Godfall, as one of the first exclusives revealed for PS5, may very well be one of the most anticipated games of 2020.

Stadia is focused on cloud-based gaming and has promised 4k gaming to its users....
Gotham started with the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, and ended with Batman watching over Gotham. The show told revamped origin stories for its whole cast from Batman himself, to popular villains like Penguin, The Riddler, and Scarecrow. It started off small, with Gordon taking on the corrupt police department and the mob, escalating until the final season, in which Gotham is cut off from the US and everyone has to fend for themselves (like in Dark Knight Rises, or the comic story line No Man’s Land)....

Archers can be very powerful servants to have on your side in Fate/Grand Order. Their skills and stats tend to lean towards them being incredible damage dealers, but very much glass cannons. With the right setup, you can exploit their advantages over Sabers and even Berserkers, but you’ll need to be very careful around Lancers. Given this turn-based game has a lot of Gacha mechanics the best servants are locked behind abysmal pull rates that necessitates a lot of grinding and a lot of luck to acquire....

It now seems that these concerns may be impacting sales of the game....

Throughout the years of the current console generation, we’ve seen more and more publishers feel the need to add in multiplayer features into games that weren’t originally designed with that in mind. Although competitive multiplayer modes seem to be a ‘must’ for most shooters, we feel that many franchises and new IPs could better benefit from letting gamers play with others as opposed to against. One of the best aspects of old school arcade gaming and the early Nintendo/Sega consoles is the simple concept of couch co-op....

The developers of the Star Wars Battlefront series decided to do the same thing, which means that we have to clarify that the Star War: Battlefront II that is available to Xbox Live Gold subscribers this month is the one that was released in 2005, and is not the controversial game that was released in 2017....
