Naughty Dog: Deathloop, It Takes Two and Fortnite are the favourite games of 2021

With the end of this year, the annual list of 2021 favourite games returns from Naughty Dog team members, who admit that “ 2021 has been a great year, both as developers and as players! “. The team certainly needs no introduction. This is the developer who created the Uncharted sagas and The Last of Us, two of the most prolific and popular in the modern landscape of action adventures.

What are, however, the titles that have conquered the minds behind one of the reference studios of the videogame world? The site page starts immediately with a big surprise, that is Bugsnax! Loved by Deputy Director Christian Girling and his daughter who says, “ This was a unique and fantastic game that managed to bring me and my 7 year old daughter together. We worked together and took turns. The different insects and all their special strengths and weaknesses made the game a truly addicting adventure / puzzle. #WouldBuyAgain “.

Death loop also managed to win over very important people with game directors Matthew Gallant, Kurt Margenau and development director Waylon Brinck appointing Deathloop! The comments are very enthusiastic and say: “ Setting up an immersive sim in a time loop was a brilliant idea. Each space visited and revisited becomes richer as you acquire new tools, new information and new things to appreciate thanks to the environmental narrative “. Or again: ” The breath of fresh air from the universe is what really caught me, at a time when so many games feel like ‘more of the same “.

Game director Anthony Newman is betting on Fortnite, admitting that: “ When I started working on this multiplayer project, I had a very superficial opinion of Fortnite as something that was a mere toy for teenagers, a fad that was popular only thanks to Drake. How wrong I was! Fortnite is truly inspiring! “

Not least is It Takes Two, the recent winner of the Best Game of the Year award at The Game Awards 2021. It was chosen by Rochelle Snyder, Senior Communication Manager of Naughty Dog, who defined it as a sort of “ gift ” for her family. “ We spent hours on the couch laughing, planning, and occasionally giving directions to each other. What a gift Hazelight Studios has given us, absolutely superb “.

Continuing on the page we then find Frostpunk, and the last chapter of The Dark Pictures Anthology, House of Ashes. Finally, we find Metroid Dread, praised by Wasim Khan, director of character technology, who wrote: “ Metroid Dread blows you away with its satisfying gameplay and dark atmosphere, all while telling an extremely engaging story. “

The last game on the list is Returnal, which has come into the good graces of deputy director Arne Meyer and Jeremy Yates, the animation director who crown it game of the year, commenting: ” A wonderful mix of beauty and horror, Returnal has created a world in which I lost myself. for countless hours during 2021. It was a masterpiece in design efficiency and created a truly addicting gameplay loop that made my heart pound and sweat my hands. “

Naughty Dog concludes by wishing all of us happy holidays and thanking all the fellow developers who have made this 2021 so video game exciting. What were, however, your favourite titles of this last year?

Metro Last Light turns ten: free on Steam for a few days

Metro Last Light turns ten free on Steam for a few days

Metro Last Light is free on Steam for a limited time: you can redeem it until Thursday 25 May. The developers of 4A Games have decided to proceed with the initiative to celebrate the tenth birthday of the title, the second of the Metro franchise (which, at least so far, is a trilogy).

Unfortunately, we are talking about the Redux reissue released a couple of years later, which is based on a more recent version of the graphics engine, but if nothing else it is the Complete Edition which contains all the DLCs. You can find it by following this link. Naturally, the game is free “forever”: once redeemed, it will be part of your library like any other title.

The franchise grew out of Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky’s short story Metro 2033, released in 2005. It is the dystopian story of a post-apocalyptic Russia trying to recover from the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust 20 years earlier. Initially, the story was published on their website completely free of charge, and over time it has evolved into a multifaceted and globally recognized franchise.

Ironically, the games, all attributable to the survival horror FPS genre, are developed by a Ukrainian studio (or rather, founded in Ukraine but based in Malta for almost ten years). Glukhovsky and other authors continued to expand the Metro universe with more or less short stories; Glukhovsky, who is also a journalist, recently sided with Ukraine in the conflict triggered by his motherland, so much so that the Kremlin issued a warrant for his arrest on charges of defamation of the Russian army, due to a post on Instagram, and faces up to 15 years in prison if caught.

Like Last Light, Metro 2033 also received the Redux treatment with a decidedly more modern graphics engine, still acceptable even today. Exodus, the latest chapter in the saga (so far, at least), is very recent (dates back to 2020).

For the anniversary, all the other titles in the franchise are also on offer, even if not free: in fact, €12.49 is enough to take home the complete saga , which includes the Redux versions of 2033 and Last Light, Exodus and the expansion packs for Exodus. You can find it by following this link .

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League postponed to February 2024 | Official

Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League postponed to February 2024

Rocksteady confirmed the rumors reported by Bloomberg a few weeks ago: his new game, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, is delayed, and will be released in spring 2023. To announce it on Twitter was the creative director of the studio, Sefton Hill; sadly the news is what it is, but if nothing else the exclusive animation that accompanies the message is a pretty nice homage to waiting fans. As you can read from the message, Hill doesn’t go too far into the technical reasons that led to the decision: he simply needs more time to complete the game in the best possible way.

If this timeline is met, it will have been almost eight years since the release of Rocksteady’s previous game. It was in fact at the end of June (more precisely on the 23rd, or the third day of summer) when Batman: Arkham Knight was released, the final chapter of the original Arkham trilogy started by the same studio in 2009. Kill the Justice League will be the formal continuation of the saga main: in short, it will take place a few months after the events narrated in Arkham Knight.

However, let’s not expect another open-world single-player like the previous chapters of the saga: the new title should be more devoted to cooperative multiplayer , and will allow you to control four characters, namely Harley Quinn, Deadshot, King Shark, and Captain Boomerang. The game was announced in 2020 during the DC FanDome.

According to rumors, the development of a game starring the Suicide Squad, the group of super villains/anti-heroes DC Comics, had begun immediately after the release of Arkham Knight, but the project was being followed by WB Games Montreal. Sometime later it was discovered that the project had been canceled – or rather, had radically changed direction: it then became what we know today as Gotham Knights, whose launch is scheduled for this fall .

Well, it seemed that we were almost there, and instead comes the announcement of a new postponement, which is quite significant. Like the first time, the official post shared on Twitter speaks of a “painful but necessary” decision to guarantee the highest possible quality standard. The appointment is set (at least for now…) on February 2, 2024.
