My Top Ten Games

My Top Ten Games                                       In the list below is my top ten games, these are the games I play on a regular basis and I enjoy(ed) the most . The Metro Series The Metro series is a first person post-apocalyptic survival horror game. The game has two play through modes. Spartan which makes the game action orientated and gives players more resources. The other play through style is survival where resources are limited, AI are much harder to defeat and slower reload speeds. The games' artstyle is exaggerated in the subterranean world but the creatures in the game are cartoonish.      Metro Redux Trailer Lords of the Fallen  Lords of the Fallen is a fantasy action RPG. Its difficulty level has been compared to Dark Souls and Bloodborne for its hard bosses and the rage inducing gameplay. The combat in the game is letting us have fun without pain. Even thought the game is 17 hours long its still an awesome but gruelling experience.
