Darksiders III, Yooka-Laylee, Lost Planet 3, and Garou: Mark of the Wolves
The souls-ification ofDarksidersdidn’t initially sit well with everyone, but I’m curious to check outDarksiders IIIall the same. I enjoyed the first two action-adventure games at the time (we’re talking 2010 and 2012, respectively, so it’s been a while), and I’d describe myself as being generally open to series shakeups. At least, I am inthis specific case. Worth noting: post-release, Gunfire added a “Classic” combat alternative that lets Fury “dodge interrupt her attacks as well use items instantly” for a more familiar feel.
It’s nostalgic to think aboutMark of the Wolves(which gets Moyse’sGOAT stamp of approval), as well as the entire now-dormantLost Planetseries. I wonder if Capcom will ever play in that bug-infested world again. I think I’d be open to a reboot. Maybe? Don’t hold me to that. There are more deserving Capcom revivals out there, for sure.
As forYooka-Laylee, I always feel like a picky grouch with this N64 throwback as someone who counts 3D platformer collectathons among their favorite genres, but it has its fans, and I had a decent enough time with the game. If you’ve somehow ended up withYooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lairwithout having ever touched the former game, go for it.
