VALOR MORTIS: Napoleon blown apart

We wake up in a forest grove surrounded by the corpses of French soldiers. We do not know when or who we are, nor what our purpose is, but we hear Napoleon's voice in our head, urging us forwards. If the characters in War And Peace had nightmares, they may well have looked like this.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.

Where Winds Meet

The story begins in a bamboo forest. It’s a setting that’s been featured in some of the most breathtaking action scenes in wuxia films, from A Touch Of Zen to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, elevating their martial-arts flair with the stillness of nature. And Everstone Studios doesn’t recreate this scenery as a superficial visual trope, as other major releases from China have done in recent years. While the culturally Chinese Black Myth: Wukong and Wuchang: Fallen Feathers ultimately lean more towards dark fantasy and western sensibilities, this is an open-world action RPG that embraces all facets of wuxia, from the elegance of traditional Chinese strings and flutes to its romantic philosophy of virtuous heroes.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

When it staggered half-formed from its grave in 2004, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines was defined by two qualities: its mesmerising ambition and its maddening lack of refinement. Despite being released in an unfinished state, it has gained a following over the years and influenced subsequent immersive firstperson RPGs. The sequel, developed by The Chinese Room following Hardsuit Labs’ abortive first attempt, is a similarly compromised affair, but exhibits only a fraction of its predecessor’s ambition. While it occasionally evokes the original’s atmosphere, it’s undermined by flat action, a shallow open world and unimaginative quests. It also isn’t an RPG, a fact its second developer has been open about, but something that critically hinders the experience nonetheless.

Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment

Talking about Dynasty Warriors: Origins in E414, Omega Force producer Tomohiko Sho described the series' essence as “that exhilarating feeling of one versus one thousand”. The exhilaration remains in Age Of Imprisonment, but the feeling is a little different. Perhaps that's partly because its maker has relinquished the reins; this is the debut of Koei Tecmo's new AAA Games Studio, a deliberately generic name untethered from brand associations and therefore fan expectations. Either way, no previous musou game – mainline or spinoff – has ever made it more apparent that you're not facing those thousand opponents alone.

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.
