Protect Windows 10 From Internet Explorer. Brainy, brawny, big, brash, and beautiful, MachineGames' new wave of Wolfenstein remains some of the smartest and most unique FPS around. This modern reboot is worthy of the name Doom , and is basically the FPS equivalent of a muscular body: it's speedy, empowering, and hits incredibly hard. You awake as the classic Doomguy to begin another spree of demon genocide on a Mars colony, with a surprisingly intriguing plotline that explains how you're able to murder so many Hellspawn.
There's a primal satisfaction to whipping out a Super Shotgun, blasting an Imp's innards into oblivion, and then performing a lighting-fast, stunningly violent Glory Kill on the demon who caught shrapnel just behind him. The classic weapons and enemy types benefit from new additions like upgrades and double-jumping, making Doom one of the most frenetically fun shooters of all time. Also, you can grab it super cheap now. What Dishonored 2 , set 15 years later, adds is a second playable character — choose between original hero Corvo or super-powerful protege Emily.
The only notable drawback is assumed knowledge — the storyline makes little sense if you've not played the first game. Exactly two decades on from her PlayStation debut — hence the PS4 version of Rise of the Tomb Raider being subtitled the '20 Year Celebration' edition — Lara Croft delivers another must-own round of substantive combat and taxing-yet-enjoyable puzzling.
The storyline, with Ms. Croft venturing through Siberia in an attempt to complete her father's work in the lost city of Kitezh, doesn't scream originality but packs in some genuine shocks, while the platforming and zip-lining mechanics take Lara to heights she's never before reached — and not just figuratively. And you really should choose to pick it up. Don't worry though, there's a Stimpak for that. Giving the main character a proper voice adds an extra layer of polish to proceedings, and the expanded set of companions and customization options are very welcome too.
Titanfall 2 is an absolute colossus of a game. It was one of the biggest surprises of , as it delivered a smart campaign and enhanced the killer mulitplayer of the original which was Xbox-only.
The story is overflowing with unique twists in a genre that long ago anchored itself in a sea of wash-rinse-repeat, offering true freedom while still retaining a sense of the familiar.
Its navigation and combat feel truly three-dimensional, and its big-gun battles are an adrenaline rush even Optimus Prime would struggle to contain. A special, special game which, in execution, is anything but robotic. We knew Monster Hunter World was going to deliver something special but no one expected quite the level of depth and beauty awaiting within Capcom's updated action RPG, or how quickly we'd add it to our list of best PS4 games.
Despite being the most accessible Monster Hunter yet, you're still going to have to wade through some intimidating tutorials to get to the good stuff but smash through that wall and be dangerously prepared to lose all of your time here.
Endless weapon types, huge creatures, constantly gorgeous environments, and a terrifyingly addictive loot for spoils system means Monster Hunter will have its claws in you from the get-go.
Oh, and don't forget to aim for those weakspots. You'll thank us later. If you're looking for more help, check out our Monster Hunter World tips. Battlefield 1 takes the epic shooter series back to World War 1, and the result is some of the grittiest, bloodiest FPS action you'll ever see.
This instalment has a great little story mode, which follows the exploits of several troops fighting on all fronts of the conflict, but it's all about the multiplayer with Battlefield. The variety of maps and modes is staggering here - especially with all the content added by the various DLC packs most of which are now completely free for ALL users.
Whether you prefer to stick as a soldier, or choose to drive tanks or pilot aircraft, there's a role for you in the chaotic online arena. Never understood why people keep games on their hard drive that they're not playing. Renting would be better suited for you then. It's cheaper than paying full price for a game that has no ownership or "control".
The main reason we pay the premium price vs. With digital it appears they want the full price without giving the control we paid for. We rent cable. We also buy digitally on iPad's and Androids and PC's for both games and music and applications.
But many of these same people view video games differently. Console gamers are the final group of users, who think this way. Reminds me of The Last of Us Digital for the next-gen. No more scratched disks, finger prints, smudges. I can switch games from just my voice. Total freedom of swapping disks In the drive. I can buy an external HDD later for storage expansion.
Plus you have to download physical games to the HDD anyway. Well there are two big reasons, one for each system , to buy digital Ps4. Remote play. Huge reason. Snap play switching games So at least even if you prefer physical to own I do there are reasons to have some digitally downloaded to each system depending on what you want to do. The problem with digital is that the publishers have total control over the market, and the prices don't accurately reflect each titles value over time.
Throw in the fact that you can lose digital titles forever if they are pulled from the market and your HDD fails, and you've got a product that should cost less Also, I don't understand why we can't digitally rent games in the same way we do with movies.
I feel like publishers are leaving money on the table in that regard. Always buy physical, cheaper and less space used. If digital cost less to start and I didn't have to worry about losing it if they take it off the store or they go out of service but unfortunately they don't.
Disc only for me. The download time is far to great to delete games then have to redownload again. Buy whatever the hell you want. If you want disc. Death Stranding had us worried for a bit. When Kojima Productions' first title was announced back at E3 , it did so to a confused and excited crowd. And the path to launch didn't see these feelings change much.
Thankfully, Death Stranding is an incredible title that is equally beautiful and unique. Without giving away too much, the premise is that you step into the shoes of deliveryman Sam Bridges played by The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus who delivers special cargo in the wake of the Death Stranding a mysterious phenomenon that wiped out many innocent lives.
But obviously, it's not all that simple. Death Stranding is something to be experienced. It's definitely an essential PS4 game but we warn you now, it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Building on the foundations set by old-school RPG classics like Baldur's Gate, Divinity: Original Sin 2 has you on a literal quest for godhood, in a world where those with magical powers are marginalized.
So far, so good for an RPG title. But Divinity: Original Sin 2 comes into its own with just how flexible and freeing its systems are. With turn-based combat that takes as much inspiration from XCOM as it does from tabletop RPG spellcasting, you'll always be given multiple ways to progress, letting you combine items and environmental modifiers to take on foes in increasingly creative ways.
Divinity: Original Sin 2 has more ideas in its first ten minutes than some games have in their entire duration: want to be an undead adventurer who can talk to skulls? Go for it. An animal-whisperer like Dr Doolittle? Throw four-player online co-op into the mix, where anyone can do whatever they want, whenever they want, and you've got a recipe for chaotic perfection.
It's one of the few games where, if you can dream it up, you can probably do it in the game. A must play. Ready to raze some hell? Doom is back and it's the best it's ever been. Not only does Doom Eternal boast all the blood-pumping, gore-packed fun we expect from a Doom game, it also adds a bunch of new RPG-like elements we didn't even know we wanted.
If you're looking for a game that doesn't focus too much on narrative and instead throws you into ripping and tearing some demons all while an adrenaline-inducing metal soundtrack plays , then Doom Eternal is one not to be missed.

Taking Kratos from Greek to Norse mythology, making him a father, and focusing on narrative as well as completely revamping combat has made God of War a welcome refresh for the franchise.

We're hoping that the God of War sequel lives up to it.
