XEL
“A 3D, open-world platformer set in a mysterious world that blends sci-fi and fantasy components, Xel might get a couple of factors for visuals and its unique story. However do not mistake Xel for Zelda: The previous is so unpolished and irritating that few players can have a lot enjoyable enjoying it.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Version
“An “enhanced” port of a reasonably good 1997 point-and-click sci-fi journey recreation set inside the identical universe as the primary Blade Runner movie, this remaster was not the hit that the unique was.
