Escape these long summer nights by embarking on an adventure like never before.
To help you decide where you want to go, we asked around the Overclockers UK office and compiled this list of our favourite adventure games for you to play this weekend!
Stray:
Adventure through a long-forgotten cybercity through the eyes of a cat in Stray.
Roam high or low through the streets and uncover the mysteries surrounding the city and its inhabitants. Defend yourself against dangerous, unforeseen threats and make friends along the way as you try to find your way home. Or maybe perhaps just take a nap on a cowboy robot instead.
