Game winter in 2023 is not so hot. For example, January and February 2019 gave us Resident evil 2, Far cry: new dawn and Metro exodus. But this season we will have to wait already in March, which will bring us the first major releases. In the meantime, we have to interrupt what we have, or catch up.
Release Date: February 4
Developer: Rebellion
Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO
An army of zombie fascists with flamethrowers and circular saws on the orders of rotten Hitler captured Europe, and now the quartet of heroes has to stop it. Players have access to an extensive arsenal of outlandish weapons, ingenious devices and many unique abilities that they will use against legions of undead demonic Kaiser. The main change in the fourth part is the updated horde mode: now the longer you confront the horde, the bigger the map becomes, forcing players to quickly adapt to changing conditions, restraining the onslaught of enemies from several directions simultaneously.
Previous games cannot boast of good ratings from players and critics: it hardly exceeds 60 points. But maybe this time around Rebellion will it work out?
Release Date: February 14
Developer: Crytek
Platforms: PS4
PvP horror from the creators Crysissuccessfully retired from early access in Steam half a year ago, debuts on consoles Playstation 4.
Act Showdown takes place at the end of the 19th century, in a world where myths about monsters from folklore have become a reality. To protect ordinary people from the terrible fate of becoming a dinner for some swamp creature, evil spirits hunters and mercenaries selflessly take up contracts for the destruction of monsters. That’s just in this business competitors are not particularly favored. IN Hunt: Showdown PvP and PvE modes are presented, in which players have to use an extensive arsenal to pacify creepy monsters and other players hunting for valuable trophies. In every match, not only your character’s life is at stake, but also all your equipment, and if you lose, you lose everything except experience.
The game also demonstrates a high level of quality of the visual component of models of weapons and environments. Crytek does nothing else.
Release Date: February 14
Developer: Media Molecule
Platforms: PS4
The main sandbox and constructor after Minecraft. Over the past 7 years, an English studio has been working on a project Media molecule, previously working on pretty platformers Littlebigplanet and Tearaway. The community describes the project not as a game, but rather as a whole universe of possibilities, in which only your imagination can become a limitation. Powerful editor Dreams allows you to create both individual levels and entire games, films and even music.
Originally Dreams will be available exclusively on Playstation 4, but in the future, developers plan to transfer the project to other platforms, as well as add support for virtual reality helmets.
Release Date: February 18
Developer: PlatinumGames
Platforms: PS4, XBO
A compilation of perhaps the two most popular games Platinum games, very warmly received both by the press and the community, as well as earned many awards. The same Vanquish Western journalists at one time and immodestly called the best Japanese shooter. Concerning Bayonettathen the game received 40 of 40 from a Japanese magazine Famitsu. Such a high rating from such a prestigious publication is a sign of the high quality of the project and an indisputable reason for the pride of the developers.
Since this is not a remake, you should not expect anything other than an increased frame rate and extended diagonals from the collection.
Release Date: February 28
Developer: 4A Games
Platforms: NS
More than five years after the release of Metro Redux, it will appear on Nintendo switch. On the one hand – belatedly, on the other – it was hard to imagine that a game that once melted systems with decent hardware could ever come out on a portable console. Of course, not without a noticeable downgrade, but still.
Metro Redux is a compilation of remasters of two games 4A games – Metro 2033 and Metro: Last Light. Finally it will be possible to play Metrositting in a subway car.
And one more thing
This month there will also be re-releases and previously released games on other platforms that are also worth mentioning. Here they are:
