Life Is Strange: True Colors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n- Developers:<\/strong> Square Enix (Deck Nine)<\/em><\/li>\n
- Release Date:<\/strong> September 10, 2021<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
You can never seemingly go wrong with Square Enix, but they have become so large that they have now bought up several smaller studios to farm out some of their games. The Deck Nine studio is in charge of Life is Strange: True Colors<\/em><\/a><\/strong>. Of course, Life is Strange<\/em> has become a major series by this point. This is the fifth installment of the series, and the third in the mainline universe. We know, it’s kind of complicated. The most important thing to know is that it takes place right after Life is Strange 2<\/em>.<\/p>\nReturning in its graphic novel appearance, True Colors is set to live up to its name as new engines have allowed Deck Nine to make the world come alive. Combined with a third-person view, you’ll play as Alex Chen. She is an Asian-American woman who grew up in the foster system, with a troubled childhood. She reunites with her brother after 8 years, only for him to die mysteriously. Using her empathic powers, she must track down who is responsible. It’s clear to see why it’s one of the most popular Playstation games of the year. Although, it will also appear on several other platforms too.<\/p>\n

- Release Date:<\/strong> May 25, 2021<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Biomutant<\/em> was released back in May for the PS4, Windows, and Xbox One. An expected PS5 version is in development but no release date has been given. For those who have played it, Biomutant<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is said to be relatively fun. It currently has around a 75% audience score, which isn’t bad for an Action RPG. Plus, this game has a story you need to pay close attention to. The game uses branching storylines, where each decision you make will decide how your specific story unfolds. Our main plot revolves around the “tree of life.”<\/p>\nIt is affected by a natural disaster and poisonous oil beneath the soil ends up polluting it. The five roots of this tree, which offer life to the entire world, are also under extreme threat. Five creatures threaten to kill the tree before it repairs itself while six tribes further complicate the story. Three want to heal the tree and bring balance while the other three want to use it to attain more territory and power. You can decide where you fall in this system and align with any tribe you wish while also taking out the others. Plus, you can decide the fate of the tree without tribe alignment.<\/p>\n

- Release Date:<\/strong> June 4, 2021 (August 24, 2021, for PS5)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The highly anticipated sequel to Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, this game is exactly what everyone assumes. It is a sniper game, and one of the most accurate ever made. Military snipers helped in the original development of the game and many since have played the series. While you might not have to sit around watching for a target for days like some snipers, the actual mechanics of shooting are as accurate as they can get in a video game.<\/p>\nOf course, while the game likes to focus on a headshot concept sometimes, this is the most unrealistic part. Real snipers will tell you that they focus on the best shot possible, and the head is not always the best. If you hit, it’s a kill shot each time but the best shot might often be the chest. Of course, things can always get crazy on you and that might require more than just sniping which this game also flows into. Overall, it’s a lot of fun. Making it one of the most popular Playstation games to play.<\/p>\n

Who isn’t a Ratchet & Clank<\/a><\/strong> fan? These two have been great exclusives to the Playstation for decades now. When the PS5 was set to come out, Sony Interactive knew they needed something exclusive that could be promised to those who bought the console within the first year. Ratchet & Clank delivered, gaining wild praise from PS5 players who were stunned by its beautiful visuals, improved combat, and overall advancements since the last game.<\/p>\nMetacritic gave it an 88\/100 while IGN offered a 9\/10. Game Informer, Gamespot, and Gamesradar+ gave it no less than a 9\/10 too. This alone should make it one of the most popular Playstation games of 2021. We should not be shocked, as the impressive Insomniac Games studio was behind this game. As of this past July, it has sold a little over one million copies which could improve by the Fall period.<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077<\/em><\/a><\/strong> originally came out in late 2020 to be ready for the launch of the newer consoles. Of course, it was also released on the previous generation’s consoles too. While it was praised for how well it looked on the next-gen consoles, it was a buggy mess on the PS4 and Xbox One. It became such a problem that Sony removed it from the Playstation Store from December 2020 to June 2021. This was an odd miss for CD Projekt Red, who had previously put together the brilliant Witcher<\/em> series of games.<\/p>\nThe very team in charge of this game put together The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em>! The narrative was what we expected from this team but the downplay of bugs was horrific by a team fans thought they could trust. Now, the plan is to do a relaunch with most if not ALL major bugs removed. The developers are also supposed to be releasing a free DLC sometime this year as well to make up for their blunders. The assumption is that the team does not want to make the same mistakes twice, which is why Cyberpunk<\/em> has become one of the most popular Playstation games to look forward to in 2021.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Bloodborne\"](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/bloodborne.jpg\")

While the actual Bloodborne<\/em><\/a><\/strong> game has been out since around the Spring of 2015, there is a plan to re-release the game for the Playstation 5 in a remastered form. Some have expected a second game to come about, and FromSoftware hasn’t technically ruled this out. But since they are busy with many other intellectual properties, a second installment is unlikely at this point. Yet they never ruled out remastering the original Bloodborne game.<\/p>\nThis has been one of the most popular Playstation games ever made. It’s also an exclusive, as it was published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Exclusives do not often make as much money for studios as a game released for most systems, such as their Sekiro<\/em> & Dark Souls<\/em> games. Yet a remastered Bloodborne<\/em> would certainly net a huge profit, especially as the PS5 system becomes more available for people to purchase this holiday season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Marvel's](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/marvels-avengers.jpg\")

When Marvel’s Avengers<\/em><\/a><\/strong> came out in 2020, it seemed to do pretty well with some fans and fail with others. Some seemed to expect it to be much more than it ever could be, such as a superhero version of Final Fantasy<\/em>. While it was made by Square Enix, they could not make it exactly like a Final Fantasy game. The real issue was that it became repetitive, with similar maps and tasks after the main story. Plus, delays on promised releases (likely due to Pandemic issues) only made players even more upset. For example, the Hawkeye and Kate Bishop DLCs were delayed and Spider-Man was promised to Playstation players.<\/p>\nHe has yet to arrive as a playable character so far. Square promised that none of the DLC content after the purchase of the original game will cost players a penny. While there are some microtransactions, it’s only involving costumes or level increases. All of which you can earn by playing. Hawkeye’s mode was released in the Spring along with the Red Room Takeover. Cosmic Cube, Wasteland Patrol, and War for Wakanda will all be out by Fall 2021. All of this content has made it one of the most popular Playstation games to keep an eye on in 2021. Plus, Spider-Man is still coming…likely by Wintertime.<\/p>\n

Yeah, we’re discussing a LEGO game here! We aren’t afraid to say we love them. Of course, there is none better for our site to discuss than the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga<\/em><\/a><\/strong> game. TT Games has been killing it with these games, with LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> getting huge buzz by fans. The plan for the Skywalker Saga is to adapt all nine of the film entries involving the Skywalker clan in some way. Usually, with these titles, you’re forced to go through a linear story. However, TT Games is not going with that method this time around. You’ll be able to start from any of the nine entries that you’d like.<\/p>\nEach of the entries or “episodes” will have five story missions, offering the opportunity to play on 45 different levels! This will include maps for Naboo, Tatooine, Kashyyyk, Mustafar, Yavin 4, Hoth, Dagobah, Jakku, Endor, Starkiller Base, and many more. You’ll also be able to have full open-world exploration on Star Destroyers as well as the Death Star! The exact release date has not been given but it’s expected by Fall 2021. You can see easily why this is one of the most popular PlayStation games that people are looking forward to playing.<\/p>\n

FIFA is, of course, a soccer game. It actually ranks as the most popular game on the planet and is one of the most purchased game titles annually. This is why EA likes to put a lot of time and effort into making it special. While they seem to not give a darn about the MLS or the many American tournaments we have, they do put special attention onto the rest. FIFA 22<\/em><\/a><\/strong> will be changing things up a bit with brand new career mode material.<\/p>\nBeginning on FIFA 21<\/em>, Electronic Arts decided to start changing things up in the career mode. A lot of those changes are back with a few more. Yet gameplay was their biggest focus, as they added “hypermotion technology” to try and replicate exactly what you see on the pitch each match by players. New leagues will also be added to this game, including the England National League, Indian Super League, Liga Cyprus, Polish 5th Division, and Brasileirão Série B.

Obviously, the sequel to the original Dying Light<\/em> from 2015, the highly anticipated second installment from Techland will be available in December 2021. This will be for all consoles available right now, including both the PS4 and PS5. Dying Light 2<\/em><\/a><\/strong> is going to be a lot like the first game, an open world, first-person, action-role playing game set in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. The cool thing is that this game will be set 20 years after the events of the first Dying Light<\/em> game.<\/p>\nThe protagonist will be Aiden Caldwell, voiced by Jonah Scott. You might know him from his several voice-acting roles from things like One Punch Man<\/em>, Elder Scrolls Online<\/em>, and Final Fantasy VII Remake<\/em>. Caldwell will have various parkour skills, a lot like an Assassin’s Creed character. They have given him over 3,000 parkour animations too! You’ll also be able to use normal weapons like guns, crossbows, and spears. The footage from this game already has people excited, and it’s one of the most popular Playstation games people are planning to buy this holiday season.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Mass](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/mass-effect-legendary-edition.jpg\")

Mass Effect<\/em> has been hit-and-miss as a franchise. While some games are beloved, others left a lot to be desired. However, the original three were usually well-liked by fans. A remastered version of the original trilogy came out back in May, which many fans were happy to see. BioWare and Electronic Arts did not just want to release the Legendary Edition<\/a><\/strong> as just a remastered version though. They also wanted to go back and fix glaring problems the others had too.<\/p>\nThis includes several different technical and gameplay adjustments, on top of the visual enhancement work. Due to the original Mass Effect<\/em> coming out in 2007, it was in need of major improvements. Overall, BioWare put in a lot of time with it graphically but they also improved combat mechanics, vehicle handling, as well as its loading times. Abstraction Games and Blind Squirrel Games both helped BioWare with everything. It seems to have worked out incredibly well for the series.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"It](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/it-takes-two-1-scaled.jpg\")

