00:00Isometric games are having their golden age on the PS5 right now, but most people are
00:05completely sleeping on the best ones.
00:08A lot of players skip them because the style feels a bit different.
00:12Sure, everyone knows Diablo, but what about the one where you lead an entire family through
00:17dungeons and then sit down for dinner afterward?
00:21Today, I'm breaking down 18 must-play isometric games, from cozy family adventures to titles
00:28that will absolutely make you question your moral pompous.
00:33One, Hades.
00:36Man, Hades is one of those games that grabs you before you even realize what's happening.
00:41You boot it up thinking, alright, one quick run, and suddenly it's 3am and you're bargaining
00:46with yourself like, okay, last one for real this time.
00:50The movement feels stupidly smooth, like your character is sliding on butter, but also somehow
00:55punching everything in sight.
00:56And every weapon feels good, even the ones you don't normally like in roguelikes.
01:02But the real magic?
01:03The characters.
01:04I swear, this game made me care about Greek gods more than any movie or show ever did.
01:10Every time you die, and trust me, you will, you actually get excited to return because
01:16there's new dialogue waiting for you.
01:18It's like the game rewards failure, which sounds crazy, but it works so perfectly here.
01:23And the music?
01:25Bro, those guitar riffs go way harder than they have any right to.
01:30It makes every fight feel way more intense.
01:33There were moments I literally paused the game just to breathe, because the boss fights get
01:37insane.
01:38If you've avoided roguelikes before because they look repetitive, this is the one that changes
01:43your mind.
01:44Hades isn't just a great isometric game.
01:47It's easily one of the best games of the last decade.
01:54Two?
01:55Baldur's Gate 3.
01:56Alright, look.
01:57Baldur's Gate 3 is not just a game.
02:00It's basically a giant what-if generator for your life.
02:03Every tiny decision spins the story into a completely different direction.
02:09You talk to a squirrel?
02:11Boom!
02:11Now you're in a whole side quest you didn't even know existed.
02:15You sneeze wrong?
02:16Suddenly everyone hates you.
02:18And the writing?
02:19Dude, the writing is ridiculous.
02:22I don't know how they manage to make every companion feel like a real person.
02:26Asterion will flirt with you, betray you, save you, roast you, then flirt with you again.
02:32Shadowheart constantly acts like she's too good for the group, but still heals you like
02:37your mom yelling while handing you medicine.
02:40The combat looks slow if you're watching gameplay, but once you're actually playing,
02:45it's like the most chaotic chess match ever.
02:48You're throwing characters off cliffs, setting everything on fire accidentally, and then pretending
02:53you planned it all along.
02:55And the freedom?
02:56Bro, you can literally seduce a druid who turns into a bear.
03:00I'm not saying you should, just that you can.
03:03If you want a game that feels more like an experience, something you'll talk about with
03:08friends for months, this is the one.
03:14Three, Disco Elysium.
03:17Now this one, man, this is different.
03:21Disco Elysium is the type of game you play when you want something heavy.
03:25Something weird, and something that sticks with you for a long time.
03:30Don't come here expecting fast combat or flashy abilities.
03:35Come here expecting your brain to work overtime.
03:38You play as the most dysfunctional detective alive, waking up after the mother of all disasters,
03:44and the game basically says, alright, figure out who you are, and maybe solve this murder too.
03:51And the wild part?
03:52Even your own thoughts argue with you.
03:55Literal voices in your head fighting for control.
03:58It's insane.
03:59In a good way.
04:01The writing is on another level.
04:03Like, I'm not kidding when I say some scenes hit harder than full-blown AAA cutscenes.
04:08You'll be laughing one minute, questioning your entire life the next.
04:12And the world is so depressing, yet somehow beautiful.
04:16Like a city that's barely holding itself together.
04:19If you love games that treat you like an adult, give you consequences that actually matter,
04:25and let you shape the story in ways that feel personal, this is a must play.
04:30It's not for everyone, but if it clicks with you, it hits hard.
04:34Number 4.
04:39Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition
04:42This is the game that made Baldur's Gate 3 even possible.
