Why should you play it? Astonishing doesn’t begin to cover how it feels to experience Horizon: Zero Dawn.
It’s a post-post apocalyptic world filled with robots, ruins, and stunning beauty - all from the people behind the gritty, grey Killzone. What is it? Perhaps the most innovative original game to exist since BioShock. Whether that means stacking up quests, or just hunting down as many hippos and lions before they can do the same to you, the choice is yours. A full RPG this time around, Ubi hands you the golden ticket to do whatever you want. Add in an armoury of weapons, new combat, a skill tree that actually matters, and an entire country so vibrant and beautiful that you’ll start apologising for all the screens on Twitter, and Assassin’s Creed Origins is the culmination of a decade of stealth excellence. Ancient Egypt is a true (and often literal) sandbox, full of seemingly endless potential and Bayek, our latest hooded hero, shines as an Assassin with genuine heart. Why should you play it? Not only the best open world adventure in the series so far - seriously good going, given that we’ve been free running through history for ten years now - Origins delivers a truly fresh experience, unshackled from the tired tropes of previous Creeds. What is it? A radical redesign of the history-hopping franchise that delivers a tantalising, Ancient Egyptian playground and a heartfelt origins story that truly matters. Because trust me - once you’ve played What Remains of Edith Finch, you won’t be able to shut up about it. Be prepared to discuss your favourites with friends. Narrated entirely by Edith Finch herself, its stories will stay with you for a long time. They’re not schmaltzy either, and have all the poignancy you’d expect from a game that clearly understands grief better than you’d think. Each one matches their family member perfectly. You’ll dive through their last moments in exquisite mini-games… although describing them as ‘games’ doesn’t do them justice. Breaking open bedroom doors that have been sealed for decades, each one you enter is filled with the memory of its owner.
Yet the tales that lie waiting in the Finch house are worth it all. Why should you play it? Yes, What Remains of Edith Finch is heart-breaking. What is it? The walking simulator about a daughter returning to her eccentric family home, driven by a need to investigate the secrets her mother - and the house - kept from her.
