There’s a chance, too, that his name will encourage plenty of non-gamers to jump into Elden Ring. After looking at his world-building prowess in A Song of Ice and Fire, we know we’re in safe hands. Martin, the modern-day bard himself, has co-written the story.
If that sounded like dull and standard fantasy fare, fear not. Set in the fantasy realm of the Lands Between, players will hack, slash, dodge, and perfectly time their way through the realm with the hopes of becoming the Elden Lord.
#BEST NEW GAMES 2016 KIDS SERIES#
Releasing on: PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox Oneĭeveloper FromSoftware appears to be continuing its run of notoriously difficult action RPGs – or Souls-likes, as ubiquitous as the term is now – with Elden Ring. We can’t wait to explore depths in Horizon Forbidden West and unlock secrets with the fiery Aloy, in what looks to be one of the games of the year.
Horizon Forbidden West looks to build on the formula of its predecessor, while adding new machines to take down (including giant robot snakes), gorgeous new environments, and new characters to encounter (hopefully most of those are friendly). In Horizon Forbidden West, we take control of Aloy once again – this time, exploring a post-apocalyptic western United States. The first game was one of the highlights of the PS4, boasting a luscious world where the future and the past collide in a spectacularly unique way, and introducing a protagonist (aka Aloy) that we hope sticks around for decades to come. “There’s no depth I won’t explore, no secret I won’t unlock,” says Aloy, in the breath-taking announcement trailer for the sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn. Either way, Pokémon Legends: Arceus is one of the best Switch games available and well worth checking out if you're a Pokémon fan. For some, this new direction will be most welcome, but others may find it a bit too much of a deviation from the Pokémon formula we've grown accustomed to. With no gym leaders or badges, Arceus' focus is primarily on catching Pokémon, rather than battling with them. While the likes of Sword and Shield (below) add new features that breathe some fresh air into the long-running series, Arceus goes even further: shaking up the game as we know it.Īcting as a prequel to the main series, Arceus takes players to a much older version of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl’s Sinnoh region (known here as the Hisui region), where Pokémon roam freely and you're charged with completing one of the region's first Pokédexes. Pokémon Legends: Arceus is unlike any Pokémon game you may have played before - in the best possible way. With a map four times as big as the first, littered with NPCs, side quests and challenges, Dying Light 2 perfect for those who love open-world survival horrors.
Dying Light 2 turns this up to 11, with a larger emphasis on stealth, parkour, and tweaked equipment to traverse the environment (like gliders, pulleys, and new swinging hooks). The original Dying Light took the parkour of Mirror’s Edge, blended it with a zombie shoot-‘em-up, and added a day-and-night variation system to boot. Dying Light 2 has a focus on choice and consequence, with your decisions affecting the environment around you - as well as the story itself. Aiden’s search leads him to The City (the last remaining human settlement), where it’s then up to the player whether our protagonist focuses on his own goal or decides to help remaining survivors by rebuilding the settlement. Set 20 years after the first game, Dying Light 2 sees you playing as Aiden Caldwell, an infected survivor, as he tries to unearth the secrets of his past and locate his sister amidst a ruthless, decaying world. It wouldn’t be a true year of gaming without at least one zombie-slayer, and the sequel to 2015’s Dying Light is our savior.
