CB2077 — **Cyberpunk 2077** | CD Projekt Red | Yeah, Cyberpunk 2077 is a mess on PS4 and Xbox Series X, but on Stadia? Smooth as eggs. **No crashes, very few bugs and 4K with 60 fps, as long as your internet speed is 40mb per second**. No need for an expensive gaming rig to enjoy this game in all its glory. | Image Credit: CD Projekt Red

RDR2 — **Red Dead Redemption 2** | Rockstar | Red Dead Redemption is this writer’s favorite game and plays perfectly on Google Stadia. **Being able to pick up RDR 2 on any device and explore the lands is something else**. Side-questing has never felt better and if you’re not playing RDR 2, then what are you even doing? | Image Credit: Rockstar

Borderlands3 — **Borderlands 3** | Gearbox | Another game that feels right at home on Stadia. The looter shooter is a game you wanna get lost in. A game you’re supposed to put hours into. **Grinding is everything here and this was makes the portability of Stadia so perfect for this game. Commutin’ just feels better when you’re lootin’.** | Image Credit: Gearbox

**Darksiders Genesis** | Airship Syndicate | Genesis took the Darksiders franchise in a different direction: **From God of War x Zelda to a Diablo-like dual-stick ARPG – AND WE LOVE IT!** Did we mention the beauty of Stadia’s portability yet? We probably did… Well, this is another game that makes perfect use of everything Stadia is about. | Image Credit: Airship Syndicate.

Outcaster02 — **Outcasters** | Splash Damage | A Stadia exclusive and a great one at that: **A top down-arena shooter with vinyl toys competing in PVP action**. In this shooter you can control the trajectory of your bullets, so winning is all about reflexes and being able to predict movement. **Easy to pick up, hard to master and always fun.** | Image Credit: Splash Damage

OMD3 — **Orcs Must Die! 3** | Robot Entertainment | **There’s not many exclusives on Stadia, but this is another one and another must play. The premise is simple: Tower Defense**. You either love it or hate it, and, if you love it, this is a must play. Co-op action included, Orcs Must Die! 3 brings large scale battles to the genre and, simply put: It’s a blast. | Image Credit: Robot Entertainment.

Risk Of Rain — **Risk of Rain 2** | Hopoo Games | **Roguelite meets 3D meets exploration meets Destiny but better meets multiplayer meets… every genre out there**. This 3rd person power-fantasy has to be experienced. You start off as a nobody, but get stronger and stronger throughout as you venture through the addictive game. Also: **There’s multiplayer**. Do not pass this up. Seriously. | Image Credit: Hopoo Games.

**Celeste** | Matt Makes Games | The indie sensation is as much of a must-play on Stadia, as it is on every other platformer. Celeste is tough as sh** and definitely not suited for people with little patience, but… the game is a masterpiece. **Consider this: It’s an indie platformer developed by two people that was nominated for Game of the Year**. Nuff Said. Play it. | Image Credit: Matt Makes Games

ACV — **Assassin’s Creed** | Ubisoft | All the modern Assassin’s Creed games made it to steam and are as good as ever. Whether you like Vikings, Ancient Egypt or Ancient Greece… you can have your pick. **Exploring, RPG elements, good combat, 30+ hours of gameplay and a good story – it’s all here.** | Image Credit: Ubisoft

Mk11 — **Mortal Kombat XI |** NetheRealm Studios | Mortal Kombat 11 is arguably the greatest entry in the series and built up a legit competitive scene in the FGC. **The great thing about MKXI is that it is super accessible: You don’t have to learn complex combos**, but instead can focus on outplaying and out-smarting your opponent from the start. **MKXI is a great fighting that is even worth it for its meaty single player content**. Careful though: To compete at high levels, a wired connection is a must. | Image Credit: NetherRealm Studios
