9 Best 2021 Video Games You're Not Playing

4. Overboard!

If titles like Among Us, Friday the 13th and Dead by Daylight have taught us anything, it's that being the killer and trying to get away with it can be SO much more fun than just being another potential victim.

Enter Overboard, a very tightly written repeat-timeline gem where you, Veronica Villensey, have straight-up murdered your husband on a busy ship currently sailing to New York, and you only have a limited amount of time to pin it on someone else.

Feeling like classic betrayal-encouraging tabletop game Avalon, you'll immediately start cosying up to certain characters and feeling out motivations on the ship, to see which openings present themselves.

Overboard is very much built around repeat playthroughs, as there's information from the sheer passage of time that you can't fully employ until you're on a fresh cycle, and know exactly where crew members or passengers are going to be.

From spikes of jazz trumpets on the score to just how memorable each character is written, every trip through this Groundhog Day-style murder-getaway setup will stick with you.
