So yes I know it is Friday as I am writing this but we are off camping this weekend, and its a long weekend, so you wouldn't get the new releases unless I did this now! I am just glad I remembered! Thank Jeebus for MS To-Do and Google Calender!
It looks to be another hot few days so stay safe, stay inside and play games!
Age of Wonders: Planetfall
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Release Date: August 6th, 2019
Do you like 4X games? I love the premise behind 4x games as they mimic reality closer in the sense you have some time to think about your strategy. Do you like to play 4X games? I really want to love playing 4X games but I am not a strategist nor do I play one on TV. I also tend to get bored without some action so while I start to think ahead I tend to revert to blowing things up and then I die.
Metal Wolf Chaos XD
Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One
Release Date: August 6th, 2019
I watched the trailer for Metal Wolf Chaos XD and I could not believe what my eyes and ears saw and heard. Released only in Japan back in 2004 by From Software to help bolster the Xbox brand over there. Metal Wolf Chaos XD is the remastered version of this over the top corny mech shooter/ brawler. Just watch the video below. There isn't enough room to fully explain this game here nor do that explanation justice.
Pillars of Eternity: Complete Edition
Platforms: Switch
Release Date: August 8th, 2019
Just over 4 years ago we saw the release of Pillars of Eternity on PC, Mac and Linux. A couple years later, in 2017, we saw the console version. This week completes the platform releases as Pillars launches on the Nintendo Switch. Originally a Kickstarter crowdfunded game that promised a return to the RPG's of old such as Baldurs gate and Icewind Dale. Pillars met most of that expectation with positive reviews and the PC, Mac and Linux crowd even saw a sequel last year. If, like me, you miss those old RPG's I suggest you pick up Pillars on one of your favourite platforms...you have lots to choose from now!
Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet Complete Edition
Platforms: Switch
Release Date: August 9th, 2019
My daughter is the resident anime fan in our household. I asked her about Sword Art Online. Not her favourite by far but she said its a game about the anime of people playing an MMO. If this sounds like its up your alley then you already know what Sword Art Online is and likely enjoy it.
