I’ve been a diehard Fable head for years. I even wrote an ode to the much-loathed but actually-very-interesting Fable 3 a couple of weeks ago. I know Fable 3 was weak in loads of ways, but it experimented with some weird shit, and I can respect that. Plus we’ve always got Fable 2 as a bonafide Perfect Game, so I don’t mind if Fable 3 isn’t the most replayable experience ever designed. Anyway, I digress — Fable 2 co-op was brilliant, wasn’t
One of 2020's biggest games was Final Fantasy 7 Remake from Square Enix. A timed-PS4 exclusive, Final Fantasy 7 Remake earned rave reviews when it launched earlier this year, with critics heaping praise on the game for its visuals, action-packed combat system, and how it expertly expands on the original Final Fantasy 7 story. Final Fantasy 7 is closely tied to PlayStation's identity, with Final Fantasy 7 standing out as one of the most critically-acclaimed games on the PS1, and being the first Final Fantasy released for a non-Nintendo platform. Final Fantasy 15 is currently available through the PlayStation Plus Collection, so Square Enix is clearly open to the idea of its games being on the service. Perhaps Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be added when we're closer to Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 's release da
Gravity Rush 2 director Keiichiro Toyama is rumored to be working on a Silent Hill PS5 exclusive game , but prior to that, he worked on the Gravity Rush games. Gravity Rush 2 was praised by critics at the time of its release for taking what made the original popular and increasing the scale dramatically. Gravity Rush 2 expanded on the original game's gravity-bending gameplay mechanics, allowing for unique exploration and combat situations not found in many other games. And to sweeten the pot further, maybe Gravity Rush Remastered could make its way to the PlayStation Plus Collection at some point down the line as w
I have been playing Genshin Impact for over a month and have yet to grow bored of the world it has to offer. It’s worth noting that this doesn’t mean I spend five hours a day wandering around Teyvat — often, I log in for 20 minutes or so just to box off my daily commissions and tackle a sidequest or two. I firmly believe that this is Genshin Impact’s greatest stren
Maybe it’s just me. I enjoy playing Final Fantasy 14 the odd time and liked Runescape when I was a kid, but aside from that I’m not a big MMO guy. Fable, though... Fable’s different. I remember spending entire days with friends just traipsing around Albion in split-screen, causing as mighty a ruckus as humanly possible. It’s probably the most enthusiastic I’ve ever been about playing a Adventure Game Cheats, at least in terms of actively responding to it — laughing, shouting at the screen, calling NPCs names befitting their animated and imbecilic selves. I think having at least some online elements — preferably the exact ones I assigned to Genshin above — would allow us to really tap into that same experiential nostalgia that made Fable what it was. I don’t want loads of fetch quests tied to MMO grinding — which Genshin has lots of, but fortunately doesn’t force you into — or to have some leech come up and steal my loot after taking down a massive dragon lad or whatever. But I do want to be able to share the experience of playing Fable with other people, because that’s always what made Fable special, and different from other games. It just gave you and whoever you were playing with this mutual, magical sense of joy. Regardless of what Playground does with Albion, gnomes, and Reaver — _ please _ bring Reaver back — I reckon I’ll be delighted with the new Fable game once it lets me play through the story like the previous ones without locking me out of its unique form of co-op delinquency and debauch
Bug Fables is a great third-party game that has flown under the radars of many gamers. Yet Nintendo fans, particularly those of the Paper Mario series, should enjoy it. From its opening hours, players will notice similarities between Bug Fables and Paper Mario , including its storybook aesthetic, whimsical soundtrack, and sense of humor. This carries on to its gameplay, as Bug Fables features turn-based combat , overworld puzzles and platforming, and of course a multitude of sideque
It's pretty typical for RPGs to get more exciting and interesting as the player levels up, it's almost a requirement for the genre. The first Borderlands game is a perfect example, as the game is heavily reliant on the eccentric guns that become available to players as they level up high
Another big 2020 game for the PlayStation brand was Sucker Punch's Ghost of Tsushima . A brand new IP, Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous open world samurai action game that has quickly become one of the PS4's most-celebrated exclusives. Sucker Punch has continued to support Ghost of Tsushima since launch with the addition of a co-op mode, and by bringing it to the PlayStation Plus Collection, Sony could ensure that the game's online community stays active. Ghost of Tsushima being such a new release is likely the main reason why the game isn't part of the PlayStation Plus Collection on PS5 right out of the gate, but maybe that will change in the months ah
