### BY NEON SERPENT

Sometimes you just need to set down the gun, put away your pickaxe, stick your football in the closet and just go for a walk. Take a break. Get some perspective on these videogames you like so much. *ULTRAWORLD* provides a lush blocky landscape and a companion to do that with. The experience is akin to taking a stroll through a wooded path, lazily batting questions back and forth with a friend about the nature of art, of games, of storytelling. Doesn’t that sound relaxing?

**Perfect for**: People with a fondness for moseying, fans of *FRACT OSC*‘s aesthetics, virtual explorers

**Playtime**: Two to four hours.

## VALIANT HEARTS ([iOS, XBOX ONE/360, PLAYSTATION 4/3, PC](http://valianthearts.ubi.com/game/en-US/stall/index.aspx?mc%5Fcid=61b019f633&mc%5Feid=c21494a11a&ref=killscreen.com))

### BY UBISOFT MONTPELLIER

The unglamorous battles of WWI, with stalemate after stalemate ending in nothing but trench foot, don’t often lend themselves well to videogames. But *Valiant Hearts* remedies this deftly, by focusing on the real action: people’s tragic, war-torn lives. Inhabit four captivating characters of different nationalities, races, and genders as they survive a world reeling from conflict. The game is now for iOS, so you can grapple with its complexities while waiting for your lunch.

**Perfect for**: History buffs, puzzle-adventurers, people immune to trench foot

**Playtime**: Six hours.

## METRO REDUX ([PC, PS4, XBOX ONE](http://enterthemetro.com/us/age/?ref=killscreen.com))

### BY 4A GAMES

Post-apocalyptic Moscow is somehow even more daunting than the American wastelands of the *Fallout* series. Everything screams *ostranenie*: defamiliarized, taken and made strange, then sprinkled with radiation monsters. Whether this is your first trip into the *Metro* series or you’ve lived your life in a Russian subway station, *Metro Redux* is not only the best version of *Metro: 2033*, it’s also the best version of sequel *Metro: Last Light*. Finish summer indoors.

**Perfect for**: Lovers of Dmitry Glukhovsky,*Fallout,* and subway dwellers

**Playtime**: Two somber trips through hell.
