![]() Instead of a steam ship, you pilot a space locomotive. The sequel to the popular indie hit Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies abandons the oceans and heads for the stars. It certainly looks like nothing else coming out this year. It looks a bit like A Clockwork Orange meets Brazil and while its Early Access reviews are mixed on Steam, I'm hoping the final release will be fantastic. One of the more intriguing, zany looking games of 2018, We Happy Few is a survival-based game set in a dystopian fictional 1960s English town called Wellington Wells where everybody is constantly high on a hallucinogenic drug called Joy. Sounds interesting and looks freaky.Īgony looks hellish. You start out in Hell and can possess other people and later lesser and greater demons. The entire game is built around an interesting possession mechanic. From what little I've seen of it, this is not going to be a horror game for the meek or faint of heart. And I'm excited to read all the silly hot takes on why the game is Īgony looks terrifying. Still, I'm excited to shoot psycho cultists in the land of my birth, Montana. It would be neat to see the series take a bigger turn, much as did between 1 and 2 and between 2 and 3. On the other hand, maybe this formula has grown a bit stale. It's a good thing because those games have a winning formula that's a ton of fun to play: Crazy villain, big open world, lots of enemy bases to take down, and so forth. More than likely, from all we've seen so far, Far Cry 5 is going to be a lot like 3 and 4. My hope with the sequel is that they've fixed the combat issues and put together another game as charming as the first without all the tedium. But the story, the characters, the animation, the fact that you're basically playing a Studio Ghibli movie as a game-all of that was wonderful. Combat, in particular, was a far too frequent chore. I loved everything about the first Ni No Kuni except for how tedious it became after a while. The biggest reason to be excited about this one is the studio's first game, Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons, which remains one of the most emotionally poignant, mechanically fascinating indie adventure games I've played. Heavily choice based, it's the story of two convicts who escape prison and go out on the road for a big adventure. The twist is that one side of the screen can be playing a cut-scene while the other side can still be playing, meaning both characters' stories play out at the same time even as one character enters a rendered moment. It's a two-player couch co-op game that takes place in split-screen. I'm not sure if A Way Out is going to be good or not, but it's certainly an interesting concept. The game picks up where the last one left off, as the Second Europan War is still being waged, but with new characters, better graphics and so forth. It's part JRPG, part turn-based tactical third-person shooter, all set in a WWII-esque fictional conflict with tanks and rifles and engaging characters. I loved the last Valkyria Chronicles game. Platforms: PS4 (later on Switch/Xbox One) Certainly this game has received rave reviews in Japan where it released in 2016, earning a 39/40 from Famitsu. Sounds like Yakuza would be a good fit, though I'm not really sure where to start. I've never really gotten into the Yakuza series but that's something I aim to change in 2018. I think they can-theoretically-I'm just not sure this is that game. ![]() It's no secret that Konami and Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima parted ways after Metal Gear Solid V. The question is whether Konami can make a good Metal Gear game without him. I'm not sure if I'm excited for Metal Gear: Survive or if what I'm feeling is morbid curiosity. I may have to play the original version on my SNES Classic Edition first, however. Still one of the best JRPGs of all time (with a lovely score) I am beyond hyped to return to the game. Don't be surprised if it's delayed.Īnother remake (not remaster) of yet another classic, though Secret of Mana is a game that dates back to the SNES era. I love the idea of an expansive Medieval RPG but recent footage of wooden dialogue and less-than-stellar facial animations has me concerned that this is releasing too soon. It's like Skyrim or The Witcher 3 but set in a realistic Medieval open-world. I have some serious concerns about this game, but I do love the concept.
