Having rid himself of the cursed Blades of Chaos, Kratos wields the magical Leviathan ax during most of the game. This time around, he’s accompanied by his young son Atreus, as the pair sets out to mourn the death of their wife and mother by spreading her ashes at the highest peak of the nine realms. The game sees you stepping into the shoes of the Kratos – aka the Ghost of Sparta – as he explores yet again a massive open-world inspired by Norse mythology. While it may not be as polished as its numbered predecessors, Genesis delivers the same satisfying combat and progression mechanics that fans have come to expect from the series.Ģ018’s God of War focuses more on storytelling while still delivering the exciting, hack and slash inspired combat of the original trilogy. Fans of hack and slash games already know how great it is to be able to see as much of the battlefield as possible. In Genesis, instead, the camera is placed above your player character, offering a top-down perspective reminiscent of classic dungeon crawlers like Diablo. The series is traditionally played in third-person. The reason we’re highlighting Darksiders Genesis is because of how much it benefits from a shift in POV while advancing the story, casting you as the fourth and final horseman, Strife. The series sees you entangled in a war between heaven and hell told from the perspective of different members of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. You may already be familiar with the action-adventure series Darksiders, which has been around since 2010 and is comprised of three main games and a spin-off. In addition to a massive 50-hour story campaign, Nioh 2 features a new online co-op mode where up to three players can fight side by side as they try to take down suped-up yokai bosses. They all fall into different playstyle categories and have their quirks, but they’re all very effective at ripping into enemies, human and non-human alike. This time, there’s an even wider selection of traditional Japanese weapons to wield, including odachi, kusarigama, and even dual katanas. Set during the late 1500s in the Sengoku Era in Japan, Nioh 2 serves as a precursor to the events of the original game and sees you taking on the role of Hide, a half-spirit, half-samurai being. Nioh 2 leans even further into the ‘tough-but-fair’ Dark Souls inspired combat typical of the first game, while ditching its protagonist in favor of customizable characters. This commercial success is often regarded as one of the best PlayStation exclusives of its generation. This year saw the release of a follow-up to Team Ninja’s samurai RPG Nioh.
