2. Resident evil 7 - bio hazard
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a survival horror video game developed and published by
Capcom. The game was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and
PlayStation 4 in January 2017, the latter featuring support for the PlayStation
Virtual Reality headset. It is the 24th entry in the Resident Evil franchise, and the first main series installment
to be played from a first-person perspective. Resident Evil 7 was announced during Sony's presentation at E3
2016 in June.
The story
follows Ethan Winters as he searches for his wife Mia, which leads him to a
derelict plantation inhabited by the Baker family. Ethan makes use of weapons
and tools in the fight against the Baker family and creatures known as the
"Molded". Healing herbs are used in the event of injury and there are
puzzles that may be solved to further the story. Instead of being
action-oriented, the survival horror element present in earlier installments
took priority. Thus, the game uses a first-person perspective. It is the first
commercially released game developed in the RE Engine.
Resident Evil 7 received generally favorable
reviews, which praised the gameplay, graphics, and design. PlayStation Virtual Reality
was hailed for increasing player involvement. However, it was also subject to
complaint, with decreased resolution and physical discomfort cited as its chief
offenses. Further criticism was directed at the game's boss battles and the
final chapter of the game. It had the third-best sales debut in the series and
has shipped over 3 million copies.
Unlike the
more recent Resident Evil installments,
the gameplay emphasizes horror and exploration over action
The
PlayStation 4 version of the game is also fully playable in Virtual Reality
using the PlayStation Virtual Reality headset, with the core gameplay mechanics
remaining identical. Compatibility with Virtual Reality devices for Windows and
Xbox One will be released in 2018. For more details click here
3. Prey
Prey is an upcoming first-person action-adventure video game
developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is
scheduled for release in May 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and
Xbox One.
In Prey,
the player controls Morgan Yu while exploring the moon-orbiting space station Talos I, where research into a
hostile alien collective called the Typhon is performed. As the Typhon escape
confinement, the player uses a variety of weapons and abilities derived from
the Typhon to avoid being killed by the aliens while looking to escape the
station. The station is presented as an open world to the player, with
progression through the world after obtaining key items or abilities similar in
nature to a Metroidvania game.
Arkane's Prey
is a re-imagining of the original 2006 Prey
developed by Human Head Studios. While Prey
2, a sequel to the 2006 game, had been planned, it fell into development
hell following transfer of the intellectual property from 3D Realms to Bethesda
Softworks, and eventually canceled in 2014. Arkane's version does not use any
of the planned sequels assets, and only incorporates the name and the broad
theme of the protagonist being hunted by aliens of the previous games. Arkane
built Prey as a spiritual
sequel to System Shock,
providing the player with several potential means of progressing within the
game.
The game will have
multiple endings, according to lead designer Ricardo Bare, the endings fall
into two major narrative structures depending on how the player broadly
interacted with the station and surviving humans, but Bare said there are
"tons of little permutations" based on specific events. For more details click here
4. Mass effect Andromeda
Mass Effect: Andromeda is an action game is developed by BioWare
Montreal and published by Electronic Arts for

is planning to populate new home worlds in the Andromeda Galaxy as part of a
strategy called the Andromeda Initiative. The player assumes the role of either
Scott or Sara Ryder, an inexperienced military recruit who joins the Initiative
and wakes up in Andromeda following a 600-year journey.
Mass
Effect: Andromeda has a lighter tone than previous installments in the
series, with open world elements and an emphasis on exploration. Many of the
series' traditional gameplay elements remain, while others have been modified,
such as combat, which is less cover-based and more mobile.

PC. The world of
For Honor is harsh, yet filled with beautiful wildlands, grandiose landmarks,
and majestic ruins. Its hardy inhabitants eke a living as they can in spite of
living in a state of near perpetual war. A cataclysm struck a millenium ago, nearly
destroying all civilizations. Homelands were sundered, empires burned, and
whole nations exiled themselves. From the ashes of this catastrophe, the
Knights, Vikings, and Samurai rose again. They struggled to rebuild their
nations, trying to recapture the glory of their ancestors.
Carve a path
of destruction through vivid, larger-than-life battlefields in For Honor, a

other Ubisoft studios.

designed to deliver the feeling of true dueling without sacrificing
accessibility and simplicity. It has been created through motion capture by

6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an action and
adventure video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo
Switch and Wii U video game consoles. The game is a part of the The Legend of Zelda series, and
follows amnesiac protagonist Link, who awakens from a 100-year slumber to a
mysterious voice that guides him to defeat Calamity Ganon before he can destroy
the kingdom of Hyrule.
The title's gameplay and mechanics constitute a
departure from the series' usual conventions, featuring an open-world
environment, a detailed physics engine, high-definition visuals, and voice
acting. Announced in 2013, the game was initially planned for release as a Wii
U exclusive in 2015, but was delayed twice prior to its release on March 3,
2017. Breath of the Wild was a
launch title for the Switch, as well as the final Nintendo-produced game for
the Wii U.
Breath of
the Wild received acclaim from critics, who deemed it to be one of the
greatest video games of all time. Critics praised the game's open-ended,
physics-driven gameplay that encourages player experimentation and exploration,
with many calling it a landmark title in open-world game design, although minor
criticism was directed at the game's technical performance.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild departs from most games in the The Legend of Zelda series, as it features an open-world environment which is twelve times larger than the overworld in Twilight Princess, with less emphasis on defined entrances and exits to areas. Similar to the original The Legend of Zelda, the player is placed into the game's world with very little instruction, and is allowed to explore freely at their own pace. For more details click here
7. Red Dead Redemption 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is coming later this year,
meaning it's almost time to lace up your cowboy boots and get ready to take on
the Old West once again.

Redemption 2 is launching for PS4, Xbox One and Xbox Scorpio in Fall second
half of 2017. The latter will hopefully offer improved textures, performance
and resolution. Rockstar is yet to announce an official release date, or
whether it will ever be coming to PC.
We know very
little about RDR 2 at the moment, other than it will star seven characters and
incorporate both single and multiplayer components. Rockstar's official website
gives us a small snippet:
"An
epic tale of life in America’s unforgiving heartland, the game's vast and
atmospheric world will also provide the foundation for a brand new online
multiplayer experience."
Rockstar has
confirmed that PS4 owners will be the first to receive specific online content
for Red Dead Redemption 2. For more details click here

9. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon
Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands is an open world tactical shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris. ... The game was
released on March 7, 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
The game allows for players to team up on missions
to exotic landscapes in hunt of various members of a South American drug cartel
that has gotten too powerful. The trailer is overlaid with some cliched
dialogue about being the elite forces designated, Ghosts, who can do the things
that no other blah blah blah.
What you can enjoy about the trailer is the variety of the open world you'll be playing in. This will be the first time a Ghost Recon game has attempted to have an open world setting. So, if the variety of environments shown off here are combined with the gameplay the franchise is known for, then Ubisoft may have another winner on its hands. For more details click here
