Bandai Namco’s fighting game does an excellent job of portraying the personality and likeness of The Witcher 3 protagonist, but fails to make good on the full crossover potential CD Projekt Red blessed it with. Soulcalibur 6’s Geralt moves like a witcher and talks like a witcher but spends most of the game’s story mode just muttering to himself in between bashing faceless enemy fighters’ heads in.
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, out last month for the PlayStation 4, is a game primarily built for competitive online play. It has a story mode, but each chapter has to be earned in battle.
In addition to having the worst cover of all time, the new Madden will have a scripted story mode, following the successful NBA 2K series in its attempt to summon REAL DRAMA out of digital sports. Here's hoping it will be good -- and that you can skip the cutscenes. Here's the trailer, via EA's press conference.
Street Fighter V's long-awaited story mode arrives this Friday on PlayStation 4 and PC at 5:00pm AEST. In case you need more incentive stay offline to play an extended single-player mode, Capcom's releasing Balrog as well.
