As the years have ticked by and technology has evolved, game developers have been able to construct increasingly intricate experiences, whether that’s a massive open world, a rich online multiplayer suite, or something else that just wouldn’t have been possible on the older generation of consoles.
Games can just do more stuff nowadays, hiding easter eggs galore in enormous environments that can take tens and tens of hours to fully explore. And when you combine this with emergence of social media and the increased desire to create plenty of “shareable” moments within games, the result is a lot of really nifty hidden secrets that will shock, surprise, or delight you when you uncover them.
Residing within the “shocking” category, one cool thing that a lot of games like to do is hide monsters and fantastical creatures within their worlds, even when said beasties might have nothing to do with the game’s story or overall tone.
Spotting a giant shark leaping from the ocean in the middle of an online lobby or having a spooky ghost pop-up in the middle of an innocuous cutscene is a thrill that only games can provide, and there are other games hiding similarly random encounters with creatures that you need to check out.
