(gentle instrumental music) - [Falcon] 2024 has a ton of incredible new PC games to play. Hi folks, it's Falcon, and today on Gameranx, the
Top 50 New PC Games of 2024. Starting off with number 50, it's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl. Now this is the first person shooter, it brings in survival
horror, some RPG elements. If you're familiar with the original, you know exactly what it is, except this one builds on
what they did in the original, which had a little bit
more linear of a structure and gives us a big old open world. The Zone is a great place
to make an open world in. It's a radioactive wasteland teeming with anomalies and mutants. Obviously the graphics
are significantly better than S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 1. The original came out in 2007. And S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is coming September 5th, and I couldn't be more excited to play it. And number 49 is Metal Gear
Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake that tells us it's
going to be incredibly faithful, and even uses the original voice cast and recordings from the original game, which I think is the
exact right way to go. The performances in the
original are fantastic, why not have them? That's cool. It's also obviously a huge
update in terms of graphics, probably layouts, probably gameplay, but it's apparently a faithful retelling of the original game, and
I can't wait to play it. We don't have a release date,
but it is coming this year, I would imagine November, December, that seems like a busy
time of the year release if I've ever seen one. So stay tuned. And number 48, it's Prince
of Persia: The Lost Crown. Kind of crazy that
unlike its predecessors, the return to the beloved
franchise is more of a platformer and puzzler than most of these games have been for quite a while. In a lot of ways it feels
like a kind of follow up to the more original
Prince Persia type of game, except it brings in a lot
more Metroidvania type stuff, you have the non-linear
kind of 2D equivalent of open world exploration. It's got some pretty sweet movement. And it's got that kind
of parkour style movement with pretty acrobatic combat. I think it's a pretty darn fun game. It's already out, highly
recommend picking it up. And number 47 is Senua's
Saga: Hellblade II, the sequel to the critically
acclaimed original game. It's a dark fantasy action-adventure that follows up on everything we learned about Senua the Celtic
warrior in the first game. Basically it promises
to expand pretty largely on what we saw in the first game. Of course, it was very successful, it made the studio, which is very small, a ton of money. And if you remember, the first
game did a really good job of exploring themes of mental
illness, and resilience, and overcoming things despite big odds. It was a really good game. And it'll be exciting to play
Senua's Saga: Hellblade II when it comes out May 21st. At number 46, Dune: Awakening is gonna be an open world survival MMO. So you can kind of assume that you're gonna see
your resource management base building and a whole lot of dune. Obviously it takes place on
the harsh deserts of Arrakis. You got big old sand worms,
you got a ton of sand storms, rival factions vying for control
of that sweet, sweet spice, the stuff necessary to
travel at hyper speeds. There is not a release date
yet for Dune: Awakening, but it is said to be coming out in 2024. So developments here will
be very interesting to see. And number 45 is Crimson Desert, an open world action-adventure
game blending elements of medieval history and fantasy, set on the continent of Pywel and focusing on the story
of somebody named Macduff, a mercenary leader,
attempting to reclaim his land and protect his people. It's basically in some
ways a bit of a follow up to Black Desert Online. However, it's a single
player focused experience with an emphasis on storytelling
and character development, that's obviously a big difference
from Black Desert Online. But it was originally developed
as a follow-up directly to Black Desert Online. It does look like there's gonna
be some pretty cool combat, both on foot and on mount, and a lot of different activities
from hunting to trading. We don't have a release date, but 2024 is allegedly when we'll see it. So we'll keep you in the loop. And number 44 is Elden
Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, the highly anticipated expansion of the critically acclaimed
and beloved Elden Ring, new chapter in the game sage, which is gonna take us all on a journey beyond the Lands Between. So we're gonna see a lot of new territory and obviously a lot of fresh lore. Elden Ring has an
intricate mythology to it, and obviously as an expansion
