3. Left 4 Dead
Genre: Zombie Horror
Feel like shooting down some zombies? Maybe hundreds as they wildly run towards you. Then this is the game for it! You must know that this game has one of the best algorithms, in the sense that the better you get at it, the more challenging it becomes.

The creepers, of course, keep things interesting, always offering you just a tad amount of distraction that actually breaks the monotony of building.
5. Portal 2
Genre: Sci-Fi/Puzzle/Comedy
Just the fact that this game has to be classified in three genres; sci-fi, puzzle, and comedy, should tell you something. It is truly unique.
