RoboCop: Rogue City

Players will be able to protect and serve with an action-packed trip to Old Detroit in Teyon and Nacon’ RoboCop: Rogue City.

This action-adventure title isn’t a simple retread; players will experience an original story set between RoboCop 2 and 3 that tells of “Project Afterlife.” With their signature Auto 9 in hand (complete with unlimited ammo), players can join Anne Lewis as they dish out justice. This love-letter even has Peter Weller reprising his role as RoboCop – just the thing for longtime fans.

RoboCop Rogue City pays homage to its source material like no other. A faithful recreation of a beloved character and world over 30 years in the making. At its core, it’s a fantastic over-the-top 80s action shooter but dig a little deeper and you’ll find a dark, dystopian tale of man and machine more relevant today than ever.RoboCop: Rogue City Review, Blaine Smith

RoboCop: Rogue City is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Purchasing options can be found on the official RoboCop Rogue City website.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed

After previously working with the Predator franchise, Illfonic proves that they’re not afraid of no ghosts with the release of Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed.

Allowing teams of four to live out their ghostbusting dreams, players can track down ghosts in the ultimate game of hide-and-seek as they take on different jobs as a new recruit. Feeling a bit more sinister? Players can also choose to designate somebody as a ghost to terrorize other players in its asynchronous multiplayer. No matter what role one chooses, ghosting will make them feel good.

Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed website.

Hogwarts Legacy

The wizarding world awaits with the release of Avalanche Studios and WB Games’ Hogwarts Legacy.

Set before the books and movies in the 1800s, players will be able to enter the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and immerse themselves in this open world. Everything Potterheads have come to know and love can be done in this title, from choosing one’s house to making impromptu trips to Hogsmeade. For those that can’t get enough Harry Potter, this is your game.

Hogwarts Legacy is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Hogwarts Legacy website.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

For those eagerly awaiting the next entry in the Spider-Verse animated movie series, Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios are here to bridge the gap with Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

The multiple Spider-Man (Spider-Men?) are here, with both Peter Parker and Miles Morales as playable characters with countless suits to match. Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote also make an appearance in a New York City that’s just waiting to be explored. No matter what one chooses, players will really feel like Spider-Man (too easy).

Purchasing options for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 can be found on the official PlayStation website.

The post Best Christmas Gifts For Gamers 2023 – For Movie Lovers appeared first on GamersHeroes.

Our Best Christmas Gifts For Gamers 2023 for Xbox Series X|S fans will let players rock out, explore the far reaches of space, and even race for the finish.

Hi-Fi RUSH

Tango Gameworks switches from creepy crawly horror to raucous rhythm combat with the surprise release of Hi-Fi RUSH.

It might seem like a typical hack-and-slash title, but those willing to give wannabe rocker Chai a shot will be treated to a system that rewards those with a keen ear. Consider the title a greatest hits album, albeit an interactive one – after all, who doesn’t like The Black Keys and Nine Inch Nails?

Hi-Fi Rush is a stone-cold stunner, one with gameplay in lockstep with the beat. While finding one’s groove takes some getting used to, those with a keen ear will be in tune in no time flat.Hi-Fi RUSH Review, Casey Scheld

>Hi-Fi RUSH is available for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Bethesda website.

Starfield

Fallout and The Elder Scrolls are household names at this point, but it’s time to add a third game series to Bethesda Game Studios’ rich pedigree: Starfield.

From the moment players begin their journey across the stars, they will be able to have unparalleled freedom as they explore more than 1,000 different planets. Players can also recruit players for their crew (or even romance them if that’s their thing), customize their character to their liking, and can even commandeer spaceships.

Simply put, Starfield is Bethesda’s greatest-ever RPG. The living, breathing universe they have created is one of the most impressive in the gaming space and the sound effects and musical score push the immersion to near perfection. If only I could stop speaking to the back of NPC’s heads.Starfield Review, Blaine Smith

Starfield is available for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Starfield website.

Forza Motorsport

Turn 10 Studios once again gets behind the wheel with the release of Xbox Game Studios’ Forza Motorsport.

Gearheads will have an absolute field day with this title – this title features more than 500 real-world cars, 20 tracks with fully dynamic time-of-day, and photo realistic visuals. Don’t expect this to be a one-and-done type of title either; Forza Motorsport also includes Featured Multiplayer events, free Play, and AI-powered Forza Race Regulations.

Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition

Relic Entertainment and Xbox Game Studios’ award-winning Age of Empires IV makes its way to consoles with the Anniversary Edition of the title.

This is far from a simple retread; two new civilizations, eight new maps, new masteries, and even sneaky cheats have all been included. Of course, the title has received a noticeable facelift as well, rendering one’s empire at a shiny 4K resolution. For those in the empire business, this is the definitive edition of Age of Empires IV.

Purchasing options for Age of Empires IV: Anniversary Edition can be found on the official Xbox website.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide

The hive city Tertium awaits with the release of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide for the Xbox Series X|S.

Gun play and melee come together with its hybrid combat system, with Stray Rejects, Chaos Hounds, and Moebian Trappers just waiting to be taken down. With the ever-changing loadouts and deep customization options, this is one title that’ll truly grow with players.

Warhammer 40,000: Darktide is a worthy successor to Vermintide. Fans of good first-person melee combat shouldn’t hesitate to check this one out.Warhammer 40,000: Darktide Review, Johnny Hurricane

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2

Peter Parker and Miles Morales are back in action with the release of Insomniac Games and PlayStation Studios’ Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.

Players will have to contend with both Kraven the Hunter and the Venom symbiote as they explore a New York City that is filled to the brim with action. This isn’t a simple 1:1 remake of the map found in Marvel’s Spider-Man; new areas include Brooklyn and Queens, alongside new abilities and Spider-Man suits.

Purchasing options for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 can be found on the official PlayStation website.

Final Fantasy XVI

With roots dating back to the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in the 90s, the world of Square Enix’s Final Fantasy has a timed exclusive new entry on the PlayStation 5 with the release of Final Fantasy XVI.

This adventure treads new ground with its action-based combat system, featuring summoned monsters called Eikons alongside both melee and magic attacks. The twin continents of Valisthea are yours to explore throughout its segmented open environments, along with a growing conflict that only the protagonist Clive Rosfield can solve.

Of course, for those looking for a dash of nostalgia, Chocobos, recurring enemies, and an absolutely suave version of Cid (voiced by Ralph Ineson) are all present and accounted for.

Purchasing options for the title can be found on the official Final Fantasy XVI website.

Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores

New characters and experiences await in Guerrilla Games’ and PlayStation Studios’ Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores, an expansion of last year’s immersive game.

Players will traverse the ruins of Los Angeles, dubbed the “Burning Shores” as Aloy as they set out to pursue the awakening Metal Devil. New characters like Walter Londra and Gerrit keep things lively, while returning characters like Gildun ensure that players will come across some familiar faces.

Just note that this DLC is for veterans only; players can only enter the Burning Shores after completing the main quest, up to and including Singularity.

Purchasing options for Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores can be found on the official PlayStation website.

Forspoken

Described as a “narrative-driven adventure by the publisher, the open world of Athia awaits. Players can travel any where at any time, utilizing Frey’s magical powers in a fantasy tale that is sure to engross players. While critic feedback has been mixed on the title, those looking for something fresh will find it in this new IP.

My time with Forspoken was a strange one. Elements of the game are fantastic, with an engrossing story and a gorgeous world. However, it all just feels segmented, like nothing really wants to work together. Forspoken is a good game and one I would recommend to most open-world fans, but it just feels so close to greatness that I can’t help but walk away disappointed.Forspoken Review, Blaine Smith

Purchasing options can be found on the official Forspoken website.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

The expansive world of Hyrule awaits once more in Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a follow-up to 2017’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

This is far from a simple retread; players will be able to explore a floating sky world and an underground world known as the Depths. Series protagonist Link can also use a number of Zonai devices in combat, propulsion, and exploration. The world is your oyster, leading to a dynamic setting where no two experiences are the same.

Purchasing options can be found on the official The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom website.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Mario has been making waves since the 80s, but Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder treads new ground with an-all new journey.

Set in the Flower Kingdom, players will be able to utilize Wonder Flowers that change the world around them. Anything goes across countless stages, from singing enemies to freak storms. The unique power-ups and tight platforming action are present and accounted for, but this title exudes innovation and charm in every breath.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder once again proves that Mario is the king of the platforming genre. Much like his previous adventures did before, the amount of creativity and polish on display sets a new industry standard.Super Mario Bros. Wonder Review, Casey Scheld

Purchasing options can be found on the official Super Mario Bros. Wonder website.

