My money is on Fe this year, because I won’t stop making Fe-bruary jokes until I’m convinced to do otherwise with the most violent methods available to Geoff and a steel pipe. But super, honest bee-tee-dubs legit honesty here? Age of Empires: Definitive Edition. I’ve got a love for the classics, especially those of the real-time strategy variety.
Factor in some of the finest action games ever made when Bayonetta lands a one-two combo on the Switch, Battalion 1944 positioning itself as the new PUBG and some absurd action in SEGA’s Fist of the North Star game and that’s my month sorted. Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru. What are you looking forward to playing this month? Sound off below in the comments.
