The Best Games To Play This Fall

Fall is in the air. It's hard to believe, but there's a chill in the air, the days are getting shorter, and the end of the year is nigh. What better time to jump into some great games that "understand the assignment," so to speak? If you're ready to ring in the season and watching the leaves turn or carving pumpkins isn't doing much for you, then why not see the best of what fall has to offer by playing these great fall-flavored games? Here are our picks for some of the best games to play this fall.

Life is Strange

Max Caulfield might seem like a normal, everyday high school student, but she's hiding an incredible secret: she can rewind time. In Dontnod's touching, narrative-driven adventure Life is Strange, we get to know Max, her life in the beautiful town of Arcadia Bay, and the secrets of her past -- including her relationship with her best friend Chloe. Fall sets in during the game, and it punctuates some of its most colorful moments. The game will break your heart, sure, but fall might very well be the best time to experience heartbreak. And you'll fall hard for Life is Strange's colorful cast. It's a great time to play this first entry, too, because Life is Strange: True Colors just hit the scene and it's going to be another exciting entry.

What Remains of Edith Finch

This macabre narrative from Giant Sparrow is a collection of unique tales that explore the Washington-based Finch family. They've all met with horrible fates, which you as Edith Finch will uncover as you make your way through the game. But the dark, spooky nature of each family member's passing feels a lot like a Halloween tale, and you'll know exactly what you mean when you jump in and give the game a try.