Pikmin 4

The first new game in the series in 10 years, Nintendo’s Pikmin 4 once again features a wild world full of puzzles, time management, and threats.

Players will once again be able to control different Pikmin that have their own perks, but new Pikmin like the Glow Pikmin and Ice Pikmin change the formula on its head with nighttime expeditions and frozen water traversal. When all else fails, the new canine-like companion Oatchi is sure to put a smile on your face and get you out of a pinch.

Purchasing options for the digital version can be found on the official Nintendo website.

Fire Emblem Engage

Tactical role-playing meets deep storytelling with Intelligent Systems and Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Engage.

Continuing the series’ legacy, players will control Alear, who finds themselves in a conflict with the Fell Dragon Sombron. 12 magic rings that contain copies of previous Fire Emblem characters are at one’s disposal, along with deep gameplay that encourages forward thinking. Rounding things out is a new art style and 3D animation models that serve as the perfect showpiece for that Nintendo Switch OLED that Santa also brought.

However, players must attack to the beat, leading to parrying, fighting, and action that encourages a keen ear. Of course, the game’s a stylish one too, featuring timeless cel-shaded graphics filled with plenty of charm.

This is far from a simple operation; worlds get more extravagant and silly as time goes on. For those looking to cause havoc, Moving Out 2 will be a hit at your next shindig.

Between its humor and its off-the-wall action, Moving Out 2 is sure to be a hit at one’s next shindig. Those flying solo will have fun, but be sure to bring a friend or three along to get the best Smooth Moves experience.Moving Out 2 Review, Casey Scheld

EA Sports PGA Tour

Players will be able to hit the links with EA Sports PGA Tour.

This title strives for authenticity, with more than 30 courses, stunning graphics with the Frostbite graphics engine, and Pure Strike technology that ensures every hit hits the mark. The title is also Home of the Majors, really driving the experience home – no pun intended.

Featuring deep swing mechanics and incredibly detailed courses, EA Sports PGA Tour sets a new gold standard for golf games. The title is every bit as deep as one wants it to be, with RPG elements that encourage replayability and self-improvement.EA Sports PGA Tour Review, Casey Scheld

EA Sports PGA Tour is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official EA Sports PGA Tour website.

WWE 2K23

Visual Concepts and 2K Games continue to lead the pro wrestling genre with the release of WWE 2K23.

The MyFACTION, MyGM, Showcase, Universe, MyRISE career mode, and creation suite players have come to know and love have made their return, but new to this release is the WarGames match type, a recreation of John Cena’s career, and revamped referee voiceovers.

Ultimately, WWE 2K23 has something for everyone. Whether you’re a casual wrestling fan looking to jump into the squared circle for a quick match, or a die hard WWE fan looking to create and brand your own WWE Universe, each game mode brings something new and exciting to the table – even if the depth is somewhat lacking. The gameplay and combat is the best the franchise has seen for over a decade, the customization suite offers near endless possibilities, and the community content portal is incredible. All this, but I still can’t help but feel the game was so close to something more.WWE 2K23 Review, Blaine Smith

WWE 2K23 is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official 2K Games website.

EA Sports UFC 5

Street Fighter 6

Arguably the leader of the fighting game genre, Capcom’s Street Fighter 6 takes the series – and the fighting game genre as a whole – to new heights.

A number of new characters make their return, but players will have even more reasons to play with its Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub modes. Those fighting solo are well-covered with a robust story mode and plenty of options, while those looking to throw down will have countless ways to do so with online functionality that encourages a journey of self-improvement.

Street Fighter 6 is the complete package, with decades of refinement proudly on display. Whether you’re flying solo or hitting the streets with others, this is the definitive Street Fighter experience.Street Fighter 6 Review, Casey Scheld

Featuring a reborn Mortal Kombat Universe, Mortal Kombat 1 features a story mode, online multiplayer with rollback netcode, and offline gameplay – a little something for everybody. Kameo Fighters allow for variety in each battle, while characters like Invincible’s Omni-Man keep things fresh and violent.

