The start of the year typically marks the conclusion of the holiday excitement, resulting in a relatively modest release of new titles. Nevertheless, each year, the first month often brings the opportunity to experience several excellent games.
This year is no exception, as alongside less prominent titles (with due respect to each game and the developers' efforts, which we always appreciate), there are some games that we are particularly anticipating more than others.
In the upcoming January, we'll spotlight three standout games that hold a unique appeal and are anticipated more than others. These include Ubisoft's Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, the remastered version of The Last of Us 2, and Tekken 8.
While many players initially anticipated more from the new Prince of Persia game, and some fans were initially disappointed with the decision to opt for a 2D format, it appears to be a game of exceptional quality. Although only time will reveal the full extent, there's a prevailing sense that the new "Prince" might turn out to be a delightful surprise.
Initially, there was some surprise regarding Naughty Dog's decision to create a remastered version of a game released at the tail end of the PlayStation 4 era, especially considering its visual and overall excellence as a masterpiece. However, given Naughty Dog's track record of delivering impressive experiences, there's eager anticipation to see what they have in store for the remastered version of The Last of Us 2. An added positive note is that PlayStation 4 owners of the game will have the option to purchase a cost-effective upgrade to the remastered version for just $10.
For enthusiasts of top-notch fighting games, Tekken 8 promises to be a genuine delight. The anticipation is high to reunite with familiar characters and, naturally, encounter new ones in fresh, exciting forms. Tekken has consistently proven itself as a series that never fails to deliver, and there's a hopeful expectation that it will continue to uphold that standard.
