Even though the game wasn't as well received as the previous two, it is still an amazing game well worth your time. Many owners of a PS3 bought the console to play the Uncharted games. Of the original trilogy, Uncharted 2 is widely accepted as the best of the three. Many consider it better than the PS4 installment. The graphics, set-pieces, story, and voice-acting are all superb. The sense of adventure and visual awe that the Uncharted games impart to the player have made them modern classics. Today, Epic Games is associated with only one game: Fortnite.
The Gears of War games are cover-based, third-person shooters that put the player in control of a soldier fighting an insect-like alien invasion the Locust Horde on the planet Sera. The squad-based action in the Gears of War games is non-stop and chaotic. This game really stands out among other multiplayer games too, due to being set up as a squad-based shooter.
The latest release, Halo 5: Guardians , has maintained that tradition. There are numerous modes of multiplayer matches and co-op play to try out with your friends.
Halo 5 runs at a steady 60 frames per second, no matter how much is happening on-screen. This is a welcome feature, as nothing breaks the flow of a game like frame-skipping. The single-player campaign has been criticized by Halo purists for changing too much of the accepted story-line, but the levels are full of hidden areas and secrets that really increase Halo 5's replay value.
With the funds you earn, you can buy improvements to your farm, furniture for your house, and gifts for your neighbors--the latter of which improves your overall relationship with them.
Ooblets is available for Xbox One and PC. See our Ooblets Early Access review. Phantasy Star Online 2: New Genesis is an updated and separate "shared universe" version of the original Phantasy Star Online you can use the same character across both games but you'll have to level them separately across the two. New Genesis is a more streamlined PSO2. It features a new story that gets you into the action more quickly, a faster and more intuitive combat system, and new exploration mechanics--Photon Dash and Photon Glide--that help you get around the world.
Rare Replay is one of the rare heh games to truly be an Xbox exclusive. You can buy these games individually for other platforms but Rare Replay is an Xbox exclusive--there's no PC version and no plans to ever make one. Developer Rare's collection includes 30 games from the studio's history, from the era of the ZX Spectrum to the Xbox So even if you're not a fan of every type of game, there's likely at least one title included in Rare Replay that will tickle your fancy.
Rare Replay is available for Xbox One. See our Rare Replay review. Developer Rare's Sea of Thieves is an action-adventure game in which you can live out your fantasies of being a pirate. The game takes place in a shared world, allowing you to both set sail with your friends and encounter other players--it's your choice as to whether you want to help them, ignore them, steal from them, or just outright kill them.
Sea of Thieves' ship combat is a great time with friends, and its vast open world is quite the sight to behold. One of the game's biggest criticisms at launch--its lack of content--has been addressed with several substantial updates and expansions. Most notably, Sea of Thieves has a major Pirates of the Caribbean crossover expansion that adds hours of fun story-driven content to the game.
See our Sea of Thieves review. If you're tired of playing Left 4 Dead style games where you're going up against zombies, may we direct your attention to developer Systemic Reaction's Second Extinction, a cooperative first-person shooter where you and your squad go up against dinosaurs?
In Second Extinction, humanity has retreated to space stations when mutated dinosaurs take over the Earth. Your squad's job is to orbital drop onto the planet in a series of missions to find a way to fight back and ultimately deal with the dino threat.
The game utilizes a threat level system so engaging in missions in the same parts of the world will lower the threat level and make subsequent drops in those areas easier, but ignoring other areas will allow the dinosaur presence to spike out of control there and make future missions in those areas more difficult.
Developer Undead Labs' State of Decay 2 has come a long way since its launch, expanding on its zombie survival open world formula with graphical overhauls, new maps and modes, and more story missions.
It's now a solid game for those looking for that Walking Dead experience, where you're building bases, recruiting allies, managing resources, maintaining relationships, scavenging for resources, and creatively fighting hordes of the undead. There's a cooperative element to the game as well, so you can tackle State of Decay 2's challenge with friends if you want. See our State of Decay 2 review.
An open-world action-adventure game, Sunset Overdrive makes you the superhero-like guardian of Sunset City, which is in the midst of a quarantine following an energy drink turning most humans into mutant monsters. Like Marvel's Spider-Man, Sunset Overdrive mixes combat and movement--you're rewarded with incredible bonuses for shooting your arsenal of guns while wallrunning, grinding across phone lines, or bouncing on top of cars. Your character also brings plenty of hilarious wisecracks to every fight, and the game's continued references to other games and movies is pretty funny.
See our Sunset Overdrive review. Since you can't see anything, you have to do all the stuff traditionally associated with RPGs--fighting enemies, stealthily sneaking past guards, firing a bow, and walking through markets--all via sound. You have to listen to enemies shuffling around you and exhaling as they swing a sword to know where and when to parry and attack, or pick out the clanging of a blacksmith's hammer amidst a busy market to figure out where to go to shop for new armor.
The latest release, Halo 5: Guardians , has maintained that tradition. There are numerous modes of multiplayer matches and co-op play to try out with your friends. Halo 5 runs at a steady 60 frames per second, no matter how much is happening on-screen. This is a welcome feature, as nothing breaks the flow of a game like frame-skipping.
The single-player campaign has been criticized by Halo purists for changing too much of the accepted story-line, but the levels are full of hidden areas and secrets that really increase Halo 5's replay value. Quantum Break was released in by Microsoft Studios, and at the time no one seemed to notice. It has since become one of the best-selling titles for the Xbox One. In Quantum Break the player controls the time-manipulating protagonist Jack Joyce.
Jack's powers stem from an accident involving a time machine, and now he must use these powers to prevent the end of time. Time manipulation is not new to video games, but Quantum Break handles the concept very well. The battle system is well designed, making the battles a blast to play through. The only real complaint about this game was the live-action television shows that would occasionally play. The God of War series began on the PlayStation 2 in , and has consistently gotten better with every new release.
The original God of War boasted fluid gameplay and impressive graphics. The battles in the early God of War games were criticized by some for being too repetitive. Kratos, despite being the focus of more than 4 games, was never someone people developed a profound connection to. That all changed with the spiritual reboot of the series that turned the action game into a deep narrative role-playing experience.
God of War made Kratos a deep and layered character. A score of 94 is what Sony Santa Monica was rewarded with on Metacritic for their efforts in rebooting a popular franchise. Persona 5 is a Japanese role-playing game that launched in and was praised for its commitment to the franchise's formula and dedication to delivering what many consider to be one of the greatest role-playing games of all-time.
A newer version titled Persona 5: Royal launched in and featured the addition of a new Phantom Thief member, new music, and a new Palace, among other things. The original release has a score of 93 on Metacritic, but its version exceeded that and the new content resulted in an improved score of For years fans asked Nintendo to make a true spiritual successor to Super Mario Though Super Mario Sunshine and both Super Mario Galaxy titles were well-received, they weren't exactly what every fan wanted.
In , Nintendo finally delivered with a true spiritual successor by way of Super Mario Odyssey. The game's level design and structure were reminiscent of the Nintendo 64 classic but added modern sensibilities. It received a Metacritic score of 97 as Nintendo nailed the 3D Mario formula.