Well, this game came out of nowhere to grab our attention. It Takes Two<\/em><\/a><\/strong> might have been published by Electronic Arts, but it was developed by Hazelight Studios. The only other game credited to this studio was A Way Out<\/em>. Of course, that game sold over one million copies in less than two weeks back in 2018. Yet no one really knew much about It Takes Two<\/em>, other than knowing it was an action-adventure game that is mostly co-op. The most popular Playstation games, or those for any console, tend to be those that grab you in one of two ways.<\/p>\nIt has to be a blast to play and\/or the story needs to be awesome. Hazelight meshed both. The game is about a married couple, Cody and May, who are planning a divorce. One day, they are arguing and then tell their daughter, Rose, about the divorce. She goes out to the family shed with hand-made dolls that look like her parents and play-acts with them to repair her parent’s marriage. However, a tear lands on one of the dolls, and now the parents now find themselves in the bodies of these dolls! They must fix their relationship in an attempt to reach Rose and return to their human forms.<\/p>\n

Returnal<\/em> was released in April 2021 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Developed by Housemarque, it was obviously published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. This is a third-person shooter but set in the psychological horror genre. All within a futuristic science fiction setting. It’s a lot but this game is epic! You control Selene Vassos, an ASTRA Corporation explorer who attempts to land on the off-limits planet of Atropos. This was done against the orders of her commanding officer. Yet Vassos must investigate something she calls the “white shadow” signal.<\/p>\nHowever, her ship has suffered incredible damage as she crashlands on the planet. Now, unable to contact ASTRA, she must explore the planet. On it, she discovers her own corpses throughout the planet. Every time she dies, she loops back to the moment she crashes. However, she cannot learn patterns from this, as the planet changes every time she dies too. She must fight hostile aliens and scavenge leftover tech as she continues investigating. This game is a thriller that has been getting top marks from critics worldwide. That makes Returnal<\/em><\/a><\/strong> one of the most popular PlayStation games of 2021 so far.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Final](\"https:\/\/dev.sciencesensei.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/final-fantasy-vii-remake.jpg\")

The footage from this game already has people excited, and it’s one of the most popular Playstation games people are planning to buy this holiday season.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Mass Effect<\/em> has been hit-and-miss as a franchise. While some games are beloved, others left a lot to be desired. However, the original three were usually well-liked by fans. A remastered version of the original trilogy came out back in May, which many fans were happy to see. BioWare and Electronic Arts did not just want to release the Legendary Edition<\/a><\/strong> as just a remastered version though. They also wanted to go back and fix glaring problems the others had too.<\/p>\n This includes several different technical and gameplay adjustments, on top of the visual enhancement work. Due to the original Mass Effect<\/em> coming out in 2007, it was in need of major improvements. Overall, BioWare put in a lot of time with it graphically but they also improved combat mechanics, vehicle handling, as well as its loading times. Abstraction Games and Blind Squirrel Games both helped BioWare with everything. It seems to have worked out incredibly well for the series.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, this game came out of nowhere to grab our attention. It Takes Two<\/em><\/a><\/strong> might have been published by Electronic Arts, but it was developed by Hazelight Studios. The only other game credited to this studio was A Way Out<\/em>. Of course, that game sold over one million copies in less than two weeks back in 2018. Yet no one really knew much about It Takes Two<\/em>, other than knowing it was an action-adventure game that is mostly co-op. The most popular Playstation games, or those for any console, tend to be those that grab you in one of two ways.<\/p>\n It has to be a blast to play and\/or the story needs to be awesome. Hazelight meshed both. The game is about a married couple, Cody and May, who are planning a divorce. One day, they are arguing and then tell their daughter, Rose, about the divorce. She goes out to the family shed with hand-made dolls that look like her parents and play-acts with them to repair her parent’s marriage. However, a tear lands on one of the dolls, and now the parents now find themselves in the bodies of these dolls! They must fix their relationship in an attempt to reach Rose and return to their human forms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Returnal<\/em> was released in April 2021 as a PlayStation 5 exclusive. Developed by Housemarque, it was obviously published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. This is a third-person shooter but set in the psychological horror genre. All within a futuristic science fiction setting. It’s a lot but this game is epic! You control Selene Vassos, an ASTRA Corporation explorer who attempts to land on the off-limits planet of Atropos. This was done against the orders of her commanding officer. Yet Vassos must investigate something she calls the “white shadow” signal.<\/p>\n However, her ship has suffered incredible damage as she crashlands on the planet. Now, unable to contact ASTRA, she must explore the planet. On it, she discovers her own corpses throughout the planet. Every time she dies, she loops back to the moment she crashes. However, she cannot learn patterns from this, as the planet changes every time she dies too. She must fight hostile aliens and scavenge leftover tech as she continues investigating. This game is a thriller that has been getting top marks from critics worldwide. That makes Returnal<\/em><\/a><\/strong> one of the most popular PlayStation games of 2021 so far.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nBiomutant<\/strong><\/h2>\n