this will expand on that. But we also expect to
see new enemies, bosses, characters, stories,
all sorts of challenges. Elder Ring Shadow of the
Erdtree is landing on June 20th, so keep your eyes peeled. And number 43 is Hades II, the sequel to the critically acclaimed
rogue-like dungeon crawler. This game is going to be giving
us a bit of a fresh twist on the formula. This time around we are the immortal princess of the underworld, taking on our own journey. Totally different, new gods, new enemies, new environments. And as with the first, probably expanded to at least some extent, is the dynamic story elements. I'm excited. Obviously this game has
a really cool art style. Supergiant Games has never
led us astray in the past, so I'm excited. We don't have a release date, but it's coming this year. So, big hell yeah to Hades II. And number 42 is The First Descendant, a free to play third
person co-op action RPG, set in a fantasy world where you, as a descendant with unique
abilities and powers, has to defend your world
from an alien threat. This is a really pretty looking game. It's running on Unreal
Engine 5, it's got PVE, PVP, and honestly, action RPGs aren't typically co-op. So I think that's an
interesting spin on the formula. We don't have a release date
for the first descendant, but it is coming this year, stay tuned. And number 41 is Star Wars Outlaws, an upcoming action-adventure game. The first from Ubisoft,
maybe not the last, 'cause it's definitely
an intriguing title. In a lot of ways looks kind of like 1313 was supposed to look, except
for it's not set on Coruscant, it's gonna be across various planets. In a lot of ways, it
reminds me of Uncharted, there's stealth, exploration, combat, and of course, narrative. I'm excited for it, it looks really cool. I hope it delivers, because it's one of those
games where I look at it, and I'm like, this would be great, I really want to play it. But if it turns out not to be good, it's gonna be a real big flop. I have high expectations though, so I'm excited to play Star Wars Outlaws. Again, no release state, stay tuned, it is coming this year though. And number 40 is Indiana
Jones and the Great Circle, an action-adventure game set in the 1930s. What could very easily be a Tomb Raider or an uncharted style
game is actually not, it's a first person game. Very interesting looking, very different. First person whipping, whipping good. Also lots of intricate puzzles apparently. I think very interesting blend
of exploration, storytelling, and of course, cinematic crap, 'cause it's Indiana Jones. Again, no release state, so you're gonna have to wait on that. But I have a feeling
it's gonna be worth it. It is landing this year, hopefully
the Circle is very great. And number 39 is Granblue Fantasy: Relink, an action RPG that expands on the Granblue Fantasy universe from free to play web-based
thing into console gaming. This is a much more serious
entry as far as I'm concerned. You got realtime combat,
you got beautiful graphics, stuff you just haven't seen from, I mean, for what it is, a pretty cool thing. PlatinumGames had some hand
in the development earlier on, Yasuyuki Kaji, who
works for PlatinumGames, remained the director even
after PlatinumGames stopped working on the game as a company. So I mean, that input is
still there in my opinion. It's definitely an interesting game. Definitely worth checking
out, highly recommend it. I haven't beaten it
yet, but I do enjoy it. Definitely worth your time if you like a good JRPG/action RPG. It's kind of both in certain ways. And number 38 is the Silent Hill 2 remake, a highly anticipated re-imagining of the classic survival horror hame. This remake by Bloober Team
aims to keep the essence of the original but update in the same way Resident Evil has been updated, the older games have
turned into the remakes, which are very good games. As such, you're gonna be stepping into the shoes of James Sunderland, you're gonna be looking
for your deceased wife, and you're gonna uncover
a lot of dark secrets, unsettling secrets. We don't have a release date on this, but it's highly anticipated. I know that there's a
lot of varied opinions, but this is such a
beloved game, and frankly, a lot of what it seems like they're trying to do is the right stuff, in my opinion. I'm gonna be positive about it until there's a reason not to be. I haven't seen anything that makes me go, oh, well, they're definitely screwing this up. So I'm looking forward to finding out when it comes out so I can play it. It is coming this year,
so keep your eyes peeled. And number 37 is Ara: History Untold, a turn-based strategy game
that brings us grand strategy, historical simulation, mixes
it up and gives us something that's hopefully gonna
be interesting and new. You're gonna be making
