2 mei 2018 - "Sea of Thieves" is something completely new: It's a pirate-themed, open-world action-adventure game that's intended as a means of getting players together to take on pirate quests. It's essentially an open-world adventure game aimed at people who want to play out their pirate fantasies. And who doesn't want to play out their pirate fantasies?

2 mei 2018 - "Kirby Star Allies" is another fresh take on a classic franchise from Nintendo. The focus here is on co-operative play, with up to four players at a time floating around. The game otherwise features classic "Kirby" gameplay, with relatively simplistic platforming and combat that's focused on Kirby's main ability: Consuming enemies and absorbing their power, like some sort of pink necromancer.

2 mei 2018 - There've been plenty of opportunities to play the excellent first "Bayonetta" game — it first launched way back in 2009 on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's since made the jump to PC, and Wii U, and now it's coming — along with the excellent sequel, "Bayonetta 2" — to the Nintendo Switch. Better yet: Both games are a precursor to the upcoming "Bayonetta 3," which currently has no release date. The games are a throwback to the "Devil May Cry"/"Ninja Gaiden" era of action games, which focused on lightning-fast reaction and control mastery. The better you took out a bunch of bad guys, the more the game would reward you. Those systems are then surrounded by a delightfully crazy story. In the case of "Bayonetta," she's a super-tall witch with guns in her feet. Okay!

2 mei 2018 - "Monster Hunter: World" is the latest major entry in the long-running, cult-classic "Monster Hunter" series. If you're wondering what the game is about, look no further than the on-the-nose name: You hunt monsters, repeatedly, in the third-person. This is a game about exploring a massive world and taking down its massive monsters. You can do that alone, or you can do that with up to four friends, but the goal remains the same: Murder monsters, take the loot you get from those monsters, and use it to take down more monsters.
