McPixel 3 is one of those “odd” games that try to change how we perceive video games. In McPixel 3, you take on the role of a wanna-be pixelated hero who must save the day using unconventional methods. Just like its predecessor, the puzzle solutions in McPixel 3 are absurdist and nonsensical, forcing the player to think well outside the box by constantly interacting with and combining objects using trial and error to see what happens.

While it doesn’t look like much, McPixel 3 offers addicting gameplay with over 100 unique levels, each with its own absurdist twists and turns. McPixel 3 also introduces new gameplay mechanics to the series including a
brand-new costume system, a city hub, and a level editor, to give you more control over its gameplay.

We gamers definitely love a good post-apocalyptic game, but common’hood takes a bit of a different approach. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, Common’hood is a community-building and management simulator where players must rebuild a society from scratch by scavenging for materials, building new structures, growing crops, and researching new technologies.

The game's highly customizable base-building tools allow for boundless creativity, ensuring that no two societies are alike. But this game’s not just about constructing buildings; it's about creating a sustainable and
harmonious ecosystem.

Common’hood also has a rich social element to it which allow players to form alliances, trade goods, and collaborate on grand projects together that benefit everyone. If you want to show off your
creative side, Common’hood is definitely worth putting down on your list.
