26 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. And hey, even if you don’t purchase the DLC, you’ll still get most of the overhauls in the base game.Ĭyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be released on Sept. Phantom Liberty is as much a new chapter as a second chance to revisit original foundations.
New skill trees allow for mixing and matching new dynamic perks. Vehicle combat now allows you to jump off bikes for a surprise attack or to shoot while driving. Cyberware has been redesigned to amplify your augmentation options. Perhaps the most interesting additions in this expansion are the overhauls of many existing Cyberpunk 2077 elements. In this spy-thriller adventure, protagonist V is taken to Dogtown, a district where you’ll have to rescue a highly sought target. If you still can’t listen to “I Really Want to Stay at Your House” without crying a bit about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, well, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty might alleviate the pain with a new chapter in this universe. 21 on PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. If you’re keen on perfecting your robbery abilities by learning the ins and outs of each heist, it seems there’ll be no shortage of rewards for your efforts. Skill trees have been replaced by more specific perk groups, focused on close-quarters combat, hacking and tactician skills, and others. There’s a weekly reset, too, with the devs varying the pool of items available (and no, there are no microtransactions involved). Now, the money you, uh, borrow can be exchanged for C-Stacks, a crypto-like currency that allows you to purchase weapons, cosmetics, and special upgrades in-game. But Payday 3 promises to expand the skills and progression systems in a major way.
The signature elements of the previous games are still present, such as the careful planning of a stealth approach or choosing to the biggest weapon available to start blasting instead. for New York City with an array of new locations to steal from. Very few heists carry as much personality as the ones in the Payday universe. 19 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Nothing has been said about Pinocchio’s nose yet, so we’ll have to wait to find out if there’s a hidden mechanic involved. Pinocchio also makes use of the Legion Arm, which, similar to Devil May Cry 5’s Nero, can take different shapes and forms, from a flamethrower to a grappling hook to get closer to enemies. Fable Arts, for example, are magical abilities unique to each weapon you find, such as opening an umbrella to parry an attack or doing a flurry with a two-handed sword. Lies of P seems to have been influenced by Soulsborne games, namely Bloodborne’s gritty environments and compulsive combat that encourages fast reactions as opposed to standing back from the fray.Īlong with the imaginative setting, weapons seem to take a starring role in the experience. Mechanical puppets and extravagant creatures have taken control of humanity, and it’s your duty to uncover the truth behind a puppet virus. Pinocchio’s very bad day in Europe is drawing near. At the very least, no one can deny the breadth of inspiring experiences that 2023 continues to offer. It’ll take a few months and a couple hundred hours to see if they all meet their goals and players’ expectations. Others aim to capitalize on the ideas that built them up, or turn the page to start a new chapter altogether.
Some of the games on this list are set on honoring their influences. The rest of 2023 seems to be following suit. It’s also possible that you skipped all of the former to plunge into The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom instead.Īs we get closer to yet another busy season, the likes of Baldur’s Gate 3 and Armored Core 6 have brought new life and captivated mainstream audiences to storied, niche franchises. It feels like forever since the releases of Octopath Traveler 2, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and Diablo 4. Yet 2023 is also a year of sequels and second opportunities. System Shock, Dredge, Dave the Diver, and Venba all later latched on to the trend. Amid the too-intoxicating warmth of nostalgia, there were some personality-forward surprises, from Hi-Fi Rush to Season: A Letter to the Future, which kept things fresh and varied. The first half of the year was led by a charge of remasters and remakes, like Metroid Prime Remastered and Dead Space, that actually understood the assignment and invited players to reflect on the marks left behind by the originals.