decisions that alter the course of human civilization, basically creating your own
version of human history. You got all of the landmark
strategy stuff, diplomacy, research of technology,
empire building, etcetera. It looks really cool. It's landing sometime
this year, allegedly fall. So we'll let you know when
there's a firmer release date for Ara: History Untold. And number 36 is Lost
Soul Aside, an action RPG clearly inspired by both Final
Fantasy and Devil May Cry, I think particularly
inspired by Final Fantasy XV. I think it's reasonable
to assume we're gonna see more final Fantasy Style games with Devil May Cry style fighting, because as much controversy as
Final Fantasy XVI kicked up, it's a pretty good game, honestly. And I think that it's gonna
be looked back on more fondly than it was received
initially by a lot of people. Lost Soul Aside, it's not "Game
of Thrones" Final Fantasy, it's definitely Final
Fantasy XV Final Fantasy, whatever the hell you wanna call that. I'm looking forward to it, personally. If they pull it off, I
think it's a good idea. There is no release date yet, but Lost Soul Aside is
supposed to come in 2024. And number 35 is Warhammer
40,000: Space Marine 2, the long awaited sequel to the action packed third person shooter. Building on the foundation
of its predecessor, obviously enhanced
graphics, it's been a while. And allegedly a deeper narrative. Honestly, it's Warhammer
40,000: Space Marine, it's another one of those. It's a sequel to a game
that came out in 2011, and there's a whole lot of stuff that is probably gonna be
added to it, knowing that. But with the 2011 game as a foundation, I think pretty strong possibilities here. Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
2's landing on September 9th. And number 34 is Tekken 8. As the bird that did the
before you buy on this game, definite thumbs up here. Tekken 8 continues the
saga of the Mishima clan. It's got, like, insane graphics, and it brings the combat
to another new level. I would highly recommend
watch the before you buy we did of this. There's way too much to talk
about in like a 30 second slot. But it is a game that
vastly deserves the praise and attention that Tekken 7
maybe didn't completely deserve and kind of left people wanting, you know? Tekken 8 is fantastic, I love Tekken 8. Buy it, play it, that simple. And number 33, Manor Lords
is an upcoming strategy game. One of those combos of the city building, the resource management, and
the tactical warfare types. Of course, medieval. Manor Lords, it's set
in a a futile setting. So what sets it apart, I think, is the way that it
emphasizes organic growth based on the player's
decisions and the landscape. There's also these very
large scale battles that look pretty damn cool in
terms of not only spectacle but strategic planning, troop management, all the depth to the game. It looks like a really good game. Manor Lords is landing on April 26th. And number 32 is Hollow Knight: Silksong, a highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight. An action-adventure side
scrolling Metroidvania. Puts you in some different shoes. Hornet the princess
protector of Hallownest has to explore completely new kingdom. And along with that she
has different mechanics, new acrobatic abilities, and in every way it looks
like a big expansion on what Hollow Knight did. I'm excited to play Silksong. It doesn't have a release date, but it's landing sometime in 2024. And number 31 is Persona 3 Reload, another game your favorite game bird did the before you buy for. Definitely recommend watching that video. Again, this is a pretty big game. It is, in terms of the last three numbered entries of Persona,
not the most expansive, but that doesn't mean
you're not gonna be spending tons of hours with it. This is essentially the game that established the formula
followed pretty faithfully by Persona 4 and 5. It's updated in terms of visuals and some mechanics to match along with Persona 5 a little bit more. And I really think it benefits from it. Persona 3 Reload is very, very good, probably the best way you have to experience Persona 3 currently. I do have some hope that they add in some of the content
they didn't include, but all of that is true, non-withstanding, definitely pick this one up. And number 30 is Dragon Age: Dreadwolf, the next chapter in the Dragon Age series, I mean this is a great BioWare RPG series. We're following the story of Solas, the enigmatic Dread wolf. And of course, that
means deep storytelling, character study, and
obviously strategic combat. Dragon Age has never been one to hold back on the political intrigue, I expect that to be back. We don't have a release date for it yet, but it is coming 2024, I mean, this is gonna be huge. And number 29 is ARK 2, the sequel to the popular survival game, ARK: Survival Evolved. Basically the intent is