04:47And honestly, sometimes I think DOS 2 is still the king.
04:51The amount of freedom in this game is just stupid.
04:54You can steal anything, climb anywhere, explode half the room, or convince your enemies to
05:01fight each other while you chill in the corner pretending you're not involved.
05:05The combat system is one of the most addictive I've ever seen.
05:09Everything interacts with everything.
05:11Oil?
05:12Set it on fire.
05:14Water?
05:14Electrify it.
05:15Blood?
05:16Freeze it.
05:17There were moments I'd sit staring at the battlefield for a full minute like I was planning some
05:224D chess move that would make Sun Tzu proud.
05:25And playing with friends?
05:27Bro, that's when the game becomes absolute chaos.
05:31Someone always has that one friend who accidentally sets the party on fire every fight,
05:36and the game lets it happen.
05:38That's what makes it so good.
05:40The story is surprisingly deep too.
05:42You start feeling like just another adventurer.
05:44But the deeper you go, the more you realize how much is going on behind the scenes.
05:49Every companion has layers.
05:51Real emotional layers.
05:53Not the fake, my village burned down cliche.
05:56If you want a game where your creativity actually matters, and every fight feels like a puzzle
06:01you can break in the most ridiculous ways, this is the one.
06:085.
06:09Diablo 4
06:10Look, Diablo 4 is one of those games that makes you say,
06:15Alright, I'll just do one dungeon, and then suddenly you're knee-deep in loot, your coffee
06:21is cold, and three hours disappeared.
06:24Blizzard really leaned into the darker style this time, and honestly, it works.
06:28The world feels ruined, hopeless, and kind of beautiful at the same time.
06:34Walking into a new zone gives off that, oh man, what happened here feeling.
06:39The combat is pure dopamine.
06:42It's fast, chunky, and every hit feels like you're swinging a truck at demons.
06:47And the build variety?
06:49Dude, you can lose entire weekends just experimenting.
06:54You start with something simple, like a basic sorcerer, and a few hours later, you're some
06:59lightning god erasing entire screens of enemies.
07:02The story surprised me too.
07:05Lilith is probably one of the coolest villains Diablo has had in years.
07:09Every cutscene with her just hits different.
07:12And I love how the game actually lets you explore at your own pace.
07:16No rushing, no go here now or else.
07:20Playing with friends makes the game even better.
07:23Running dungeons together feels like that old school couch co-op energy, but online.
07:28And world bosses?
07:29Man, the first time you see one, you just stand there like,
07:34okay, I was not prepared for this.
07:37If you want an isometric game that's pure fun, pure chaos, and pure addiction,
07:43Diablo 4 absolutely delivers.
07:486.
07:50Octopath Traveler
07:51This one is honestly a comfort game for me.
07:55Octopath Traveler is like curling up with a really good fantasy book.
07:58Except the art style is so gorgeous, it almost feels handcrafted.
08:04The whole HD 2D look is insanely charming.
08:07It feels nostalgic and modern at the same time.
08:11And the lighting is just, bro, unfairly good.
08:15What I love most is how chill it is.
08:18You're not rushed, you pick a character, dive into their story, and go at your own speed.
08:23Some stories are emotional, some are weird, some are straight up sad.
08:28But all of them feel meaningful.
08:31And the voice acting?
08:32Way better than it has any right to be.
08:35The combat looks simple at first, but once you get into the whole break and boost system,
08:40it becomes this really satisfying rhythm.
08:44You start thinking ahead, saving abilities, and timing attacks so perfectly that you feel like a genius when everything lines up.
08:50And the soundtrack?
08:53Man, the soundtrack is stunning.
08:56And I'll say this lightly, it's one of the best JRPG soundtracks ever made.
09:01There were moments I would literally stop walking just to listen to the city themes.
09:06If you want a slow, beautiful, story-driven game that lets you breathe,
09:11but still gives you amazing battles and moments you'll remember,
09:14this one's a gem.
09:157. Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader
09:23This game is for the people who want something chunky.
