I like the look of two games in particular at the moment (but hell, I've only got to see a trailer to be salivating for the game so it doesn't mean much really) but I'll press on anyway.
There's a recent release called
A Plague Tale. Innocence that has caught my eye. It's a straight through linear story set in medieval plague times in which a young lass must shepherd and protect her young brother through the challenging environment (hordes of flesh feasting rats in the main) to ......err....... somewhere, and avoid the clutches of the baddies who are after them. It's a stealth orientated game, and a clear run from one end to the other (which I'm kind of hankering for just a bit at the moment). The story is apparently good and the characters engaging - and visually it looks impressive. I'm in!
Then there is the long awaited
Darkborn. This is a sort of Skyrim where instead of being on the 'good' side, you're actually born as one of the so-called baddies of traditional games. You awake as a pup your family having been slaughtered by helmeted soldiers who have taken a fancy to your land, and are gradually shepherded by 'a voice' into full understanding of what has happened and your powers to fight against it. There is an interesting looking trailer with a bit of gameplay thrown in on YouTube that if you're interested might be worth a look see.
Saw a trailer for last year's
Call of the Cuthululast night and that looked interesting as well!
Damn - I'm like a kid in a sweet shop here!
