What Game Should You Play Next?
If you’re trying to be the best gamer possible, you need to play as many titles as possible, even if you don’t have enough time. With so many games to choose from, it can feel impossible to try everything. It’s always good to challenge yourself with different options, like games of patience or even VR titles to sustain you. No matter what you pick, the mark of good taste is not being afraid of trying something new. But, there are some games you cannot miss. These are the ones worth checking out. Who cares about sleep or eating, or even going to work? You have games to play. If you’re unsure which game you should play next, here are five ideas that offer something for everyone.
Remnant 2
Only released on July 25, this title takes everything about its previous iteration and goes bigger and badder. If you’re a fan of the Dark Souls franchise, you will love this, while anyone who adores a post-apocalyptic hellscape will feast on the–ahem–remnants of the battered world. It’s as scary as it is enthralling and packed with an array of ideas that keep you engaged to ensure you stick with this one until the bittersweet end.
Jagged Alliance 3
The Jagged Alliance series is one of the most popular turn-based titles, so fans rejoiced when the most recent iteration was released last month. If you’re familiar with the game, you can dive back in and enjoy the new features and story. However, if you’ve never played the game before but are more than interested in rescuing a kidnapped African president, this Jagged Alliance 3 beginners guide can walk you through all you need to know before you get started to ensure you know what you’re getting into.
Pikmin 4
Many people assumed Pikmin 3 was the last of its kind, but Pikmin 4, released ten years after the most recent game, has brought back those memories of a simpler time. Offering arguably the most chill gaming experience of the year, you can enjoy some strategic challenges that are perfect for those who remember the Pikmin games and anyone new to the title. Check out this Pikmin 4 review to see what others say about it.
Oxenfree II: Lost Signals
While Oxenfree II is an independent title in its own right, it helps if you played the previous version. Set five years after the events of the last game, things get very weird very quickly and you’ll encounter cults and dimensional portals but also a little fun. It may not be as gruesome as Silent Hill, but it certainly scratches an itch.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears Of the Kingdom
Maybe you’ve already played Tears of the Kingdom, but you may have been waiting for the kinks to be ironed out to sit down and finally dedicate some time to one of the games of the year. Despite feeling victorious at the end of Breath of the Wild, things have gone typically awry again in Hyrule and it’s up to Link and its inhabitants to solve the myriad of issues. Make sure you find out the best things to know before settling down to enhance your experience.
Next
So many games and so little time, but if you’re going to play anything this month (and maybe beyond) these are the titles you should focus on. With many new releases as well as a tried-and-tested icon of the industry, there is something for you to try and maybe even find your new favorite game.
