In this open-world game, we’ll be racing through the city of Honolulu. Additionally, we’ll be able to “test [our] off-road skills on the ashy slopes of a volcano [and] master the perfect curve on the tracks,” according to the game’sofficial website. We’ll also be able to drive on the beach and adventure through “hidden paths of the luxurious rainforest.” With over 400 cars as well, Ubisoft’s racing open-world title sounds like a nitro boost to the soul.

This time, you’ll be trying to save the NUSA President in a new area called Dogtown. The game’sSteam pageteases that “your decisions impact not only the fate of the characters around you, but also yourself” when it comes to the ending.

As he explores it, he’ll “untangle the unfathomable secrets of the city’s elites and choose whether to confront predicaments with the truth or weave lies to overcome them on the journey to find [himself,]” according to theSteam page.

Starfield(Xbox Series X/S, PC)

Starfieldis the kind of game you desperately want to be good before it releases. There’s so much potential. you’re able to travel to over 1,000 planets with all manner of cities and environments to explore. There are quests to complete, hopefully with many intriguing characters to meet. You can even customize your own spaceship to your liking. It’s a sci-fi fan’s dreams come to life. I really hope it lives up to everyone’s expectations, just likeThe Elder Scrolls V: Skyrimdid in 2011. It would be a huge win for Xbox Game Studios ifStarfieldlands with players and critics.
