Deus Ex: Human Revolution
| Release date: | 2013-10-25 |
| Genre: | Shooter & Puzzle |
| Developer: | Eidos Montreal |
Future in Deus Ex: Human Revolution isn’t that far away from our times. Human augmentations have become the norm thanks to rapidly advancing technology and the body is no longer a limitation. Adam Jensen, the main character with a modified body with mechanical cybernetic implants, had to protect key people, but after their death, new secrets came to light.
This game is a mix of role-play and action with events set before the first part of the series. Although the voice acting does not always sound perfect, the science fiction world makes up for the imperfections and shows a different side to the times of conspiracy and mayhem.

The Outer Worlds
| Release date: | 2023-03-07 |
| Genre: | Shooter & Role-playing (RPG) |
| Developer: | Obsidian Entertainment |
The Outer Worlds, reminiscent of the Fallout series, is set entirely outside the Earth setting. Humans have colonised the new star system, but you are one of the few stuck somewhere on the way to the destination. A scientist has entrusted you with waking up the rest of the group, but it’s not as easy as you might think.
The open-space locations you have to search are full of side-quests and NPCs. Thank to them you will collect experience and in-game currency, which you can exchange for weapons. The game mechanics are perfectly complemented by a storyline that you can manipulate by choosing your character’s reactions in the dialogue options.

| Genre: | Shooter & Role-playing (RPG) & Adventure |
| Developer: | Bethesda Game Studios |
The Milky Way galaxy is your oyster. Bethesda has risen to the challenge and allowed players to explore up to 120 star systems. Consistency has been maintained and the game developer has smuggled in its characteristic quest style. The freedom of choice and customisation of a spaceship or weapons is a breath of fresh air.
The game offers tons of options for how you approach situations, and the customisation system allows you to design your ship—from interior colour to weapons for combat.

Cyberpunk 2077 may not have had an ideal start, but that hasn’t stopped it from being positively received by players. As a result of a failed assignment, your character comes into possession of a chip that contains the consciousness of a person who died over 50 years ago.
As befits an RPG, you will be challenged by difficult choices, battles with enemies and action-packed situations. Weapons are customisable, NPCs behave depending on the weather and the open world is full of diverse locations.

Commander Shepard, an elite human soldier, returns to the living and he must complete the crew to stop a mysterious alien race known as the Collectors, who are abducting human colonies across the galaxy.
