Celebrate the publisher's 15th anniversary with our top picks
Rogue Spirit
Global video game publisher 505 Games began back in 2006 from the heart of Milan - home of Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper', Il Marchesino risotto and the grand Piazza del Duomo.
More importantly, it's the origin story of where 505 came from - as a subsidiary of Italian games company Digital Bros - and since then the publisher has worked on some fantastic games across PC and console. Leading developers and big names have put their trust in 505 Games to publish their iconic and acclaimed titles - many of which are still big hits with gamers today.
To celebrate the publisher's 15th anniversary this year, here's our top pick of 505 Games that PC gamers need to check out!

As the most advanced blade fighter ever created, you're always outnumbered but never outclassed. Slice through enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to prevail.
One-hit, one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a never-ending dance with death fearlessly.

The open-world sci-fi adventure features an invisible but extremely dangerous foe that lurks in the darkness, the Beached Things (BTs), which are surrounded by 'Timefall' - a dense rain that deteriorates Sam's cargo suit. Only your trusty Chiral sensor can scan and locate BTs within close proximity, giving you the chance to run away.
You'll enjoy an all-star cast including Starring Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead), Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale, Hannibal), Léa Seydoux (Spectre), and Lindsay Wagner (Grey's Anatomy), as well as popular video game voice actor Troy Baker (Batman: Arkham Origins, Unchartered, BioShock Infinite).
