Some titles that just barely missed our top 10 include Destiny 2: Forsaken for its extremely addictive Gambit mode , Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and its staggering roster, Hitman 2 is just as creative as ever, and We Happy Few , which has been almost completely retooled for the bet
Finally, we got exactly one minute of Ghost of Tsushima footage with a teaser for more at The Game Awards. It still looks breathtaking, but it’s not exactly enlightening news. We’ll just have to be patient until Thursday when we’ll see more -and hopefully get a release da
It’s hard to talk too much about why we love The Messenger without spoiling anything. After initially seeing the indie darling at PAX East 2018 earlier this year, the E3 build of the game dropped us later into the story with a slew of new items and challenges at our disposal. Every time we see The Messenger , we still find some way to be baffled by what Sabotage Studio has created. This is one that’s going to surprise you in more ways than one when it releases later this y
Square Enix and Platinum Games are teaming up again for another action title. Called Babylon’s Fall , we were given a very Nier -esque trailer that didn’t reveal much about plot details. It does look exciting, though. You can check out our full coverage he
As another point to all of this, there will, presumably, be no waypoints to follow. This means you may run into areas you’re not ready for but the game lets you go at your own pace. This is all to help the player live out their Samurai fantasy dream. Ultimately the game lets you go wherever you w
Coming off the success and reinvention of the franchise that was Assassin’s Creed Origins , it’s easy to see the potential in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey . Set in ancient Greece, Odyssey has the same DNA as Origins but mixes in a more focused RPG system, new twists to combat, and more for players to do moment-to-moment. Much like the transition from AC 1 to AC 2 , Odyssey feels like a refinement of the strong platform of Origins , with some added variety to boot. Massive battles and ship conflicts are just the tip of the iceb
Speaking of which, it’s pretty clear right from the time the first trailer was revealed just how important authenticity is to Ghost of Tsushima . It’s not just the visuals and audio, as striking as they are, but in the care that has been taken to get them right. All the plants, people and just general environmental things have been crafted to ensure they would be right at home in real life Japan. Some of the audio was apparently recorded right in Japan its
As seen from the gameplay trailer, there will be numerous ways to approach combat . Sometimes you’ll encounter enemies that will face you in single combat or come at you one by one. Other times the game will suggest stealth or perhaps show off different ways to approach an encounter. If you choose the less stealthy way, you’ll be treated to a form of combat that’s reminiscent of some Japanese f
We are fairly far removed from 2016 and 2017 — the years that every single game on the market had virtual reality baked in to a degree. Now, approaching a strong second-wave of VR titles, Creed: Rise to Glory by developer Survios leads the pack in what it brings to the table. Demoed on the PS VR headset, Creed goes well outside the realm of other motion-based boxing games you may have played before. Implementing phantom exhaustion, interesting mechanics, and the latest in gaming VR technology, I was panting and sweating from one prize-fighter ro
According to new information, Sucker Punch Productions’ Ghost Of Tsushima Story Guide|Https://Tsushimalegend.Com/ of Tsushima could release as late as the second half of 2020, apparently in part due to the fact that The Last of Us 2 is getting delayed until spring of that year. Ghost of Tsushima is the one Sony PlayStation exclusive due out over the next year that fans don’t know much about after much of the spotlight has been taken by The Last of Us 2 and Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rema
The Elder Scrolls: Blades wasn’t all that surprising of an announcement at E3 following Bethesda’s success with Fallout Shelter but what was surprising was just how great the game played once we tried it for ourselves. Between fluid combat and gorgeous visuals, Blades did more than enough to take home our award for best handheld game at the s
Media Molecule’s Dreams has been confirmed for release on February 14, 2020. The make it yourself game engine, the trailer shown during “State of Play” took a look at how basically anything can be crafted with the tools availa
This year may have had very few surprises thanks to a ton of leaks, but even then many of those games still impressed. E3 2018 was a solid year all around and it offered a lot of reasons to be excited for the coming year or
It may not have had the clout of a Halo or Gears but Ori and the Blind Forest still stands as one of the best Microsoft exclusives of this generation. And its follow-up, Ori and the Will of the Wisps , looks to take things to the next level with refined platforming, better combat, and (if that’s even possible) even better-looking visuals. Although the devs at Moon Studios could have easily copied and pasted the formula from Ori 1 onto Ori 2 and called it a day, they are looking to make Will of the Wisps one of the best platformers ever made. Based on what we played, Ori and the Will of the Wisps plays and looks better than its predecessor and it still has a lot of that same ma