09:26Something with deep RPG systems, long campaigns, and choices that actually matter.
09:32Rogue Trader hits that sweet spot between Baldur's Gate-style depth
09:36and Warhammer's ridiculous, over-the-top universe.
09:40You're basically commanding an entire Empire-sized spaceship
09:43while micromanaging a crew of absolute lunatics.
09:47The writing is surprisingly good.
09:50Every companion has that classic Warhammer,
09:52I might kill you, but I also respect you energy.
09:55And the moral choices?
09:56Dude, some of them had me staring at the screen like,
09:59uh, I don't think any of these are good options.
10:02Combat is turn-based, but super punchy.
10:06Guns feel loud, explosions feel messy,
10:08and the battlefield always looks like a disaster zone after a few rounds.
10:13And the game doesn't shy away from letting you break things.
10:16You can go full authoritarian, full heretic, or somewhere in the middle.
10:21And the world reacts.
10:23The scale of everything is huge.
10:25Planets, factions, politics.
10:27You feel like you're juggling 20 problems at once, but in a fun way.
10:32It's the kind of game where you finish a quest
10:34and realize you've been playing for four hours without noticing.
10:38If you want an isometric RPG with big stakes,
10:41big choices, and big Warhammer energy,
10:44Rogue Trader is absolutely worth your time.
10:508. Children of Morda
10:52Man, Children of Morda is just...
10:55beautiful.
10:56And not just the art style, which is incredible,
10:59but the whole vibe.
11:01It's one of the only isometric games I've ever played
11:04that made me feel like I was genuinely protecting a family.
11:07The Bergsons aren't just characters,
11:09they feel like people you actually care about.
11:12The gameplay mixes hack-and-slash action with roguelike progression,
11:16but it's so smooth and satisfying that even failing doesn't feel bad.
11:20Every run gives you something.
11:22A new upgrade, a new story beat,
11:24a new character getting stronger,
11:26and each family member plays completely differently.
11:29I loved switching between them just to see how the story reacted.
11:32And the narration, dude,
11:35the narrator makes the entire experience feel like someone is reading you a bedtime story
11:39right before sending you into this dangerous, corrupted world.
11:43It's cozy and terrifying at the same time.
11:46There are moments in this game that genuinely hit emotionally.
11:50Stuff about family, sacrifice, and sticking together.
11:53It's crazy how a pixel art game can punch you in the heart harder than most realistic AAA games.
11:59If you want a game that's fun, unique, and surprisingly heartfelt,
12:03one that mixes action with real warmth,
12:06Children of Morda is an absolute must-play.
12:129. Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous
12:15Alright, let me be straight with you.
12:18Wrath of the Righteous is huge.
12:21Like, you might accidentally lose an entire month of your life huge.
12:25This is the kind of RPG where you start thinking you're just a regular hero on a quest,
12:30and then suddenly you're commanding armies,
12:33making deals with demons,
12:35and deciding the fate of entire kingdoms.
12:37It escalates fast.
12:39The game throws so many choices at you
12:41that sometimes you just sit there like,
12:43bro, why am I in charge of this?
12:45But that's exactly what makes it so good.
12:48Every decision feels massive.
12:51And the mythic paths?
12:52Dude, they're insane.
12:53You want to become an angel?
12:55Go for it.
12:56A lich raising skeleton bros?
12:58Absolutely.
12:59A literal demon?
13:01Sure, why not?
13:02Combat is crunchy and satisfying,
13:05especially if you like planning things out.
13:07There's a ton of depth,
13:09sometimes too much,
13:10but once you understand how things work,
13:12it's like running a perfectly tuned machine.
13:15And when your team pops off,
13:16man, it feels good.
13:18The writing surprised me too.
13:20Some of the companion stories hit way harder than I expected.
13:24This isn't save the world because reasons.
13:27It's messy, morally complicated,
13:30and honestly kind of epic.
13:32If you want an isometric game that treats you like a grown adult
13:35who can handle massive storytelling,
13:37complex combat,
13:39and choices with real consequences,
13:41Pathfinder delivers.
