Given EA's checkered history, there was some concern that a 'modernised' version of the game would bring about unwanted changes, similar to what happened with Dead Space 3.

The Day Before has garnered a lot of hype over the past year, going on to become the most wishlisted game on Steam and earning spots in big public keynotes, including Nvidia's recent GeForce Special Event at CES.

A few years ago, Nintendo took some bold risks with the Fire Emblem franchise, adding new Persona-style social elements to the game and expanding the story to include three paths and a huge cast of likeable supporting characters. Now just a few years later, Fire Emblem is back in the spotlight, this time with Fire Emblem Engage. Unfortunately, this time around, the development team has shied away from the elements that helped Three Houses stand out so much.

In 2022 we saw Sony wholly revamp its PlayStation Plus subscription service, replacing the previous model in favour of a three tiered structure: PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra and Premium.

The Last of Us is one of the best games of all time in the eyes of many, with the 2013 stealth-action-adventure title receiving universal acclaim following its release almost a decade ago.
