Platform: Available on PS5 and Xbox Series X
Release Date: Late 2020
(originally scheduled for February 25th 2020, it has been pushed back to an unknown date)
Another beautiful adventure coming from Ubisoft is Gods & Monsters. Set on an island full of mythical creatures and Greek gods, this game is meant to be like that of a storybook. Our player is a forgotten hero who sets out on a quest to return the powers of Greek gods that have been stolen by Typhon.
Not only are you meant to restore their powers, but as you go, you will be given special powers to help you along your journey and who doesn’t want to wield the powers of the mighty Greek gods? Throughout the story you’ll get to fight off familiar monsters of myth in an absolutely stunning landscape, but monsters, of course, are not your only enemies.
Honestly, the title and the art immediately had me wanting to play. This game looks so gorgeous and compared to many other announced games, it’s vibrant and while there are definitely some ugly creatures, there is still a beauty to them, then there’s the environment which looks like it popped out of a painting. I’m also a huge fan of Greek mythology and I’ll play pretty much any game where it’s involved so it has that going for it, plus it’s open world so there will be a ton of exploring and side quests that I’m sure many of us will be investing hours upon hours into. It seems like it has so much to offer and I can’t wait for a real release date.
