2018 has just started and the first level games, more or less famous, have started their "dance of the shelves". Among many various exclusives and titles awaited for years, there are titles that have had little to do with the spotlight, but that after having known them you certainly won't want to get lost! In fact, the risk is just that: missing out on some goodies that could turn out to be small masterpieces, perhaps only because with a media campaign behind them far below average. The purpose of this list is precisely to show you some games coming out in 2018, many of which will surely have escaped your attention given the amount of ads and content that arrived during the last year!
Agony
Agony is a very special title, developed by the Polish software house, Madmind Studios, which will be released on March 30, 2018 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.

E
Title developed by the Iron Galaxy studio, E will arrive on PlayStation 4, PC and Xbox One on April 10th.

This is the plot of the interesting game, in which you will play as Avil, one of the last defenders of the world, who thanks to his skills will have to oppose the waves of the Ravenii. The peculiarity of this game is the incredible similarity, at the level of game mechanics, with the Attack of the Giants (for example, even here you can run on the roofs of houses and then perform air attacks).
Project Wight
Little is known about this title, it should be released during this year, and the arrival is expected only on PC.

Dreams it will be a PlayStation 4 exclusive and of course PlayStation 4 Pro due out later this year. The game is developed by Media Molecule, the same ones who produced another very famous title or Little Big Planet. In the game you will have the opportunity to create your dreams and fantasies, in order to share them with other "dreamers".

What the Guildford guys wanted to create is a creative experience, which will allow you to give space to your imagination. Despite this, the title will still have a campaign, which will last 5 hours, and will be used to accumulate materials, objects and ideas that you will need later to give life to your creations.

Moss is a title that can be played starting February 27 with PlayStation VR, and is developed by Polyarc.

One day an ancient power awakens, and Quill will connect to you, from now on you will become an active part of the story.

Graveyard Keeper
Directly from the creators of Punch Club arrives, during 2018, this particular management program in which you will have to take care ... of a cemetery! The game will be available on PC and Xbox One. Title with a very different style than the other games we have presented to you so far, Graveyard Keeper it still makes a good impression with its colorful and very retro graphics'.

The protagonist will have the opportunity to govern the vessels, also because the whole adventure will be set on an island. Your goal will be to recover a medicine, which serves to eradicate the epidemic that has broken out among the population. Greedfall, however, is not the classic action role-playing game that Spiders Games has accustomed us to, but it is more of a slow-paced title, in which it will be possible to fully explore all the settings, to look for clues and deepen the mythology of the game.
Book of the Dead
Book of the Dead is an interactive experience, showing the features of Unity 2018. The game was developed by the award-winning Unity Demo Team, who wanted to combine elements of movies and games. The environments are built in a way that allows the player to move and explore freely, the camera is in first person and when the player is teleported to a different location, the transition feels like a cinematic cut - the camera is definitely the highlight. The height, speed, and shake reflect the protagonist's emotional state and change as the player progresses through the story.
Fe
Very particular game for its graphics and game dynamics, Fe will arrive on February 16 on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
