Overall, it’s a fine addition to the series.
#8. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China
- Release Data: Climax Studios/Ubisoft, 2015

Assassins Creed Chronicles: China does an impressive job of taking the lore and core mechanics of the series and making them work in a 2D game.
It’s slick, fast-paced and entertaining, with some beautiful stylized art, and all it lacks is a little magic to turn it from a good spin-off into a great one.
#7. Rise of the Tomb Raider: Baba Yaga – The Temple of the Witch
- Release Data: Crystal Dynamics/Square Enix, 2016
- Genre: Action Adventure » Linear
As a short, fun burst of content and an excuse to revisit the things that you loved about Rise of the Tomb Raider, Baba Yaga works.
If you don’t mind a short DLC, with a new area to explore, and a new villain to fight, then you should definitely play Rise of the Tomb Raider: Baba Yaga.
#6. Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
- Release Data: Crystal Dynamics/Square Enix, 2014
- Genre: Action Adventure » Linear
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris is a solid evolution of the formula established in the original, and does a fantastic job of encapsulating the old Tomb Raider atmosphere and presenting it in a smaller world.
The platforming isn’t the best, and it isn’t the longest game around, but it’s a blast to play either alone or with friends.
#5. The Little Acre
- Release Data: Curve Digital, 2016

#4. Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition
- Release Data: Capcom, 2015

#3. Little Nightmares
- Release Data: Tarsier Studios/Bandai Namco Games, 2017

There’s a real tense of dread in Little Nightmares that is hard to quantify.

From demented creatures to her own internal demons, Six will have to fight off some truly creepy stuff if she wants to survive.
#2. DmC: Devil May Cry Definitive Edition
- Release Data: QLOC/Capcom, 2015
- Genre: Action Adventure » Linear
Although the original series had a lot of style, DmC adds a healthy dose of punk rock influence to the mix.
The hack and slash gameplay is visually stunning, and the extensive combo system will have you doing more than just mash buttons.
There’s also a surprising amount of replayability, mostly due to the multiple difficulty levels and unlockable skills.
#1. Rise of the Tomb Raider