to take Survival Evolved and evolve it, bringing the
whole survival with dinosaurs, and other ancient creatures,
and stuff like that, allegedly to new heights. We'll see. I think it's gonna be a cool game. Got vastly improved graphics,
more dynamic ecosystems, more enhanced AI, etcetera, etcetera, all the types of stuff you would expect. We don't have a release date, but ARK 2 is gonna land
sometime this year. We'll let you know as
soon as we know more. And number 28 is Test Drive
Unlimited Solar Crown, bringing the franchise back, throwing down a pretty cool open world, a one-to-one scale replica
of Hong Kong Island. In terms of freedom of an exploration, they're promising unparalleled. But you know, Test Drive
Unlimited is a good series. Supposedly the point of
this is immersing yourself in car culture through this
Solar Crown competition. We don't have an exact date for it, but it is coming this year, lookout. And number 27 is
Enshrouded, a survival game that is currently in early access. It's a co-op survival action RPG set in a kind of mysterious
and eerie setting with exploration and puzzle
solving as its focus. It's a game that's been
damn pretty well received. Got really good visuals,
really good sound design. Very positive reviews with, I think, good reason to assume you'll
have a good time with it, if it sounds good, it's
pretty much delivered on what it sets out to do. I would say, go give it a shot, I've had some fun with it. And number 26 is Like a
Dragon: Infinite Wealth, a series that with its
last entry went full JRPG, this is continuing that lineage. Wow, is this a quirky game, and not in like a, oh, that's so quirky. I mean, like these are
legitimately bizarre and strange games that
are extremely engaging, massively fun. It's interesting because
it's mostly a JRPG, but there's elements of
that beat em up style combat that are brought back
in different contexts. If you like weird JRPGs, this is the best place to go for that. Also, if you just enjoy the Yakuza series, I think everything that makes Yakuza good is also still here. I had a hell of a lot of fun with Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Again, I'm pretty sure I did
the before you buy on this one, so go back and watch
that for more thoughts. I had a hell of a time with
this game, I think you will too. And number 25 is Hyper Light Breaker, which I'm gonna say
what Hyper Light Drifter is to The Legend of
Zelda: A Link to the Past, Hyper Light Breaker looks
very much like it is to Breath of the Wild. It looks very much like it
takes exactly what I described and made it very oriented
towards rouge-like stuff. You got biomes, random generation. Some of the traversal stuff
you'll recognize from Solar Ash, they actually built this
game on top of Solar Ash. But it also looks very
reminiscent in terms of the combat and movement of Hyper Light Drifter. I'm quite excited about it. I love Solar Ash and Hyper Light Drifter, big into those games. We don't know when this is coming out, but it is coming this year,
we'll keep you in the loop. And number 24 is the Gothic 1 Remake. The original Gothic is getting a remake. I mean, this game came out in 2001, it's a classic action RPG. It's also like jank central. And something that remakes
the essence of the original, giving us better graphics, a
more accessible user interface, and perhaps less jank. Honestly, like I say
that kind of hesitantly, because the jank is part of
what makes Gothic gothic. I mean, I'm kind of excited
to see a remake to Gothic. Like I really like Piranha Bytes games, but I also have my own beef with them. There's aspects of Piranha
Bytes games I just do not like, but there's a lot of
aspects of them that I do. So I'm interested just in seeing what a 2024 Gothic even is, honestly. We don't have a release date,
but it's coming this year, so stay tuned. At number 23 is Phantom
Blade Zero, an action RPG. A little bit faster paced than a Soulslike might typically be, so I'm not necessarily
putting it in that category. It is a bleak looking game with some very interesting artistic ideas. It's a semi-open world game,
not a full on open world game. You're gonna have some
pretty linear stuff in it and some semi-open stuff,
maybe sort of Uncharted 4 like. I don't know, it's an
interesting looking one. I don't wanna say it
defies categorization, because I mean, look at it, you know what this game
is from this footage. Or at least you know as much as I know, we know what we're
looking at, it looks fun. Unfortunately we don't
have a release date, so we can't play it. But it is coming this year. And number 22 is Path of Exile 2, a sequel to the popular action RPG. This looks like they are
