Magicka

Finally a small studio has put out a decent game. All too often small studios produce games that look cheap, have a shit plot line and are just BORING. Magicka completely changes the game. Designed by arrowhead studios magicka uses a 8 element system to produce Magicks, the main way of killing things in the game. Sounds confusing but after a while it becomes very intuitive.

With an engaging campaign with replayability (often a gaping hole in small studio games) magicka also brings a challenge mode, survive waves of enemies and a PvP mode. With the many dlc packs the challenge mode becomes almost as extensive as the campaign and 4 new pseudo-campaigns give even more. This cheap as chips game is better than almost all large studio games and definitely deserves a place on the steam best buys list.