13:4210.
13:47Wasteland 3
13:48Wasteland 3 is basically what happens
13:51when a post-apocalyptic RPG
13:53decides it wants to be both hilarious
13:55and brutal at the same time.
13:58One minute you're negotiating with a cult
14:00that worships Ronald Reagan like he's a literal god,
14:03and the next you're in a gunfight
14:04that leaves half your squad bleeding out in the snow.
14:07It has range.
14:08The writing is honestly some of the funniest I've ever seen in a game.
14:13It's dark humor,
14:14but it never feels forced.
14:16Characters insult you,
14:17weird factions pop up everywhere,
14:19and the missions constantly surprise you.
14:22There's always that moment where you go,
14:24wait,
14:24they actually put this in the game?
14:27Combat is turn-based and super tactical.
14:30It really rewards good positioning and planning.
14:33Blowing up an entire group of enemies
14:34with one well-placed shot never gets old.
14:37And building your squad?
14:39Bro, that's half the fun.
14:40You can create some absolute monsters.
14:43Colorado, as weird as it is,
14:45feels like a real place.
14:47Snow everywhere,
14:48strange towns,
14:50messed up politics.
14:51It's all so atmospheric.
14:53And the choices?
14:54Some of them legitimately made me sit back
14:56and think for a minute.
14:57If you want an isometric RPG with personality,
15:01dark humor,
15:01and combat that feels amazing when you get it right,
15:04Wasteland 3 is a must-play.
15:0611.
15:11Aliens Dark Descent.
15:13This game shocked me,
15:14in the best way.
15:16Aliens Dark Descent looks like a simple tactical game
15:19at first glance,
15:19but once you start playing,
15:21oh man,
15:22the tension hits different.
15:24You're controlling a squad of marines
15:26trying to survive against xenomorphs,
15:28and it feels like you're always one mistake away from a massacre.
15:31It nails the atmosphere of the movies.
15:34Dark hallways,
15:35motion trackers beeping,
15:36everyone yelling,
15:37we need to get out now!
15:38It's stressful in a fun way.
15:40The kind of stress where your palms get sweaty,
15:42but you keep going anyway.
15:44What makes it awesome is how every mission has consequences.
15:48If you push too hard,
15:49your squad gets traumatized,
15:51exhausted,
15:51or straight up killed.
15:52And losing a veteran marine
15:54hurts more than losing loot in any other game.
15:57You actually care about your squad.
15:59The strategy is deep too.
16:01You're setting up turrets,
16:02watching your motion tracker like a paradoid maniac,
16:05planning escape routes,
16:06and praying nothing bursts through the vents.
16:08And when a mission goes right,
16:10dude,
16:11you feel like an absolute genius.
16:13If you want an isometric game
16:15that makes this horror,
16:16tension,
16:17and smart strategy
16:18without holding your hand,
16:20Aliens Dark Descent is fantastic.
16:2612.
16:27Helldivers.
16:28This one is just pure chaos.
16:31And I mean that in the best way.
16:33Helldivers feels like someone handed you
16:35the universe's most unstable weapons and said,
16:38go fight for democracy.
16:39Try not to die.
16:40And guess what?
16:41You're gonna die.
16:43A lot.
16:44The best part is that everything,
16:46and I mean everything,
16:47can kill you.
16:48Enemies,
16:49explosions,
16:50your teammates,
16:51your own drops.
16:52It's hilarious.
16:54No matter how coordinated your squad thinks it is,
16:56someone's getting flattened by a supply pod.
16:59But dude,
17:00when your team actually works together,
17:02when you're calling in airstrikes,
17:04covering each other,
17:05sprinting to the extraction
17:06while bugs swarm from every direction,
17:08it's some of the most fun co-op gameplay ever made.
17:12The missions are short,
17:14punchy,
17:14and straight to the point.
17:16Get in,
17:16survive the madness,
17:18complete objectives,
17:18and get out.
17:19And every time you rank up,
17:21you unlock new toys that make the chaos even crazier.
17:24This game isn't about perfection.
