In this list, we’re going to look at some of the more honorable mentions from the past several years that either got overlooked or were unfortunately shot down by the first people to play them.
1. Dead Eyes
Dead Eyes is a turn-based tactical game in which you have to evade zombies and get to an objective for each level. If any zombie has direct sight of you (horizontally or vertically), the darn zed will follow you. If you break from their sight, they will go to the last square they saw you, which can make some of the levels a pain in the butt. Good news: You can also make zombies walk into each other, stunning them for a few turns. Everything can get fairly intense, especially seeing every zombie chasing you all at once.You can get Dead Eyes on iOS for $2.99.
2. In Fear I Trust
In Fear I Trust is a first-person horror game in which you play as a man who has the ability of retrospective visions, meaning he can view the past and find important hints and clues. Your goal is to escape a horrifying facility, where you come across many obstacles and puzzles along the way. Something else that’s cool about it? It’s got a very noticeable Condemned 2: BloodShot vibe going on.You can get In Fear I Trust on iOS for $2.99.
3. Back to the Future: The Game
