Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Red Dead Redemption 2 are two of the most engaging recent open worlds, in large part because of their slower pace and focus on immersion.
The Hogwarts Legacy video game is on sale for the lowest price yet. You can get the Standard Edition on Steam for $29.99 down from $59.99 (that's $30 off). And, the Digital Deluxe Edition can be picked up for just $59.99, which is $59.99 off its usual price of $119.98.
50% is about as far as I made it through the game too. It started so strong in and around the castle... $30 feels about right though
Palworld is a runaway success for developer Pocketpair, but creator Takuro Mizobe isn't looking to make triple-A Xbox games anytime soon.
Saad from eXputer: "Despite the success of Hogwarts Legacy, WB's decided to focus on live service and I've lost all hope for a potential sequel."
Let's just chalk this game up as a fantastic one-off, and WB can go f******* rot in hell.
I have no idea how eceutive teams can look at both Hogwarts and suicide squad next to each other and go hey our critical and commercial darling was a fluke suicide squad was the real success they just didn't know it.
Seemingly there's some weird ego involved someone wants to be proven right
I bought thought it was okay first 10 hrs then boy did the repeative gameplay kick in
They will realize that live service games die pretty much as soon as they begin and then they’ll stop and we may still get a sequel.
I can understand Red Dead Redemption II despite it's many faults gameplay wise but Breath of the Wild? Nothing that does evolves the open world formula, whether people still don't want to admit it or not the fact is many games before it did some things in their open world games better.
It's nice that we can get out of the open world comfort zone now and again. Understandable folk are going to bounce off that of course, but I'd rather that than the same, admittedly solid, formula over and over.
Haven't played RDr2, but if there is one open world game that has set the standard, it is by far Witcher 3 and I hope that Cyberpunk 2077 is even better which will set a bar of its own.
Don't forget The Witcher 3
I hope the standard isn't traveling for 5 minutes and making someone pay a debt for 2 minutes and traveling back. Also, terrible controls....
