The COVID-19 pandemic may have delayed the release of many titles, but many developers and studios have pushed through to release promised games this year. In this Tech Times article, we rundown the best video games of 2021.

Best Video Games of 2021: 'Deathloop'

The game is pretty much a murder puzzle game that follows the story of an assassin named Colt. Colt finds himself stuck in a time loop with a mission to take out eight targets before midnight strikes.

Best Video Games of 2021: 'Hitman 3'

"You might think 'Hitman 3' is a stealth game, or an action game, or a third-person shooter with delightfully wacky weaponry," Kotaku says of this January 2021 release.

"You'd be wrong," the article adds. Instead, Kotaku describes "Hitman 3" as a brilliant puzzle game. It continues the story of Agent 47 as he and his allies hunt down the leaders of a secret organization called Providence.
