In retro news, I’m using my Heavy Thrusters to light a 22-candle cake for Freelancer. Chris Roberts, the mind behind Wing Commander, was behind this fine mix of dynamic economy, faction-driven conflicts, and narrative-driven campaigns.
In the fullness of time, Freelancer has since gone on to directly influence a new gen of space sims with its groundbreaking vast open-world, seamless planetary landings, and an intuitive control scheme. The DNA of this true classic can be seen today in titles like Elite Dangerous and No Man’s Sky, the latter of which you should totally lock orbit with, due to its incredible VR antics.

PC gamers can grab the visually stunning Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, a game that quickly got me addicted to its quick-draw insta-kill mechanic. Alternatively, relive a high-seas classic with Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, where the developers snuck in a working, in-game version of classic pen-and-paper game Nine Men’s Morris.

Exciting Bargains for Xbox
Over on Xbox Series X, Disco Elysium – The Final Cut offers one of gaming’s deepest narratives, and its developers basically created an entirely new tabletop RPG system just for the game.

Split Fiction
0
An expertly crafted and absorbing co-op adventure that pinballs from one genre extreme to another, Split Fiction is a rollercoaster of gameplay ideas and styles that are usually discarded as quickly as they’re introduced. 9/10, amazing.

Finally, PS5 players can grab Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin, a chaotic retelling of Final Fantasy I with a soundtrack that remixes classic tunes. Or you can just dive into the gripping noir of Lost Judgment, where the protagonist is voiced by a real-life Japanese pop idol.
FF Origin

It began as a collection of the loosest of story ideas that seemed to go nowhere, but slowly but surely Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin pulled it all together and managed to stick the landing. 8/10, great.