17:27It's about laughing at the dumb ways you died
17:29and going right back in.
17:30If you love co-op games that don't take themselves too seriously,
17:33but still deliver insane action,
17:36Helldivers is a must play.
17:3713,
17:43Cult of the Lamb.
17:45Man,
17:46Cult of the Lamb is one of the strangest combinations
17:49that somehow works flawlessly.
17:51It's cute,
17:53creepy,
17:53wholesome,
17:54and completely messed up
17:56all at the same time.
17:58You're literally a tiny,
17:59adorable lamb
18:00running a demonic cult.
18:03And the fact that the game makes this feel normal
18:06is honestly hilarious.
18:08Half the game is action combat,
18:10which feels surprisingly smooth.
18:12And the other half is basically running a little village.
18:15You're cleaning up after your followers,
18:18cooking for them,
18:19building stuff,
18:20and then casually sacrificing someone.
18:22Because,
18:23hey,
18:23the ritual says so.
18:25And the craziest part?
18:26You actually start getting attached
18:28to these weird little followers.
18:31The writing is playful but dark,
18:33and the art style is ridiculously charming.
18:36It's like someone mixed Animal Crossing
18:38with a horror movie,
18:39shook the bottle,
18:40and said,
18:40yeah,
18:41that's probably fine.
18:42And every upgrade you unlock
18:44just makes everything even more addictive.
18:46Before you know it,
18:47you're planning the perfect cult layout
18:50like some kind of evil interior designer.
18:53If you want an isometric game
18:54that doesn't take itself too seriously,
18:56but still has surprisingly fun combat
18:59and a ton of personality,
19:00this one is a blast from start to finish.
19:0314.
19:08Tunic
19:08Tunic is one of those games
19:10that feels like discovering a hidden treasure.
19:13It looks cute and simple on the outside,
19:16like a little fox on a Zelda-style adventure.
19:19But once you get into it,
19:20bro,
19:21this game is deep.
19:23The world design is brilliant.
19:25Instead of telling you things directly,
19:27the game nudges you,
19:29gives you little hints,
19:30and lets you figure everything out on your own.
19:33That sense of discovery?
19:34I haven't felt that in years.
19:37You'll constantly go,
19:38wait,
19:39I can do that?
19:40The whole in-game manual mechanic is genius too.
19:44Finding those pages is addicting
19:46because every one unlocks some new mechanic
19:49or secret you totally missed.
19:52It makes you feel smart,
19:53like the game is rewarding your curiosity.
19:56Combat can actually get pretty tough,
19:59but it's the good kind of tough.
20:01When you beat a boss,
20:02you feel like you earned it,
20:03not like you got lucky.
20:05And the soundtrack?
20:06Magical.
20:07Straight up magical.
20:09If you want a game that looks cute
20:11but hides a ton of mystery,
20:14challenge,
20:14and heart underneath,
20:16Tunic is absolutely worth your time.
20:2315.
20:24The Ascent.
20:25This game is pure cyberpunk eye candy.
20:29The Ascent drops you into a neon-drenched,
20:32grimy sci-fi world
20:33that feels alive in the best way.
20:36Every corner has something glowing,
20:38sparking,
20:39exploding,
20:40or yelling at you.
20:41It's busy,
20:42chaotic,
20:43and honestly beautiful.
20:45The shooting feels chunky and powerful.
20:48Enemies explode
20:49and showers of color and sparks.
20:51And the sound design
20:52makes everything feel heavy.
20:55You can customize your weapons,
20:56your character,
20:57your skills,
20:58and every upgrade feels like
21:00it actually matters.
21:02But the best part?
21:03The atmosphere.
21:05This world feels lived in.
21:07You're walking past broken robots,
21:09weird aliens arguing,
21:11giant corporations treating everyone like trash.
21:14It's basically the future we're all terrified of,
21:17but way cooler to look at.
21:19Co-op is crazy fun too.
21:21The explosions get even more chaotic,
21:23and half the time you don't even know what's happening,
21:26but you're laughing and blasting everything anyway.
