Created in our image and equipped with impressive intelligence or powerful combat gadgets – robots. Who doesn’t love them? They add life to the plot like nothing else, and today we will find out how.
The game doesn’t need a droid in the leading role to be one of the best robot titles. They come under many disguises like RPGs, survival, shooter, or strategy titles. All a game like this needs is some electronic characters as allies or enemies. And this is where the magic happens! Not equipped with human intuition, machines make the best dialogue lines, the funniest scenes, and the scariest bosses to fight. Make yourself at home if you also absolutely appreciate these unique beings, as we present you a list of the best games in this category!
