What Days Gone does have going for it, are its Freakers. Disgusting remnants of humanity with a taste for flesh, Freakers are rabid dogs who need to be put down whenever they get a whiff of your scent. On their own, they're trouble. But in a group? They're a near-unstoppable homicidal herd.

A dark space western that deals with revenge, Destiny 2: Forsaken begins with a massive bang and ends with a devastating explosion right in the emotions as it establishes its narrative.

After fifteen years of the undead blight running rampant across the planet, humanity is finally showing signs of a return to the top of the food chain. Dying Light 2’s big question is focused on how the emergence of a new human nation can best suit you. What deals are you willing to make to survive another day? And are you prepared for the consequences?

When Sony showed Remedy’s new game at its bizarre conference, it immediately evoked memories of Quantum Break. Not only did it bear a striking visual resemblance to the Finnish developer’s previous Xbox exclusive. While I enjoyed quantum Break, more of the same isn’t what I wanted from Remedy. Thankfully, that's not what Control is.

At E3 2018, we got to see just how rich CD Projekt Red’s brave new world of Cyberpunk 2077 really is. Spoiler: It's very VERY rich in details, ideas and character.

E3 is also home to plenty of other companies who want to proudly show off their consumer goods. One of those companies? My Arcade, a producer of arcade cabinets with a twist: They’re adorably tiny six-inch replicas.

Agent 47 was a MacGuyver of murder whose trip around the world saw numerous dodgy individuals murdered in increasingly bizarre and creative ways. It’s that creativity which has been the foundation of the entire Hitman franchise, a fact that Hitman 2 wastes no time in reminding you of when you step back into the Italian loafers of 47 as he starts a new contract.

Activision and developer Treyarch are going all in on online services this year. If Call of Duty isn’t going to spend obscene amounts of cash on providing a narrative structure, then fans are well within their rights to expect a tighter and even more polished multiplayer offering.
