spread throughout the campaign. Mix that in with gameplay that looks like it'll reward experimentation and avoid forcing players to play any certain way (you can beat the game without killing anyone). Vampyr's expect to come out Q4 of 2017, so be sure to keep an eye out for the new definitive vampire gaming experience.
