I never played a true blue MMORPG before; I just don’t like the idea of paying a subscription for a single game. However, if I were to play one in 2021, it would be this Final Fantasy XIV that everyone raves about. I hear the best of Final Fantasy can be found here including the best music, stories, characters, and even artwork. All of that isn’t enough to sway me though. I’ll just be happy for all the folks who’ve been waiting for Endwalker to arrive.

I can hardly believe it’s been 11 years since Alan Wake debuted. I liked Alan Wake at the time. It nailed what it was going for and even though there was arguably too much repetitive combat scenarios in the game, the vibe was enough to get me through until the end and then some.

I actually played Psychonauts years ago, but I didn’t get a chance to finish it. I also don’t remember much about it other than the fact that the platforming didn’t feel great. I should go back to it because Psychonauts 2 finally launched and I should check out what Raz was up to before diving into the long awaited sequel. I backed years ago before Double Fine got snapped up by Microsoft and placed it on Xbox Game Pass. I have my Steam key, but I’m going to play the Xbox Series X version.

I never played The World Ends With You, but I kept hearing about for years. And now there’s a sequel and I feel that if I ever want to check that out, I should go back and check out the Nintendo DS classic.

A Plague Tale: Innocence is coming to PlayStation Plus’ Instant Game Collection for the month of July which removes all possible excuses for me not to play it. By all accounts, it seems to be a fine game filled. With a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X upgrade coming July 6 as well, it’s probably the best time to get it on this rat filled survival horror game.

Virtua Fighter 5 Ultimate Showdown sounds like a pretty impressive remake by Sega. I played VF5 via a Yakuza game and/or some demo for a handful of hours, but that’s about it. I never really took to the series, but considering it’s included in June 2021’s PlayStation Plus Instant Game Collection, I might as well give it another go.

Wreckfest is a title that pops on my radar through its numerous deals and yet I barely know a single thing about it outside of the fact that it was a tech demo that was quite impressive back in 2018 and then it was renamed and made into a game. It’s launching next week for PlayStation 5 and will be made available as part of May’s Instant Game Collection for PlayStation Plus members.

What do I know of Outriders? It’s a video game made by the people who brought the world Painkiller, People Can Fly. There was a demo out that folks thought were pretty good. It’s also coming out on Xbox Game Pass which means I can give it a go if it ever catches on.

I’m a fan of the look, the art, and the style of the Bravely Default on the Nintendo 3DS. However, the reviews and impressions of it left me cautious and wary of diving in at full price. By the time it went on sale, I lost interest entirely. I didn’t even bother with the demo of Bravely Default II and judging by the impressions and reviews of the sequel, I don’t think I’m missing out on too much.
