13 Awesome Summer 2018 Video Games You Probably Missed
10. Dead Cells
Though it received a significant PR boost following that unfortunate IGN review controversy, Dead Cells is still flying surprisingly low visibility-wise considering it's one of the best-reviewed games of the year.
A gorgeous, tenaciously designed roguelike-metroidvania hybrid, Dead Cells sees the player controlling a body of cells which they can use to possess corpses in the hope of escaping a huge, sprawling dungeon. Yup.
It's a deliciously twisted set-up for what could so easily be just another me-too dungeon-crawler, but thanks to addictive progression mechanics, diverse enemies and gameplay that consistently challenges the player, this is one of the genre's best efforts in quite some time.
If you loathe repetition and permadeath there are better games for you, but if you're a fan of the genre, this absolutely cannot be missed.
