He's supposed to act as a guide, but you'll struggle to take in what he's saying as you'll be busy fantasizing about strangling one of the most annoying game characters in history. Additionally, this is two-player only, so make sure you have someone to join in.
Buy it from: Steam , Origin. We've seen plenty of games fail to live up to their hype in the past, but here's the thing about Forza Horizon 5: it's worth every great review, piece of praise, and dollar spent. The ultimate compliment you could pay Playground Studios is that it made a driving game even people who don't like driving games adore. The most appealing element of Forza, in addition to the obscene number of cars, lush looks, and fun driving, is that there's just so much to do. It's not just traveling from A to B quicker than everyone else, but the map is filled with different activities, many of them player-made, with more being added all the time.
Improving on Forza Horizon 4 was never going to be an easy task, but this installment manages it, partly by moving the action from the UK to Mexico in what is the largest and most varied play area the series has ever seen, featuring active volcanoes, jungles, beaches, a city, and more.
The customization options for your cars are extensive, the graphics and building tools amazing. It's also one of those titles in which those who usually shun multiplayer elements will enjoy playing against or alongside others.
There is a 'just one more race' feeling to Forza Horizon 5 that rivals the 'just one more turn' compulsion found in games such as Civilization. You may sit down for an intended half an hour, but two days will pass in the blink of an eye, leaving you jobless and single.
This game can swallow your life. The only real fault you might pick from Forza 5 is that it's still the same game as its predecessors, albeit with a lot of extra content, but why change a winning formula?
This is the best Forza Horizon and one of the greatest driving games ever made. Psychonauts 2 has the rare video game quality of being both hilarious and fun to play. But while the level design, characters, and writing are spectacular, it's the story that will stay with you long after you're done; there's plenty of pathos sitting comfortably alongside the humor.
Don't worry if you never played the first Psychonauts, which came out 16 years ago, as the intro in this successor will fill you in -- a necessity, given that it links directly to that game. The diversity of the design and gameplay mechanics within the self-contained worlds, or minds, Raz visits will keep players engaged throughout, leaving you constantly curious to see what the dev team has thought up next.
Combat is satisfying, usually requiring a different ability to deal with each enemy type, and Psychonauts 2 is like digital crack for those who love games with lots of collectibles. In keeping with Origins and Odyssey, the Assassin's Creed games are now a lot closer to action-RPGs than their stealth-based originals.
Valhalla embraces its role-playing elements more than any other game in the series, which is no bad thing. If you have played a recent AC game, you will know the basic premise: a massive open world with a vast main questline alongside a ton of side missions and other activities. Some complain that the game is so enormous that it verges on bloated, but it's genuinely so fun to play that you won't care about its size when you're into hour and close to discovering Excalibur.
Something else that makes Valhalla's size less daunting is the missions' quality and the fact they're often hilarious. There's also the brilliance of some of the characters -- Ivar the boneless is very memorable -- the enormous skill tree, the excellent combat with its numerous skills and abilities, and the sheer beauty of the game.
And that's not even mentioning the extensive Viking lore you get to immerse yourself in as either a male or female Eivor. Even if you manage to do everything Valhalla has to offer, there are still extras such as river raids, in-game events, and new challenges. Yes, there are still high points to climb to reveal activities, and Ubisoft does love to ram its paid-for content down players' throats. But make no mistake, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is a brilliant, beautiful game that will steal weeks of your time and make you wish you were a Viking.
Let's be honest, after the disappointment that is Marvel's Avengers, few people expected Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy to be anything more than just "meh. MGotG is proof that among the many multiplayer-focused, games-as-a-service, and online-only titles available today, developers can still make great narrative-driven solo experiences.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy sees players take on the role of Peter Quill, though this Star-Lord bears a closer resemblance to his comic book counterpart than he does Chris Pratt. The game itself is about as linear as you'll find anywhere, but that doesn't matter when the quality of the 16 chapters is this high. While you don't control the rest of the Guardians directly, you can issue them orders in combat that are added to their standard AI attacks, a process that can get tricky during large-scale battles.
The entire team can be upgraded with new abilities, and Quill can buy extra upgrades such as improved health, adding another light RPG layer. Combat is one of the game's best elements, especially when you start unlocking new abilities. It includes the huddle, in which you must pick the correct dialog options for a burst of improved damage; few things are as satisfying as getting it right and hearing the opening bars of 'The Final Countdown' or another 80s classic as the team pounds the enemy.
The banter between team members is a highlight. It's often so funny, especially interactions with Drax, that you'll actively seek out conversations. The soundtrack is brilliant, and fans of both the comics and films will likely love all the references. It's also very pretty. Emotional, nostalgic, and enormous fun, Guardians is one of this year's biggest surprises. It could have been better were it not for the bugs and technical issues, but at least those can be patched.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has ruled the competitive FPS scene for the better part of a decade, but Riot's foray into the genre has the potential to dethrone the king, especially with over 14 million players logging in monthly. Riot has plenty of experience in the world of competitive multiplayer games thanks to the everlasting behemoth that is League of Legends , and it brings that free-to-play, team-based action to a new perspective.
In addition to the main influence of CS:GO , it blends Overwatch's colorful aesthetics and cast of characters agents divided into four roles, each with their own signature abilities, ultimates and backstories. There's also a ping system similar to Apex Legends, meaning you don't have to use a headset or type if you don't want to.
Valorant is 5v5 games across 25 rounds, with the attackers trying to plant a bomb spike and the defenders trying to defuse it. You'll also find that unlike similar games, not all character abilities are on infinite cooldown timers; two of these have to be bought in each round and have a limited number of uses. There's also ultimates that can take multiple rounds to recharge using kills, deaths, or spike actions.
As with all competitive games, other players can be the worst part of Valorant, and unlocking everything is grindy if you're not willing to spend some money. Once it sinks its addictive teeth into you, there's no letting go. Free from: TechSpot Downloads. While many people still play Resident Evil Village because of the internet's brief obsession with 9-foot 6-inch fantasy woman Lady Dimitrescu, there's a lot more on offer here than an ample chest on a massive vampire.
