10) Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture
With all the hallmarks of a crowd-funded PC game, it may come as a surprise that The Chinese Room’s quiet successor to indie intrigue Dear Esther is in fact a PS4 exclusive. Regardless of your opinion on their recent take on the Amnesia series, there can be absolutely no denying that TCR knows how to craft an uncommonly atmospheric experience. And it’s this game, above the million dollar explosion-fest of Killzone, that makes me crave the new PlayStation.
Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture puts you in the trembling shoes of six ordinary people who face the prospect of the world’s demise in the sleepy English county of Shropshire. Or probably that, anyway, but it’s gone through several iterations during production (including the now thankfully defunct idea of a one hour’s play time-limit), and is more than likely to change again. Either way, it’s definitely shaping up to be something beautiful, intelligent and most importantly, genuinely fascinating. Take a look at the announcement trailer below and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
