I’ve had my roommates start files of their own far sooner than intended because they watched me play for a bit and couldn’t resist. There are some growing pains, but the core product is such fun.
HeartGold & SoulSilver remain in the upper echelon of many fans’ rankings for good reason, and even Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire feel more inspired.īut Legends, man, I hope this isn’t a total one-off. I still like Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, but I feel like they’re fairly underwhelming relative to generational remakes Game Freak has brought to market in the past. A shinier, more brilliant endeavor than those take-it-or-leave-it remakes we received just two short months ago. I am of the mind that Pok émon Legends: Arceus is just about everything I wanted it to be. Another click-and-pointer, but they’re always a welcome find. Enjoy the (frankly disturbing) pixels-blended-with-real-photography art style that probably has a real name. The title of this game makes me think of something that happens in Final Fantasy XIV, which, if nothing else, is a decent way to get my attention. You plan your combat moves four at a time, and everyone’s plans go off simultaneously, so that’s probably terrifying? The Song Out of Space – February 4th (PS4, Switch, XB1, Windows) Strange and scary monsters do their best to fell the titular King of Heroes, or the guy who would one day be the King of Heroes, or maybe just some unaffiliated guy it’s not very clear.
I bet this game is going to be really fun if you’re sipping rum from a bottle and clicking all over the place. Have you ever wanted to traipse through a dangerous forest, encountering magical creatures and slowly but surely moving toward one of several potential endings? One of the skeleton things in this game asks what you’re willing to do for salvation, so I don’t know. Bylitsa: Vasna (Early Access) – February 3rd (Windows) And if you’re jamming ahead with your Stadia, this is your monthly wellness check-in. Life is Strange Remastered Collection – February 1st (PS4, PS5, XB1, XSX, Windows, Stadia)īasically, if you want to own these games and you haven’t already gone and done so, this is how you amend that. If that’s the whole point, then I’m here for it. Bad Faith – January 31st (Windows)īad Faith is a visual novel with strong horror vibes and cartoonish character art that, I think, will make it seriously strange if and when these people start dropping to mysterious curses or whatever. My favorite thing about having an “Also Coming This Week” section is that it’s like you’ve forgotten your family still does stocking stuffers after you’ve opened all your presents, and your family are like “but there’s still a gift card in this abstract interpretation of a sock.” None of this has ever happened to me, but still. Expect some hack-and-slash fights, a veritable wealth of crafting systems ranging from purely decorative to pretty dang powerful, and just enough dating sim elements for someone out there to claim it ripped off Persona 4. I’ve had my eye on Maglam Lord chiefly because its key developers all had a hand in the excellent Summon Night series. Now, I find myself wondering why they didn’t just come right out and call it a “magic sword creation action ridiculous comedy RPG.” From what I’ve seen of the imported version, this game takes itself about as seriously as Fei Fong Wong considers any and all of Citan Uzuki’s suggestions to chill the hell out for five minutes in Xenogears (which is a valid thing to type if you’ve read this week’s intro), good job, I love you. At the time, I remember thinking that D3 Publisher could have cut that down a bit. Maglam Lordwas pitched as a “magic sword creation action RPG” back when it was announced in September 2020.
Land of Screens – February 4th (Switch, Windows, Mac) And there are several factions whose respective fates can vary per your decisions throughout the campaign. There’s a massive open world, and there’s a lot of parkour involved. If you need a pitch for Dying Light 2 Stay Human that doesn’t involve my own rambling, here’s the deal: zombies are slow by day, swift by night. But a stronger cast and story that can marry that aforementioned nuance, that sounds like it’d get its hooks in me better than any zombie horde. Don’t get me wrong, gameplay is the core of any video game. I’m hoping we find with the new one that all this unexpected time in the oven since the 2015 original pays off in more ways than just the gameplay. In a cynical sense, it’s all a setup to let players hit and shoot zombies all over again, but there’s some real nuance to Dying Light that’s worth checking out. A virus has wrought havoc upon the world - not that we know what that’s like these days. Dying Light 2 Stay Human (which completely eschews any perceived need for a colon in its title for reasons I can only assume are early-game story spoilers) is a sequel to a rather bleak game.