attempting to set a grittier, darker, improved idea set 20 years after the events of the first game. Revamped skill system, more customization, and flexibility, and character building, new classes, new equipment, new challenges, new, new, new. Path of Exile was a great game, I am absolutely looking
forward to a sequel to it. It's free to play, it's multi-player, it's basically Diablo but not Blizzard. So I mean, there's good reasons
to play it in my opinion. I mean, that's not really
fair to the original. It's not just straight up a Diablo clone, but it's very much in that
realm, and it's very good. I'm excited for the sequel. And number 21 is Where Winds Meet, an open world action RPG
set in ancient China. You're our wandering hero
in a historical fiction that will see us on a little
jaunt through Chinese folklore. Got very fluid acrobatic combat, a beautifully crafted world from everything we've seen currently. I'm pretty excited for this one. It's a different looking
open world action RPG in at least enough ways
where, I don't know, in some ways I think that the combat looks absolutely fun as hell, but it's also got that beautiful kind of Ghost of Tsushima
style sensibility to it. We don't have a release date, but I mean it's wildly ambitious, and I am certainly excited
to see where it goes. We'll let you know as
soon as we know more. And number 20 is Blight: Survival, and upcoming survival horror
game set in medieval times. Not necessarily historically
accurate medieval times. There's a deadly plague out, you're gonna be out
scavenging for resources, crafting weapons, etcetera, etcetera. Obviously it's survival oriented, but I mean, it's medieval zombies. I told you it's not historically accurate. No release date yet, but it's definitely one I've
got my eye very close on. And number 19 is Kingmakers,
a game that I think, frankly, is a great idea. It's you traveling back in time to a sandbox action strategy,
and you got modern weapons, and I guess modern vehicles as well. I mean, this is a totally
crazy looking game, and it's everything I could possibly want in the premise that has been given. Like, I can't wait to play this game. It's gonna enter early access
sometime later in the year. My eyes are so glued to this one. And number 18 is Light No
Fire, Hello Games' follow up to No Man's Sky. A lot of familiar elements here. You got a procedurally generated world. It is not multiple
worlds, it's on one world, one world allegedly the size of earth. It's multiplayer from day one, and there's gonna be a
big focus on atmosphere and environmental storytelling. It's interesting because
there's gonna be manipulation of light and shadow in order to progress in terms of like revealing hidden paths and getting somewhere. I think it's gonna be a pretty
interesting puzzle oriented, procedurally generated exploration game. I think Hello Games is on the right track. They obviously learned a lot
with how No Man's Sky went, and I'm excited to play this one. They don't have a release date, but yeah, Light No Fire looks great. And number 17 is Clockwork Revolution. Hey, remember BioShock Infinite, well, here's a game that looks like it continues a lot of the ideas that were
there with your time travel, Steampunk, Victorian robot
nightmare flipping out all over the place. You got some baddy running
a city, you got a fighter, you gotta take her down, and all the retro futurism technology and potential for
storytelling, it's all here. I can't wait to play this, I
love the BioShock Infinite. Obviously this isn't the people
who made BioShock Infinite, but don't tell me that's not
what they're aiming for here. No release date, but hell, it's gonna be good, I think anyway. And number 16 is Unrecord,
a tactical narrative first person shooter that describes itself as a combination of Ready Or
Not, the tactical shooter, and this is where I think it
starts getting very weird, Firewatch. See, the interesting thing
about Firewatch is it's about what you can convince yourself
is there when it isn't. And they've described this
game as kind of similar to a detective novel or a thriller. And obviously, it's a first person shooter with a body camera. It looks really realistic and very tense. I'm excited for it,
there's no release date, but obviously it's an exciting project. And number 15 is Little Devil Inside, an action-adventure RPG that has been a long time in the making. This game is one of those kickstarters from 2015 that did incredibly well and raised way more money
than it intended to, and ended up expanding its
scope pretty significantly. And that has resulted in it
being a much bigger project than originally intended. It's a very different looking game, very minimalist looking, set in a surreal open world environment with a lot of quests that are oriented around the mysteries of the world. Little Devil Inside, it doesn't
