Android army ahoy

This is actually a pretty big week for Switch fans, with a couple of big names arriving. Of course, the headliner is NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition, but there’s more than just that coming up in short order.

While NieR is great, there’s also the expansive, space exploration title No Man’s Sky also hits this week. The Switch version sounds like it doesn’t skimp either, bringing the game’s massive universe to Nintendo’s little console. And yes, that includes seamless arrivals and departures from far off planets.

Along with those two, LEGO Bricktales, the Assassin’s Creed Mega Bundle, and an absolute load of smaller releases all hit. So scroll on down and take a peek at what’s scheduled.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch

• NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition – NieR:Automata The End of YoRHa Edition is the Nintendo Switch version of NieR:Automata, an award-winning post-apocalyptic action RPG that has achieved deep-rooted popularity around the world. In the distant future, invaders from another world attack without warning, unleashing a new type of threat: weapons known as “machine lifeforms.” In the face of this insurmountable threat, mankind is driven from Earth and takes refuge on the Moon. As 2B, a member of the newly organized android military force YoRHa, players will immerse themselves in a ferocious battle to take back the planet.

• LEGO Bricktales – Embark on an epic adventure across a world of beautiful LEGO diorama biomes crafted brick-by-brick with your little robot buddy in tow as you search for inspiration to help your grandfather reinvigorate his rundown amusement park. Your journey will take you to the deepest jungle, sun-drenched deserts, a bustling city corner, a towering medieval castle and tropical Caribbean islands. Help the minifigures of these worlds by solving puzzles and unlock new skills throughout the story to uncover the many secrets and mysteries they contain. LEGO Bricktales will be available on Oct. 12.

• No Man’s Sky – Inspired by the sense of adventure and imagination from classic science-fiction, No Man’s Sky presents you with a galaxy to explore, filled with distinct planets and lifeforms, and constant danger and action. In No Man’s Sky, every star is the light of a distant sun, each orbited by planets filled with life, and you can go to any of them you choose. Fly smoothly from deep space to planetary surfaces, with no loading screens and no limits. In this infinite procedurally generated universe, you’ll discover places and creatures that no other players have seen before – and perhaps never will again. No Man’s Sky will be available on Oct. 7.

The post Nintendo Download: ver.2022.10.06 appeared first on BrutalGamer.

Where Xbox’s games of the year were smaller and indies, the Switch’s were action, platforming and strategy, PS4’s games are largely of the role playing variety. Without further ado, lets break down the top five Playstion games from the last year:

5. Pyre

Pyre deserves a spot on this list because of just how pretty the game is, but don’t let that distract you from the incredible gameplay and story the latest from Supergiant presents. The game mixes visual novel with a fun sports game to create an experience unlike any other. Loveable characters and unforgettable moments cement this game’s place on this list.

4. Uncharted: Lost Legacy

One of the higher profile games on this list, the newest Uncharted returns to the world created and fleshed out by Naughty Dog.

By all accounts, Lost Legacy is indeed a full Uncharted game. The game makes evolutions in the right places, while keeping gameplay anchors like platforming and climbing. For fans of Uncharted, Lost Legacy is another great addition. For everyone else, it’s just another great game that deserves to be played.

3. Nier: Automata

Now, we are really getting into the heavy hitters of this list.

Nier is the follow up to the PS3 Nier. The sprawling RPG broke storytelling ground by having a story that continues after the player clears the game for a first, second and third time. Here is the game’s launch trailer:

2. Horizon: Zero Dawn

When it released, Horizon was PS4’s answer to Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Both of these games are huge open world epics where you can play basically however you want. There is a reason this game was so acclaimed when it released: It is gorgeous and a blast to play. Add in strong characters and a compelling story and you have the makings of a top-two Playstation 4 game of the year.

1. Persona 5

Persona 5 is the long awaited successor to Persona 4 (Breaking new ground in this analysis, huh? hah!)

The game is a huge life sim and dungeon crawling RPG for the PS4, where you make friends by day and fight monsters by night, using your own personal demons as weapons and allies. This isn’t new for the series, but the way in which the game draws players in and refuses to let them go is pretty special.

The game is positively dripping with style, excelent musoc, art and more. This is really a game that RPG fans cannot afford to miss. Do yourself a favor and play this one.
