New Releases: Week of May 9 2021

 

Another week where I get off lightly with the number of titles coming your way.  We’ve got some multiplayer action set in the Robinhood universe, a massive Mass Effect remaster, and some sub zero survival coming your way.

 

Hood:  Outlaws & Legends

Release Date: May 10, 2021

Platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBX/S

This is a 4 player team PvPvE where teams run heists. It has a very Robin Hood mechanic where at the end of successful heists you decide how much gold to keep versus give back to the people. 

 

Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Release Date: May 14, 2021

Platforms: PS4, XBO, PC

I’m not sure I really see much difference in the comparison photo above other than the lady got a better haircut?!  With this remaster it seems odd they went for last gen systems.  This edition contains all the titles and DLC. The original game being the oldest gets the most upgrades so it plays like the other two titles. I continue to refuse to play this game as I’m still mad I was subjected to the same 10 minute trailer for it 4 times during a 90 minute movie theater screening of Battlestar Galactica Razor back in 2007.  That marketing certainly left a lasting impression!

 

Subnautica: Below Zero

Release Date: May 14, 2021

Platforms: PC, NS, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBX/S

This sequel is an open world survival action adventure game.  You play as a researcher exploring the planet both undersea and on land. In addition to health, hunger, and thirst you also need to keep from freezing to survive.
