Halloween is officially over — now all the ghosts and monsters are preparing for the winter season. Before we start this year's hibernation, let's look back at great games we witnessed in October. We had a surreal adventure of the world's biggest Hooters fan, a weird job sim with dark humor, a world-discovering turn-based RPG platformer and a scrolling driving game on the back of a snake.

Have a look through our entire selection below. And if you want to find more convenient collections of games such as this, check out our round-up tag!
