Haven’t played first Ori game yet? It’s about time!

After all those great announcements at E3 of games to come many of us face a difficult question: But what to play NOW?

And the answer can be so easy: Revisit some of the great franchises that just announced a new installment!

Here are 5 ideas what to play after E3 to prepare for the new releases:

  1. The next installment in the Assassin’s Creed series was announced! Assassin’s Creed Origins will take place in ancient Egypt. But do you remember how the series started? Go back in time (ha!) and play Assassin’s Creed®: Director’s Cut!
  2. A new game in the Call of Cthulhu universe is always good news for horror fans. And of course there are more game in this setting.
    For example this beautiful (but extremely difficult) point and click adventure from 1993: Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet
  3. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle promises a lot of fun with the minions-like humor of the rabbids and Mario in Peach’s everdoomed kingdom. But this is not the first time the rabbids have …uhm… “played” with a popular platformer hero! Check out Rayman Raving Rabbids!
  4. The trailer for Metro Exodus was impressive but also the old parts of the series were already incredibly atmospheric. They were both re-released as graphically improved Redux version including all DLC. Check out Metro 2033 Redux and Metro: Last Light Redux!
  5. Ori and the Blind Forest is a wonderful game that united many different kinds of gamers in their praise. A great platformer but also an emotional story combined with wonderful graphics.
    Play Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition and then wait impatiently until Ori and the Will of the Wisps gets released.

Enjoy!
