BLACK FRIDAY: Top 10 Games to look out for!

With Black Friday upcoming, we look at the Top 10 Games that you HAVE to look out for. Don’t worry, this list caters for all! Each game has a rating, but keep in mind this is my own opinion. My advice would be to go into any game with an open mind before making your own judgement.

10: It Takes Two

Rating: 7/10

A cute and fun co-op title, It Takes Two lets you and a friend control our two knitted protagonists, Cody and May. These two have been shrunken by their daughter, Rose, who was only simply trying to use love magic to save their relationship, the whole base of the story. Use teamwork and smart thinking to manoeuvre the pair around the family shed, a tree and even a snow-globe! Fight bosses in the form of toolboxes and Rose’s toys, all whilst getting the occasional therapy lesson from ‘Dr. Hakim’, the walking talking book of love.

It Takes Two only required one of two to actually own the game. This means you and your friend don’t need to both buy the game, only one of you needs to make the purchase, whilst the other person can download the free ‘Friends Pass’, allowing you to play together.

 

9: Demon Slayer: The Hinokami Chronicles

Rating: 7.9/10

The popular Anime Kimetsu No Yaiba (Demon Slayer) now has a game adaptation, in which you can fight with and against your favourite characters from the show, along with a story-based mode, following the shows protagonist Tanjiro.

Adventure Mode

In Adventure Mode, follow Tanjiro through the story from the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba anime as he slays all kinds of demons in order to save his sister Nezuko, who herself has become a demon, back into a human.

Versus Mode

In Versus Mode, characters from the anime, including Tanjiro and Nezuko, can be freely matched against each another in a 2 vs 2 setting with up to 2 players on or offline. Enjoy this simple but exhilarating battle system and become the greatest demon slayer you can!

One great thing about this game is that you don’t need to know the story of the anime to play this game, a problem that occurs often in-game adaptations of shows or anime. Of course, if you have watched the anime, you will most likely enjoy it more as you get to use your favourite characters and their moves, however, it is not a requirement by any means that you have to watch the anime before playing.

8: Back 4 Blood

Rating: 7.9/10

Back 4 Blood is a classic zombie-shooter with a sprinkle of fresh game modes, game style and features. From the creators of the highly popular zombie shooter Left 4 Dead franchise, you are at the centre of a war against the ‘Ridden’ – the zombie type creatures. These once-human hosts of a deadly parasite have turned into terrifying creatures bent on devouring what remains of civilisation. You play as either human survivors or as a zombie attack force and battle it out in either PVP online games or as a co-op team against AI. This game has a great balance between shooter and horror. It’ll give you a jump scare of two, but for the majority of the time, you’ll be shooting and killing.

 

7: Far Cry 6

Rating: 8.1/10

Welcome to Yara, a tropical paradise frozen in time. As the dictator of Yara, Antón Castillo is intent on restoring his nation back to its former glory by any means, with his son, Diego, following in his bloody footsteps. Their oppressive rule has ignited a revolution.

Play as Dani Rojas, a local Yaran, as you fight alongside a modern-day guerrilla revolution to liberate Yara! Fight against the ruthless Castillo regime in the most expansive Far Cry to date, exploring through jungles, fighting across beaches, and revolt in Esperanza, the capital city of Yara.

Employ an arsenal of resolver weapons, backpacks, and vehicles to take down Castillo’s ruthless regime.

Similar to the previous entries in the series, Far Cry 6 is an action-adventure first-person shooter game set in an open world environment in which the player can navigate on foot or via using various land, water, and air vehicles. The world is divided into seven main regions with an array of terrain, ranging from urban areas and dense jungles to mountain ranges and open oceans, giving you a taste of every type of landscape. With decision making and action taking, you can guide Yara to the place in which you want it to be. Destiny awaits and in its path comes glory and blood, in the classic Far Cry chaotic style.

 

6: Hell Let Loose

Rating: 8.4/10

Join the ever-expanding experience of Hell Let Loose – a real simulation-style experience of World War Two first-person shooter with epic battles of 100 players with infantry, tanks, artillery, a dynamically shifting front line and a unique resource-based RTS-inspired meta-game. Take part in the most iconic battles of the Western Front, including Carentan, Omaha Beach and Foy and many more. This is classic combat at a whole different scale. Rumbling tanks patrol the battlefield, vital supply caches give life-support to the frontlines and you are in the middle of it all in the intense combined arms warfare.