have a release date yet. It's one of those games
that's been in the works for so long, and it's such
an interesting project, it's more worth just understanding that it probably will release this year and crossing your fingers. And number 14 is Homeworld
3, developed by Blackbird and published by Gearbox. Realtime strategy and space, I mean, that's what Home World is, and you got a whole lot more of it. It looks much bigger,
much better with big, epic battles, and it really looks like it takes advantage
of modern hardware. This is a really pretty looking game. They've been working on it since 2017, they actually crowdfunded it. And it looks like it's gonna land in your grubby little hands on May 13th, or the 10th with advanced access. And number 13 is Vampire: The
Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, a sequel to the 2004 game, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines, developed by The Chinese Room,
set in modern day Seattle. I mean, in every way it
looks like they're attempting to follow up what we
saw in the first game, except for modern and working completely. This was a quirky game when it came out and a sequel to it now is a
very interesting prospect. It's been 20 years,
sensibilities have changed, technological possibilities have changed. This is a classic and
it'll be really interesting to see how it updates, how it holds up, what changes to be specific. It is coming this year, we don't have an exact
date, but stay tuned. And number 12 is The
First Berserker: Khazan, what it is calling itself
a hardcore-action RPG, set the universe of Dungeon & Fighter. It's a story of vengeance after being falsely accused of treason. The whole point is to reclaim
Khazan's honor and glory. You got hack and slash combat, apparently a little more difficult than your typical hack and slash. And this anime art style
that it has is very distinct. Obviously we've seen a million games with a "anime art style", but you immediately know
that it's this game. Even if you don't know the name of it, it sticks out like a sore thumb. So I'm interested to play this one. It doesn't have a release date, like so many of the games on this list, but it is coming in 2024. And number 11 is Banishers:
Ghosts of New Eden, an action RPG by Don't
Nod, which is of course known for very different
kind of off-kilter games. It's a love story between a
ghost hunter and his partner, who is now dead and therefore a ghost, who was a ghost hunter, now is, you know, on the other end of things. Basically you're using the
living guy's arsenal of attacks and the dead woman's spiritual powers to battle supernatural forces. It's a good game. It came out earlier in the month, and honestly, I thought pretty solid game. Steam reviews completely agree,
definitely worth the money. And number 10 is Tomb
Raider I-III Remastered. Hey, you interested in
the old Tomb Raider games? Do you want to see them,
not look brand new, but look a little bit better, still retaining a look that's
very faithful to the original? If that's something
that sounds good, then, yeah, this is exactly what you want. 'Cause it's those games, warts and all. They do include a modern
control method, which is decent, but given the way the game is made, can be a little troublesome. You can also switch
between the new graphics and the completely old
graphics at any time, which is really cool. It also includes a bunch of
the expansion pack content from the original games. I think this was a hell of a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this remaster. Again, came out early in February. It's gotten a lot of very
good press and feedback, and I think deservedly so. It's, I mean, exactly what it says it is, it is an old school esque remaster. At number nine is ROUTINE, a first person sci-fi horror game set in a retro futuristic lunar base. It's interesting, you end
up looking like the bad guy to the bad guy, the bad
guy being the robots, which by the way, are
super freaky and weird. They move strange, they look strange, everything about this game
is just super aesthetically like cool as hell. I am really excited to play this one. It doesn't have a release date, but yeah, I'm pretty sure this one's
gonna be a really good game. And number eight is Once Human, a multiplayer open world survival game set in a post-apocalyptic future. It's a really interesting looking game. There's some freaky looking stuff in it, but it also has a lot of like very standard
survival game looking stuff. And then you see these massive monsters or these floating ghosty looking enemies. Everything about it is crazy looking. And then you also see like, hey, you could build a pretty
