Cho-For Charles
Cho-Cho Charles is an extremely unusual game, being a title that at first may even seem like a big joke. However, make no mistake, there is great potential!
In the game, you will have to explore an open world and carry out missions to strengthen your little train. Easy, right? Wrong! The big problem is that your ultimate goal is to defeat Charles, an evil train that will be at your feet for the entire journey.

Honorable Mention - Ghostwire: Tokyo
Ghostwire: Tokyo has everything to be one of the great highlights of the year, however it appears on our list as an honorable mention for being considered by many a game that fits into another genre.
The new title from Tango Gameworks is aiming as a first-person action and adventure game, but it drinks a lot from the source of horror to deliver many of its elements, whether in plot, setting, visuals and atmosphere.