Mortal Kombat delivers one of the most impressive and exciting storylines I’ve ever experienced in this genre. The voice acting, the facial animations, everything comes together in near perfect harmony. Fighting is fun, challenging, and rewarding every step of the way. Mortal Kombat 1 is brutally brilliant, and probably the best Mortal Kombat game I’ve ever played.Mortal Kombat 1 Review, Blaine Smith

Gamers Heroes Holiday Buyer’s Guide 2023 – Shooter Video Games

Immortals of Aveum

An FPS with a magic system? It works in Ascendant Studios and EA’s Immortals of Aveum!

Players will be able to follow the story of Jak as he joins an elite order of battlemages. This isn’t just for show; players will be able to master three forces of magic as they chain attacks and counters. 25 spells and 80 talents are available, along with hundreds of pieces – ensuring players will never be bored.

Immortals of Aveum is a worthwhile and interesting spin on a genre that is renowned for its lack of drive and innovation. It features an engaging and rewarding combat system backed up by an excellent narrative in a fleshed out and immersive fantasy setting that wouldn’t feel at all out of place in a Netflix show.Immortals of Aveum Review, Blaine Smith

Immortals of Aveum is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Immortals of Aveum website.

Remnant 2

Third-person shooters meet the world of Soulslike titles once more with the release of Gunfire Games and Gearbox Publishing’s Remnant 2.

After choosing from a number of different character archetypes that each have their own perks, players will be able to wield guns and a melee weapon as they take on “The Root” with up to three players. This is far from the same-ol’ same-ol’; enemy types, region aesthetics, and even boss characters are all randomly regenerated.

I find myself thinking this about a lot of games this year, but in a weaker year Remnant 2 could be a GOTY contender. Don’t hesitate to check it out if you like these types of games.Remnant 2 Review, Johnny Hurricane

Remnant 2 is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Remnant 2 website.

Resident Evil 4 Remake

A fan-favorite of the franchise, players will follow Leon S. Kennedy as they take on the mysterious Los Illuminados cult and Plagas. Those that rescued the President’s daughter back in 2005 will be pleased to know that this remake completely overhauls the game; new mini-quests, vastly updated graphics, and even modernized combat makes it worth a trip to this rural Spanish village once more.

While I still think the Resident Evil 2 Remake is the king, Resident Evil 4 Remake is still a fantastic game. Fans of Resident Evil or survival horror, in general, should check it out.Resident Evil 4 Review, Johnny Hurricane

Resident Evil 4 Remake is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Resident Evil 4 Remake website.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon

After a decade of waiting (and plenty of Soulslikes in the interim), FromSoftware returns to the world of mechs with the release of Bandai Namco’s Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.

These giant hunks of metal are anything but slow, however; this third-person shooter encourages speed and high level play as they step into the shoes of mercenary 621. For those new to the series, expect thrilling action, plenty of firepower, and a cool setting that rivals the best anime series.

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is an absolutely thrilling game, providing a hefty amount of challenge and the tools needed to grow and overcome any threats. Take up this call from Handler Walter – he’s got a new job for you.Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon Review, Casey Scheld

Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Bandai Namco website.

This Best Christmas Gifts For Gamers 2023 list for strategy video games will keep armchair warriors the world over busy well into the new year.*

For the King II

A roll of the dice will determine your fate in this long and treacherous journey, with more than 30 hours of gameplay to all. Failure is not the end of the world, however, this digestible roguelike will help players get stronger and wiser their next go-around. If all else fails, bring a friend or three along – For the King II supports up to four players.

For The King 2 is the perfect sequel. It takes the very best components of its predecessor and uses those time-tested elements to raise the series to new heights. To put it simply, For The King 2 is one of the best strategy-based co-op experiences on the market today.For the King II Review, Blaine Smith

For the King II is available for the PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official For the King II website.

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo

Tactical combat and hundreds of quests await in a game that has players fighting in fast-paced, tactical turn-based combat. More than 60 spells and over 100 different troops are at your command, just the thing to befriend cities, harvest resources, and expand your almighty domain.

