In the game, players become a group of children who are curious about the goings-on in the underground facility. Players will need to balance the challenges of everyday life - such as school bullies and demanding parents - with the weirder troubles presented by The Loop.
Lovers of classic sci-fi movies like ET or series such as Stranger Things would be remiss not to give Tales from the Loop a try.
This beloved roleplaying game is a veritable pick-and-mix of genre tropes, from science fiction and cyberpunk to fantasy. Shadowrun manages to fuse all of these somewhat disparate elements together into one stonkingly original setting. First published in , Shadowrun is an RPG that takes place in the near-future where corporations have finally taken the next step to complete world domination and have generally made things bad for literally everyone else.
Living in cities haunted by a past cataclysmic event, humans, elves, dwarves and other classic fantasy species attempt to survive their harsh and dangerous lives.
One important thing to note about Shadowrun is that, like many older RPGs, it contains several problematic elements related to the way it depicts species like orks and trolls as the result of the horrifying aftereffects of the aforementioned event.
One of these RPGs is called Scum and Villainy and sees players becoming a crew of spacefaring folks just looking to make a bit of money.
Whilst the game is clearly inspired by the likes of Star Wars and Firefly, it still manages to present its own original take on the sci-fi genre. Luckily enough, the Forged in the Dark system allows players to pause the game to describe a flashback during which their character and others can do something to prepare for their current heist. The more jobs players successfully pull off, the greater the reputation and the more work will come their way. The multi-million dollar video game is set in the world of a roleplaying franchise that began with the launch of the first edition of Cyberpunk back in Though the game can be unnecessarily bloated in some areas, such as the sheer amount of skills or the sluggish combat, Cyberpunk Red still shows how far the series has come since its initial conception - with the Jumpstart Kit providing newer players with a good jumping off point to get into the game.
Once you are into it, the world of Cyberpunk Red is a sprawling one filled with social commentary, engaging stories and a good mixture of the weird and the cool. Out of all the Darksiders games, of which there are four in total, Darksider 2 might just be the best at offering a pure dark-fantasy experience. In Darksiders 2 you take on the role of Death, one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. You are able to explore a wide variety of locations as Death from snowy and icy mountain peaks to open fields to creepy castles, Darksiders 2 has a lot to offer.
The gameplay here is varied and fun with a loot-driven system whereby Death can use an expansive arsenal of swords, scythes, axes, hammers, and the like. Even the incredible music in this game will have you feeling like you are on a true fantasy adventure. You take on the titular role of Alice who happens to be going insane after losing her family in a devastating house fire that she may or may not have something to do with.
Alice: Madness Returns takes the Alice charm but turns it on its head instead offering a very dark and macabre version of the classic story. This is a game that relishes in the horror side of the otherwise quite lively and fantastical Alice story.
The monsters you face are true aberrations and nightmare fuel but along the way, you will discover characters you know, albeit, with darker personas. Mass Effect 2 might be an odd entry to this list since it's not quite a fantasy game, but more of a sci-fi adventure. However, to dismiss Mass Effect 2 as only being a sci-fi game would degrade what is undoubtedly a dark fantasy, albeit, in a sci-fi setting. The world and lore surrounding Commander Shepherd, the Normandy, the Reapers, and the like is steeped in fantasy but with a dark, universe-ending tone.
The fantasy elements lie in the heart of exploration and combat whereby you explore exotic locales and meeting crazy, quirky, and downright creative characters, some of which join your party. The combat as well is filled with exciting and fantastical weaponry that is sure to scratch that dark sci-fi fantasy itch. Votes: 56, M Action, Crime, Drama.

Each of your customers comes to you with their drink orders and their worries, and thanks to great writing, your chats with the people on the other side of the bar do not only feel realistic, but leave you thoughtful about modern life and the direction we as humans are taking.
Space is generally a pretty perilous place, but hardly any game drives that point home as well as Oxygen Not Included does. As with many of the greatest games of this genre, flow will definitely set in, causing you to spend hours upon hours with your duplicates. The theme of an alien invasion on the other hand is as classic as they come. Films and literature have always made us want to become heroes who take on the intruders from up above, but X-COM turns that pretty simple premise into a highly tactical nail-biter which will have you invested into your squad not only because of the danger of losing the squad members with the best stats to permadeath, but also because we humans get attached to the things we get to give silly names.
Another great colony builder on this list, RimWorld lets you grow and manage a space civilisation to the point at which you actually get to build your own spaceship and go home.
