According to the publication, these games best capture the spirit of the 2010s — an era when ideas mattered more than technology, and storytelling and atmosphere outweighed graphics.

Earlier, the developers at The Chinese Room introduced the Toreador clan and revealed its features. This clan was also originally planned as paid content.
