Games like Resident Evil 4, when the ammo runs short

Games like Resident Evil 4, picked for the balance Leon's village strikes: a gun that feels good in your hands and never quite enough ammo to use it freely.

Games like Starfield that let you keep flying the ship

Games like Starfield, picked for the part that actually sticks: a ship you fly yourself, a hold full of salvage, and somewhere worth grav-jumping to.

Games like Hogwarts Legacy, chosen for places worth poking at and for spell systems that go further than the castle's talent trees.

Games like Styx: Master of Shadows, where fighting is a mistake

Stealth games like Styx: Master of Shadows, picked for vertical level design and for the moment when being seen means starting the whole sequence again.
