I hope you had a relaxing January because February is delivering in spades when it comes to some big RPGs, and you’ll need some sleepless nights to get through them all.
Things start big with some sword swinging in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 before you head into a fantasy land in Avowed later in the month. If you’re looking for something that’ll make you feel more like you’re on a holiday, there’s the Yakuza spin-off Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii. And if you’re thinking to yourself, “Wow, I wish there was a massive game for me to play that had some cute animals instead.” boy, I do not really have the choice for you, but maybe check out Monster Hunter Wilds.
