Games released on March 31

Three games that still hold up, from StarCraft in 1998 to Hyper Light Drifter in 2016

  1. StarCraft 1998

    Turned 28 this year

    Terran, Zerg and Protoss fight over the Koprulu Sector in the 25th century, each race playing differently and none with an innate advantage. It is widely credited with raising the bar for real time strategy.

  2. Axiom Verge 2015

    Turned 11 this year PlayStation 4

    A scientist named Trace wakes on the alien world of Sudra and explores its machines with dozens of weapons and a beam that rewrites glitches in the scenery, in a 2015 side scroller.

  3. Hyper Light Drifter 2016

    Turned 10 this year

    The Drifter, sick with an illness the game never names, crosses a vast ruined world with a blade, a pistol and a dash, and with little or no text, the world itself tells the story.
