This time we will talk about future projects that have already won the status of ” masterpieces”.
Most often, gaming companies announce their future new products a year or even a few years before release. They use the remaining time not only to complete production, but also to draw attention to the project.
And if you carefully collect information about the upcoming work, watch trailers and screenshots, delve into the mechanics and study information about the plot, then you can get a big picture. It will be about 95% correct, because sometimes there are exceptions – both pleasant and not so good.
Understanding the general concept allows you to find out how high-quality the project will turn out, and whether it will be in demand among the audience. However, there is not always the time and desire to engage in such a thorough analysis. Separating truth from marketing promises is sometimes difficult, and reading a bunch of texts that are not always accompanied by translation can be tiring.
HB has collected ten games that are guaranteed to become masterpieces. They are primarily worthy of attention among all upcoming projects.

He came home from work one evening and sat down at the table to enjoy a romantic dinner with his wife. Soon after that, a policeman broke into their house, accused the protagonist’s beloved of murder, and beat him to a pulp.
