Serial Cleaner
Lets face it, most games are about killing, whether that be your enemies inCall of Dutyor taking down a Pukei-Pukei inMonster Hunter World. Serial Cleaners is all about what comes after, who cleans up the mess? You play as Bob Learner, a murder cleaner for hire (think Breaking Bad’s Mike), who goes from murder scene to scene cleaning up the evidence. The unique 2D stealth game, set in the 1970’s takes you to different crime scenes while avoiding the donut-munching cops to clean and remove evidence left behind by your employers. The soundtrack and unusual visuals make the rather macabre task at hand a delight.Check out our full review here.
