The games are organized below by price, and at the beginning of the guide you can check the difference between each one to make your choice easier.

DOOM Eternal

After 4 years, Doom gets a sequel. This is the fifth game in the main franchise. In this title, you once again assume the role of the Doom Slayer, an ancient warrior who fights the demonic forces of hell from a first-person perspective.

The game continues its predecessor’s emphasis on push-forward combat, encouraging the player to aggressively attack enemies to acquire health and ammo. The story focuses on a new horde with enemies that came from hell to invade Earth.

The game features an asymmetrical multiplayer mode called “Invasion”, in which players can join other single player campaigns, fighting them like demons. It initially arrived for PS4, Xbox and PC, but will also be released for Switch in the coming months.

 

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2

The Division 2 brings several improvements above what the first game in the franchise offered. History is still not its strong point, but the world is wider and denser, and the challenges are many.

The game requires an online connection at all times, even if you decide to play alone. For those who liked the first one, you will also like this one. Despite the repetitive missions, factions add new challenges throughout the story. Combat is more dynamic, and defeating some enemies will require more strategy than raw firepower.

Ubisoft Massive could only have created a deeper, more cohesive story that urges us to go all the way, and not just seek to improve the character to make him strong to face the final challenge. But overall, it’s a game that pleases rather than disappoints.

Mortal Kombat 11

We can venture to say that Mortal Kombat 11 is the best game in the franchise. It delivers a good story — despite being short and with a predictable ending —, improved gameplay that will please both veterans and newcomers, as well as a multitude of customization items.

Perhaps the excess of things to unlock makes the experience a little frustrating and tiring, as a lot of content you gain from beating the challenges ends up not being very useful.

Those who don’t have the patience will end up giving in to microtransactions to speed up the process. But perhaps most irritating is the fact that many characters are only accessible via DLC. It won’t be long before the “Komplete Version” will be released including all the extra content, as was the case with Mortal Kombat XL. If you’re not a fan of the franchise but enjoy fighting games, MK 11 is still a must buy.

Gears 5

Gears of War is Microsoft’s most successful franchise and the new title, just called Gears 5, is the biggest leap forward in the saga. The game features a long campaign with gigantic scenarios, a huge list of online game modes, good changes in multiplayer and plenty of content.

JD Fenix ​​leaves the spotlight and who takes the position is Kait Diaz, one of the stars of this new generation of characters who discover a deep connection with the origins of the franchise. The interesting thing is that you can play with the robot Jack in cooperative mode and help your friends with defense or attack buffs, or if you prefer, you can attack everyone yourself.

It’s back and more robust than ever, you’ll have a lot of fun in versus modes, Horde and new Escape mode. Gears 5 is a must-have for fans of the franchise, and has proved to be an essential exclusive for Xbox owners.

 

Borderlands 3

Borderlands 3 does its fan service job perfectly. If you had fun with the previous games, you’ll also have fun with this one, as it’s the same formula with minor improvements.

The lagged graphics may put off newer gamers who are used to the more realistic look of this generation’s games. And poor performance on consoles can also prevent PS4 Pro or Xbox One X owners from purchasing the game. After all, the advantage for these players would be the 60 fps that rarely occurs.

Overall, Borderlands 3 is a fun game with an old-school look. It’s worth playing if you don’t have anything else interesting at the moment. It competes with shooting games, but bets on a good sense of humor with punctual jokes and sarcastic characters. You can play with your friend both online and at home in split screen.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

After the remastered version, Modern Warfare got another makeover by Activision. The new game tries to stay true to its formula, innovating with a cadenced combat, much more strategic, therefore, much more realistic.

Unlike recent bets of the genre that focus only on multiplayer and often don’t even offer a campaign mode, Modern Warfare has a well-constructed plot that alternates well with the gameplay.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare should please new players and veterans alike. It’s good to see the franchise without fear of escaping the commonplace and daring more, while investing in what its fans like.

Samurai Shodown

If you are a fan of the franchise, you will enjoy the new Samurai Shodown. It is practically a reboot of the first title released in 1993, arriving with updated graphics, new fighters and additional challenges like the online mode.

For those who enjoy more frantic fighting games, like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter, you will find the slower style of fighting this one strange. In Samurai Shodown you need technique and patience, and brute force doesn’t always lead anywhere.

Its price was salty at launch and has been dropping over time. It is still necessary to invest a good amount in a game that may seem graphically outdated, but conquers for its successes and fun gameplay.

Ratchet & Clank: Into Another Dimension

If you’ve played 2016’s “Ratchet & Clank”, you should certainly also take a fond look at the continuity, called “Ratchet & Clank: In Another Dimension”. This game caught our attention for having a great script, being fun, having a good variety of weapons, changes between realities in real time and notable improvement in the mobility of the characters, excellent use of DualSense and not least, a fantastic voice acting.

As its name implies, “Ratchet & Clank: In Another Dimension” invites the player to jump from dimension to dimension to face an evil emperor from another reality, giving the opportunity to travel through action-packed worlds, and beyond them at speed. mind-blowing, with incredible visuals and an insane arsenal.

God of War: Ragnarök

Considered one of the most relevant titles for PlayStation, the God of War franchise receives its official continuity in 2022 with the arrival of God of War: Ragnarök with the promise of bringing an epic thrilling journey about attachment and overcoming with Kratos and Atreus at the center of the game. story.

In it, Kratos and Atreus must travel the Nine Realms in search of answers as the Asgardian forces prepare for a prophesied battle that will bring about the end of the world. On this journey, they will explore mythical landscapes and face enemies that include Norse gods and monsters, which will require both of them to choose between their own safety or the realms.