normal looking house. Once Human looks, honestly, cool as hell. It looks like a good
take on a survival game. It's coming out in the fall. And I'm definitely gonna be
paying close attention to it. And number seven is Palworld, ARK survival with guns and Pokemon. Multiplayer, open world
survival and crafting game. An extremely well reviewed game that people really love the hell out of. And some people really hate,
for reasons that everybody else doesn't really care about it all. It's currently in early access, it's definitely worth your time, and they're continuing to
work on it and expand on it, there's gonna be new
content in a couple months. I mean, this is a cool game, regardless of what a lot of
people have said about it. They're definitely not the majority. There's 235,000 people
that have reviewed it and it is maintaining a 93% rating. So well done to Pocket Pair on that game, good job, guys. And number six is Avowed, an action RPG that looks a lot like
a more actiony Skyrim. It takes place in the same
world as Pillars of Eternity. It's interesting because it was originally going to be in the same
way The Outer Worlds is kind of Obsidian's Fallout, or Starfield, or somewhere
in between those. This is basically going to be
that same thing with Skyrim. A a smaller scope, but a
much bigger focus on story. I think that's the right way to go. Obsidian, I have always maintained, is Bethesda without the bloat. And honestly, as much as
I like what Bethesda does in terms of ambition, I generally like Obsidian's games better. They also made the best
Fallout of all time, New Vegas. Avowed is gonna be cool,
it's an Unreal Engine 5 game, it's coming out quarter
three, quarter four this year, so look out for it. And number five is Black Myth: Wukong, an action RPG based on
journey to the West. You're playing as Sun
Wukong, the monkey king. You're gonna be battling a
bunch of mythical creatures. And if you know the story
of Journey to the West, you know basically what this is gonna be. If you don't, it's a
classic Chinese novel, it has to do a lot with Chinese history, it's kind of a
fictionalization/interpretation of real events in China. It's a super interesting thing, it takes way too long to explain. I'm looking forward to this
game, it looks real cool. It's coming out on August
20th, so lookout for that. And number four is the Fable
reboot and upcoming action RPG developed by Playground Games. It's set in the Living Lands,
part of the world of Albion. Players will assume control of an envoy of the Karelagne Empire. And you're going to investigate
a mysterious plague. It's gonna be an interesting game, because it's been a long time since Fable, and Fable is obviously no
longer a Peter Molyneux thing, it's a Microsoft thing, and
it'll be really interesting to see where they go with it. That's coming out in either
fall or winter of this year. And number three is Pacific Drive, a supernatural survival
game where you have to drive around in a station wagon and not die in all of
the crazy crap happening. A lot of this game takes place driving, which I think is great, because a lot of survival
games have other mechanics but don't really focus on them. This is a big supernatural
thing with storms that are life-threatening,
you have to nurse your car back to health a whole
bunch a lot of the time. It's a super interesting game
and a great take on survival. Highly recommend it, give it a shot, it's out now. And number two is Helldivers 2, a game that takes the
original top-down shooter, puts it in third person, and
amps everything up to 11. It looks like a worthy sequel
of the original Hell Divers, which came out way back in 2015. It's been a while and I think this was the right direction to go with it. Hell Divers 2 is a really cool game. Tons of people have been
talking about it like crazy for a very good reason,
it's just a really fun game. I would definitely say if the footage even looks even vaguely appealing to you, it's probably something you'll like. It does what it does really well. And finally, at number
one is Dragon's Dogma II. This is a game we have been
talking about a long ass time. The original came out way back in 2012. It wasn't really a instant hit, obviously, it sold alright, but it racked
up a massive cult following over the years, and people are really
excited for it to come back. Capcom said, "Going back to it, the whole idea was basically to do stuff that was technologically not
possible in the original. And also do all of the buggy stuff in the original not buggy." You can expect all of the
good stuff from the original, including the combat system, and some expansions that
look pretty awesome. Dragon's Dogma II is coming up March 22nd. And that's all for today,
