6. Beyond a Steel Sky
A sequel of the 1994 game Beneath a Steel Sky, Beyond a Steel Sky is a futuristic thriller and adventure game. Naturally it comes with better visuals and gameplay with the story picking up 10 years after the events of the first game. The game did drag things along, with too many dialogue options. But the post apocalyptic cyberpunk storyline makes it a fun game to play.