I ultimately think SpellForce: Conquest of Eo is going to be a turbulent release. As a fan of turn-based combat, I loved every minute. Exploring the world, finding new and powerful allies to add to my armies, discovering new Necromancer recipes to summon deadly hordes of the undead, fighting off the constant attacks from The Circle – it’s a game I will return to time and time again. However, long-time fans of the franchise may struggle with the stark differences between turn-based and real-time strategy in a franchise they’ve grown to love for the latter.SpellForce: Conquest of Eo Review, Blaine Smith

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official SpellForce: Conquest of Eo website.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns

A darker take of the Marvel Universe awaits with the release of Firaxis Games and 2K Games’ Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Sure, technically, it launched last year, but it’s a criminally under played game and one that’s a must-play for strategy and Marvel fans alike.

Players will take control of the customizable Hunter as they team up with The Avengers, X-Men, Runaways, and other Marvel legends. This title is unique, in that is combines the rich story and progression of an RPG with the tactical strategy and combat mechanics of card-based tactical titles. The end result? A title that is truly spectacular.

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is, without question, my Game of the Year and has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time.Marvel’s Midnight Suns Review, Blaine Smith

Marvel’s Midnight Suns is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Marvel’s Midnight Suns website.

2023 has been an incredible year for gaming, with hundreds of titles to choose from. How is somebody supposed to figure out what to buy and what to play? Enter Gamers Heroes’ Holiday Buyer’s Guide 2023 – a chance to see what the experts have to say about what the best the year has to offer.

Our Best Christmas Gifts For Gamers 2023 for RPG video games will set players off on the journey of a lifetime – all without that nasty holiday travel.*

Baldur’s Gate 3

Dungeons & Dragons DMs will be able to take their campaigns to the world of video games with Larian Studios’ Baldur’s Gate 3.

Variety is the spice of life here; with friends in tow, players can explore an open world where the word “linear” is non-existent. Players can take on any quest in any sequence, with more than one approach available at any given time. Note that decisions all have consequences throughout its rich story.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is nothing short of a masterpiece. The story is incredible, the world gorgeous and immersive, voice-over and writing of the highest quality, an amazing soundtrack, everything comes together in near perfect harmony. It’s not only the best RPG of the year, it’s the RPG of a generation.Baldur’s Gate 3 Review, Blaine Smith

Baldur’s Gate 3 is available for the PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and GOG. Purchasing options can be found on the official Baldur’s Gate 3 website.

Sea of Stars

While Sabotage Studio’s Sea of Stars has been deemed a retro-styled RPG, this adventure can best be described as a love letter to the genre.

As players follow the story of Valere and Zale, they’ll be able to use the power of the sun and moon through a rich turn-based combat system that emphasizes deep strategy. To add to its authenticity, Yasunori Mitsuda lent his talents to the soundtrack – he worked on a little-known title called Chrono Trigger.

Sea of Stars sets itself apart with its unique look, relaxing vibes, engaging gameplay. Not only is it a great indie RPG, but it currently sits at the top of my indie GOTY list.Sea of Stars Review, Johnny Hurricane

Sea of Stars is available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Sea of Stars website.

Starfield

An adventure years in the making, the far reaches of the galaxy await with the release of Bethesda Game Studios’ Starfield.

Players will be able to explore the Settled Systems as they scan planets, install laboratories at outposts, commandeer spaceships with its modular ship customization system, and do countless other things. Much like the Fallout and The Elder Scrolls titles, players will be able to truly get lost in the far reaches of space.

Simply put, Starfield is Bethesda’s greatest-ever RPG. The living, breathing universe they have created is one of the most impressive in the gaming space and the sound effects and musical score push the immersion to near perfection. If only I could stop speaking to the back of NPC’s heads.Starfield Review, Blaine Smith

Starfield is available for the Xbox Series X|S and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Starfield website.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty

A new spy-thriller adventure, CD PROJEKT RED worked overtime to make sure Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty fulfilled everyone’s neon-drenched dreams.

Set in Dogtown, players will be able to immerse themselves in a new story where players will have countless secrets and opportunities to explore. Of course, players will have the tools they need; one can create their own playstyle with a new skill tree and countless pieces of new tech, cyberware, vehicles, and weapons.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is a tale of redemption in its purest form. No rubbish, no corpo spin, dedication, passion, and determination to deliver on promises made long ago. The team at CD Projekt Red may have taken a rough road to get here, but now they can rest easy. Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is finally, the game we all hoped it would be.Cyberpunk 2077 Review, Blaine Smith

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Purchasing options can be found on the official Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty website.
