While it's exciting that Rise of the Tomb Raider will feature a more in-depth crafting system, hunting challenges, and incredibly diverse locations, the return of deep and detailed tombs is what's really got us gutting our wallets. But a well-funded shadow organization is trying to get their first, so Lara will have to use every trick in her book to reach that goal, up to and including bear-battling. Proving the existence of an immortal prophet seems like it hits the sweet spot in this regard. Where last time her only goal was to survive, this time she's hell-bent on finding a personal purpose and proof that she isn't as mad as everyone thinks. Now that she's recovered from the exceptional amount of injuries she sustained during her time in Yamatai (the physical ones anyway), Lara Croft is back for a brand new, likely painful adventure.
Plus, there's apparently something special waiting at the end of the river, and we're more than a little curious to find out what it is. It's by no means a forgiving game, and the smallest mistake will send you back to the mouth of the long river you're trying to follow, but there's something rewarding in learning from those mistakes and doing better next time. While that sounds way more unpleasant than fun, the joy of Flame in the Flood comes in slowly learning what it takes to survive, and managing to do it for longer and longer each time. In fact, most things will kill you, and you can expect to die over and over and over again. In practical terms, that means putting you on the absolute bottom of the food chain with only a stick to defend yourself, where drinking water without boiling it first or getting caught in the rain will kill you. But then there are games like Flame in the Flood, which take that sentiment and inverts it so we can see the nasty results, like the scene in Galaxy Quest where the pig monster turns inside-out. The main goal of many video games is to get you to feel powerful, putting a deadly weapon in your hands and letting you go to town on dozens of faceless goons. Persona 5 looks so effortlessly cool, even its menus have us excited. Random JRPG battles and social links return, but everything looks more animated, more action-packed, and even more slick and stylish than ever before. It looks like you'll be playing as a student (surprise!) who moonlights as a cat burglar when he's not busy studying for finals. Despite its expected release by Q4 2015, we actually don't know that much about Persona 5 other than what we've gleaned from a handful of trailers, but that's only got us even more intrigued. It's rare that a game can make answering questions on a pop-quiz and hanging out with friends as interesting as battling demons, but Persona 5 aims to do all of that again by the end of the year.
#Most anticipated ps4 games of 2016 series
Mashing-up dungeon crawling, strategic JRPG combat, Pokemon-style monster collection, and the power of friendship, the Persona series puts you in the role of an ordinary Japanese high school student with extraordinary powers. The Shin Megami Tensei series may have been around longer, but its spinoff Persona has gone on to find massive success here in the West since its genre-blending third entry on the PS2.
