Date Everything

Date the sofa, date the washing machine, date the garbage bin, DATE EVERYTHING!!!

Our next pick is probably our oddest, and it comes from one of the studios’ Team 17 supports, which tracks. The romance sim, Date Everything is a unique twist on the genre that allows you to date practically anything. The plot of Date Everything revolves around you becoming unemployed due to being insufficient compared to AI. However, your life changes after you receive a pair of magical glasses from a mysterious stranger. The glasses known as ‘Dateviators’, transform your home and its furniture into living beings. Suddenly, your house is filled with humanoid furniture that you can date, befriend, and interact with.  

Each dateable object has their own story and can potentially become your lover, friend or enemy. There are 100 dateable characters to interact with who are all fully voiced. You can dive into this dating sandbox and begin talking with whoever at any time. Each character offers unique stories with a branching narrative that can lead to three possible endings.

You are sent to investigate rumours of a plague spreading throughout the living lands, a place of danger and secrets. This untamed wilderness is full of adventure with an ancient secret that threatens to destroy everything. It’s worth mentioning that, unlike their other games, Avowed is not an open-world game.

Avowed‘s new RPG combines magical spellcasting and melee combat alongside a bunch of other options. Mix and match swords, spells, guns, and shields to fight your way.

Lost Records: Bloom & Rage

Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Conquer the seas, discover hidden islands and acquire loot like a true yakuza pirate!

For our next pick, we take you towards the high seas for an over-the-top modern-day pirate adventure. Like A Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii has you play as the loony ex-yakuza, Goro Majima. After waking up on a remote island in the Pacific with no memory, Majima sets sail and reinvents himself as a pirate. Accompanying you is a boy named Noah who saved your life, his father, and a few more rag-tag companions. Before long, they’re caught up in a conflict between cutthroat criminals, modern-day pirates, and other scoundrels over a legendary treasure.

Like most Like A Dragon games, you’ll explore different areas and participate in bombastic combat scenarios. Dynamically switch between two different fighting styles, Mad Dog and Sea Dog. Mad Dog brings Majima’s speed, agility and signature flair to deliver precise powerful attacks that stun enemies into submission. Sea Dog arms Majima with dual-wielding short swords that allow him to perform insane attacks and use tricky pirate tools to kick some serious booty. Assemble a one-of-a-kind crew to sail the open sea and forge your legend by engaging in intense ship warfare. Engage in real-time ship battles involving explosive cannon fire, machine gun fire, lasers and an all-out crew vs crew brawl if you get their ship’s health low enough. 

Monster Hunter Wilds

The ultimate hunting experience awaits you in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Finally, our last pick is the next entry in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Wilds. The series finally returns and aims to give us a similar experience to what we had in Monster Hunter World. Like other games in the series, you play as a new hunter ready to fulfil your duty by tracking and defeating powerful monsters. The Guild intercepts a boy named Nata, the lone survivor of a monster attack at his village in the Forbidden Lands. After hearing the boy’s tale, the Guild organises an expedition to investigate. You are sent as part of a unit to search for the monster and to rescue Nata’s people known as the Keepers. You won’t be alone on this adventure, hunting partners and fellow expedition members will support you throughout. 

The Forbidden Lands inhabits many monsters that have adapted to the region’s drastically changing weather shifts. During the harsh Fallow and perilous Inclemency periods, ravenous monsters will venture out to hunt in packs. However, during the Plenty periods, wildlife is rich and abundant. With that in mind, hunters will need to adapt to the new region and be ready to change tactics on the fly. It’ll take more than the grand arsenal of weapons and armour to take monsters on. You’ll need to learn to anticipate a monster’s behaviour and familiarize yourself with the environment.
