The newest gaming place on this list is the exact opposite of the first two entries. It’s a very small outfit that has just six PS4’s in the entire café. However, they’re on this list for a very different reason. The space is designed like a gamer’s den and has minimal frills save for bean bags, consoles, and HD TVs, along with a café to recharge between sessions. If you’re a gamer who doesn’t fancy the cliched titles like Fifa 18, WWE or NBA 2k18 then you’ll enjoy GAMEtric as there’s plenty of games from other genres that are super popular too like Dragon Age Inquisitions and Last Of Us.
