20. Get Even
Release date - 2016.
The authors of this first-person shooter decided to erase the classic division between single-player and multiplayer modes. Other users can invade the battlefield and take the place of one of the enemy characters. So players never know if their opponent is human or AI. This uncertainty only intensifies the sense of threat, and tickles the nerves.
Also, Get Even will not have the usual dialogues and cut-scenes. They will be replaced by elements of gameplay, exploration and interaction with the environment.
The plot of the game revolves around a secret squad, which will have to fight various supernatural beings.
19. ELEX
The release date is 2017.
One of the most anticipated PC games of 2017, from the developers of the famous Gothic.

Players will have to act in a huge world full of original characters and mutated creatures.
18. Half-Life 3
The release date is unknown.
Many gamers are eagerly awaiting any news or at least rumors about the state of the Half-Life 3 project. How is Gordon Freeman doing there, when will he continue to fight against the Alliance?

16. Vampyr
The release date is 2018.
This game is not about the sugary and glamorous bloodsuckers, as you-know-in-some-movie. This is a harsh and dark game about a man who was turned into a vampire against his will. Desperately clinging to the remnants of humanity, military surgeon Jonathan E. Reid is forced to kill to survive. And human blood reveals supernatural skills in him.