21:29If you want an isometric game that looks insane,
21:32plays like a twin-stick shooter on steroids,
21:34and throws you into a world you'll want to explore every inch of,
21:38The Ascent is a must.
21:40All right, Path of Exile is not just a game.
21:54It's a lifestyle.
21:56This thing is massive.
21:57If you like builds,
22:00theory crafting,
22:01numbers,
22:02min-maxing,
22:03and breaking games,
22:04PoE is basically Disneyland.
22:07The skill tree is so big,
22:10it looks like someone spilled spaghetti on your screen.
22:12But once it clicks,
22:14oh man,
22:15it becomes pure addiction.
22:18The combat is fast,
22:20brutal,
22:20and insanely satisfying.
22:22You go from hitting enemies with a stick at level one,
22:26to screen-nuking god-tier monsters
22:28like you're firing a nuke launcher out of your hands.
22:31The progression is wild.
22:33And the seasons,
22:35or leagues,
22:36keep the game fresh constantly.
22:39Every few months,
22:39there's new mechanics,
22:41new loot,
22:41new ideas.
22:42It's like getting a new game over and over.
22:45The customization is the real selling point.
22:48You can build literally anything,
22:51a fire wizard,
22:52a poison ninja,
22:54a minion overlord,
22:55some weird hybrid that shouldn't work,
22:57but somehow does.
22:59And when your build comes together,
23:01it feels incredible.
23:03If you love isometric action RPGs
23:06that give you complete freedom to experiment,
23:09grind,
23:10and create absurdly powerful characters,
23:13Path of Exile is hands down one of the best.
23:2017.
23:21Nex Machina
23:22Nex Machina is straight-up chaos
23:25in the best possible way.
23:27This is one of those games
23:28where the moment you pick up the controller,
23:30your brain just locks in
23:32and you enter full gamer mode.
23:34It's fast,
23:35it's loud,
23:35it's bright,
23:36bullets flying everywhere,
23:38enemies popping up from every corner,
23:40and you're just dodging and blasting
23:42like your life depends on it.
23:44Housemarque knows exactly
23:45how to make arcade shooters feel amazing.
23:48And this one might be their peak.
23:50Every movement is buttery smooth,
23:53the controls respond instantly,
23:54and the game constantly pushes you to play better.
23:57It's the kind of game where dying doesn't even make you mad.
24:01You just think,
24:01okay,
24:02I can do that way cleaner
24:03and dive right back in.
24:05The levels explode with color and effects,
24:08but it never feels confusing.
24:10You always know what's happening,
24:12even when the screen looks like a firework factory exploded.
24:15And when you hit that perfect flow,
24:17man,
24:18it feels unreal.
24:19If you love twin stick shooters
24:21that test your reflexes,
24:23your focus,
24:24and your sanity in a good way,
24:26Nex Machina is a full-on rush you won't forget.
24:3318. Ruiner
24:35Ruiner feels like stepping straight into the darkest corner
24:39of a cyberpunk nightmare.
24:41And honestly,
24:42that's a compliment.
24:43This game is stylish as hell.
24:45Everything is drenched in neon lights,
24:48gritty shadows,
24:50and a soundtrack that just punches you in the chest.
24:53From the second you start,
24:54the game hits you with this intense,
24:56frantic energy.
24:58The combat is fast,
24:59sharp,
25:00and really aggressive.
25:01You're dashing,
25:02slashing,
25:03shooting,
25:04and swapping weapons non-stop.
25:06It's almost like a rhythm game,
25:08but with violence.
25:09When you get into the groove,
25:10it feels insanely satisfying.
25:13The world building is surprisingly good too.
25:16You meet all these weird,
25:17broken characters,
25:19corporations that feel way too real,
25:21and environments that look like they're falling apart,
25:24but still somehow beautiful.
25:26It's a short game,
25:27but it sticks with you because of the vibe.
25:30That heavy,
25:31neon-soaked,
25:32everything is messed up,
25:33but let's keep going,
25:34vibe.

25:37brutally fun,
