Magicka

If you ever google "the most unique games on pc", you'll most likely stumble across Magicka at some point. Magicka is a multiplayer game (single player too, but everyone knows a coop game is better with other people) where you need to create spells using different elements, basically creating a combo system with your keyboard. The spells vary from a simple laser to an absolutely enormous blast of ice to a fire wall to a water jet. The possibilities aren't endless, but considering you have eight different elements, this quickly becomes one of those "easy to learn, hard to master" type of games. Magicka is a blast with friends, not so much alone. When playing coop (up to 4 people), you can combine your spells, creating even more diversity. The game is also full of humor, and you'll certainly have some laughs with it. Recommended to play with at least one more friend.

Magicka is an RPG with unique game mechanics and unlike other RPG's magicka got its own way of play so that you wont have to gain exp to level up or collect items that only boost your stats, The items you collect change many things from attack animations to abilities to certain ability powers, Combine spells to create unique powers that blast enemies or even heal you, Collect magicka to unleash devastating spells that can even revive you and your team mates, The world of magcika is full of secrets be sure to keep your mind open while playing, Magicka is best played with a friend so grab someone to play with in order to enjoy it to the fullest.

I really liked the constant references to other games, movies, books, intellectual properties, etc. This game lets you create almost any kind of spell. There are many different effects you can get from your spell. The tricky part was memorizing them and typing them out in the middle of a engagement. Once I found a powerful spell like the thunderbolt, I used it against most enemies. However, that same spell would not work indoors, forcing me to think creatively. The environment plays a big part in your spells, as to increasing its power or turning it back on you. There are lots of secrets to find and achievements to earn. A very good game that doesn't feel like a waste of time.

A fun game to play by yourself, owing to its magic system and humorous setting, and an even better game to play with your friends. In this magic based game you combine raw components to create, without any restriction of mana or similar. It presents the best experience of being a wizard, taming the raw forces of nature, instead of just using preselected skills. The game does offer some special spells, which might require finding a spell book first to learn the correct combination of elements and are activated by a different key, but it really shines in its creation of spells at will. See that goblin with the bombs? Why not hit it with fire? Oh, it's too far away for a fire spray. Add arcana and now you have a fire ray! Fun assured! (Incorrect use of fire ray might cause accidents. Do not use on bombs inside their radius of explosion.) Spells can be launched directly to the target, in the general area around the wizard, or charged into the weapon. And it's always fun to hit your friends "accidentally". "Wow! Did you see my fireball? I got all of them" "Yes, I was there too" "Oh, sorry (I'm not), I didn't see you (I did). I'll cast ressuction ASAP." The game does have some bugs and might be too punishing sometimes, but is a whole load of fun.

Combine elements of your choice to form spells. The great thing about this game is that not only is there a huge variety; there are barely any "useless abilities" that you will never use. All spells have a place, and they aren't only used for one specific puzzle like in some games... but that doesn't mean you can use them interchangeably, because you will not succeed in this game. The graphics style is alright, but I love the characters you play as - fully robed faceless wizards with comical and lovable animations.
