The lack of a campaign also hurts. Although not a big deal for a decent part of the fanbase, I did love to play through the campaign to get a nice feeling of the game before jumping into the online portion — plus, I cannot help but feel the game has lost a bit of value while also costing $10 more than the last iteration.
Riders Republic is far from being the best game I have played in 2021, but it is probably the most fun I had this year. It takes the best of the golden age of extreme sports games and combines it all with a vast and vivid open world full of snowy and rocky areas for you to enjoy all the rides available at launch.
Eldest Souls incorporates two of the best traits from a Souls game: challenging boss-fights and a minimalist storytelling approach. You will die a lot, but at the same time you will never feel cheated by the game — au contraire, you will find yourself on that “one more try” loop, unable to put the controller down until you find out a nice build combination to defeat a boss. And when you do, the satisfaction is near-instant.
Cris Tales sets a high bar when describing itself as a love letter to some of the best JRPGs of all time, but indie studio Dreams Uncorporated manages to exceed expectations by delivering a charming game with unique and challenging combat mechanics and a gorgeous artstyle. The characters are interesting, and the ability to peer into their past and future makes you care even more for them – especially the protagonist and its allies, which will travel alongside you during the game’s 20-30 hours of gameplay.
