Iconoclasts
Underrated PS4 Games to Play in 2018
You might have missed this one back in January when games like Monster Hunter: World, Shadow of the Colossus, and Celeste were rocking your world, but Iconoclasts is a true indie gem that deserves a bit of the spotlight too.
The game follows the story of Robin, a young girl who just wants to be a mechanic. However, without a proper license, Mother (a religious authority in the game’s world) regards her as a sinner. Robin just wants to help to fix things, though, and as the world continues to fall apart around her and agents start going after her friends, she finds herself caught up in a conspiracy.
Iconoclasts features a truly gorgeous 2D pixel art style with beautifully animated cutscenes. It’s a platforming adventure game that features innovative boss battles, puzzles, and fun mechanics to learn. It’s just unfortunate that it released so close to several other major releases at the start of 2018, and got overshadowed as a result.
