Unconfirmed 2019 Games We re Excited To See

As the name suggests, both games predominantly take place in Moscow's underground Metro, though players must occasionally risk the conditions on the surface. Metro Redux 's post-apocalyptic setting is what makes it stand out, as the development team, 4A Games, did a fantastic job of creating bleak, eerie environments that will stick in players' heads long after they're finished play


From one collection to another, Halo: The Master Chief Collection offers incredible value to players. It implements every first-person Halo title aside from Halo 5: Guardians. Moreover, the collection includes the high-definition remakes of classic titles like Halo: Combat Evolved , which let players seamlessly switch between the old and new visuals with the press of a but


The best free Xbox games can be enjoyed regardless of whether someone invests anything besides their time. Even if that criterion is met, some games are still better than others in terms of quality and fun factor. That being said, here are the greatest free-to-play games on Xbox Series X/S and Xbox O


Eric Nyland wrote the very first Halo novels to expand on the lore and give readers a look beyond the games. Both The Fall of Reach and First Strike offered a story surrounding Halo: Combat Evolved that gave definition to a protagonist Bungie purposefully left blank. His works introduced the world to Master Chief's Blue Team allies, Catherine Halsey, and more characters who would later find their way into both the games and spinoff media like the upcoming Paramount+ TV show . The scenes on Reach in Nyland's first book would also go on to inspire much of Bungie's own Halo Infinite Events: Reach , as they both depict the initial days of the conflict between the UNSC and Covenant for


The fifteenth installment into the iconic Call of Duty franchise was released in 2018 by Activation, with development from Treyarch who had help from Beenox and Raven Software. The game's creators made the decisive decision not to include a traditional single-player campaign. The Solo Missions mode replaced it inst


This isn't to say that there weren't Halo spinoffs in Bungie's era, but the franchise's creators didn't seem concerned with integrating that material into their work. In some ways, they directly contradicted it, pushing the narrative of John-117 as the last remaining Spartan in a universe where he canonically teamed with several Spartan cohorts before and after his first adventure on the titular ringworld. For some fans, 343's warm embrace of the wider lore is most welcome, but it had a significant effect on Halo 's ability to draw in a wide audience with its single-player campaigns. When the big villain of Halo 4 's adventure meets his fate in a comic book years before Halo 5: Guardians , the end result is a player base consisting of just the most faithful f


343 Industries has had a somewhat rough time picking up Bungie's narrative torch. In the hands of its original developer, the Halo _ franchise told a cohesive story through the main trilogy and several side games. While a tale of a lone space marine taking on an alien menace won't win any awards for originality, it was laser-focused on delivering massive set pieces and epic moments that players lived through in-game. The _Halo games created by 343 Industries, in contrast, don't always feel like they're all part of one long narrative. Both Halo 4 and Halo 5: Guardians feel like puzzle pieces, and fans need to fill out the board with expanded universe content like novels in order to see the full picture. The sad truth is that quite a few of these books end up telling stories better than the Xbox games the Halo franchise revolves aro


In a way, this format could also be the driving force that makes the next Halo the 343 game that captures the magic of the original trilogy. While Halo Infinite will definitely have a narrative that continues on from the mostly derided revelations of Halo 5: Guardians , its open-world structure opens the door for a lot of side stories covering other corners of Halo's extended universe . There is room for side stories featuring the cast of Halo 3: ODST , RTS title Halo Wars 2 , and the best of the novels. In this way, maybe Infinite can find a narrative that satisfies everyone and forges its own path away from Bungie's **Halo ** tril


Ghost of Tsushima ’s biggest strength so far is its interesting setting, and the title will try to include a level of authenticity by giving players the option of switching the audio to Japanese with English subtitles . Should its open world gameplay live up to the visual design choices, then it is bound to get plenty of l


Halo has always been about shooting everything in sight and making the biggest explosions possible. We love it. Yet, sometimes, we yearn for more. Sure, there are a few driving segments here and there, but we'd love to see more stealth — which Halo 2 attempted, sort of — or something to give us vari
