We put a man on the moon fifty years ago, so surely our best and brightest minds can come together to solve humanity’s greatest problem next to the impending hellstorm the planet is about to become in a few years: Playing video games without needing to drop all the dimes on fancy console or PC hardware. Google reckons that they’ve got the problem licked.
Every now and then, there’s a little coded language that pops up in The Division 2, a barrier to play that must mean something. Something to do with trotting foxes and Zulu time, I’m certain. Many agents died to uncover the origins of these error codes, partly because I’m a terrible logistics support person who kept sending IT soldiers into dens of action that they were woefully unprepared for.
If you missed out on this PC release, feel like a nostalgic romp in a hand-drawn and authentically obscure adventure game, or kinda want to know what it feels like to be a chauvinistic ass-hat who treats women like objects and points, looks like Leisure Suit Larry has you covered on more than one platform this time!
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was released back in 2012, and it’s still a damn good game. This year sees a newer version of Sonic hit the tracks, in the form of Team Sonic Racing. SEGA had plenty to show off at SXSW, which may just be one of the weirdest venues ever for video game news…or the cleverest. Well played SEGA, well played.
It’s 2019, load shedding is once again a problem and too many terrible people are doing equally terrible things. I ain’t worried though, because at least I can sit back and bask in the glory that is another FromSoftware game, which happens to be out rather soon. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice looks like a blast and then some, taking FromSoftware’s trademark style of risk over reward and adding a few interesting wrinkles to the formula.
The second episode in DontNod’s teen adventure, sees some decent plot developments but very little in the way of engaging game experience.
Danish developer Die Gute Fabrik is most well-known for Sportfriends; a collection of sports-based games that included jousting your friends with your PS Move controller. Now they're back with their new project: Mutant soap opera, in the form of a new game for the PS4 called Mutazione.
My favourite part of The Division 2 so far? Washington DC. Sandbox games aren’t going anywhere for the foreseeable future, but there’s something special about a game that absolutely nails its environment. Having a metropolis filled with character, beauty and a sense of isolation that highlights its design is something special, an idea which The Division 2 simply excels at.
The Division 2 is aiming to be the perfect sequel: Bigger, better and bolder. It’s as pretty as can be, its unique blend of cover-based RPG shooting has been polished to a mirror shine and Ubisoft has some big plans for life after launch with a comprehensive series of endgame activities. Want in on this but lack the funds to join the fight to take back America? Thanks to Megarom Interactive, we’ve got you covered fam.
