This Week in Games - I Have Many Regrets

We'll start with a new character for King of Fighters XV, Krohnen. He is a COMPLETELY NEW CHARACTER and LEGALLY DISTINCT from any other character that has ever existed ever. No, you haven't seen him before, why do you ask?

Lord of the Rings: Shadow of War —a much-anticipated game very much ruined by the monetization demands

Sonic 2 / Frontiers: Sonic 2 trailer looks like a of fun! Now that we got the set-up out of the way with the first movie, this one is now allowed to lean into more direct video game references and imagery. But sadly, still largely stuck in the real world instead of getting more Zones.

Biggest surprise for me though was not hearing Idris Elba's iconic accent come out of Knuckles.

Wonder Woman: I don't know which type of game this is going to be, but a WW hack and slash would be amazing. Kind of funny that WW is getting a high budget game but Superman don't.

I don't know how, but if Monolith can manage to employ the Nemesis system into a Wonder Woman game I am sold. I need the Nemesis system in every game.

Maybe Sonic Frontiers will be great but I admit I'm really skeptical about whether an open world Sonic game would be anywhere near as good as a linear Sonic game with intricately-designed discrete levels where you usually have multiple paths but not the ability to wander completely off the part of the map where your current objective is. Even Sonic Adventure 2 did away with the (by the standards of the time) "open" hub worlds of the first game because they were mostly dead space without much to do, although, yes, obviously open world game design has come a long way in 22 years.

Wonder Woman's thing, though, is that she doesn't really keep a Rogues Gallery that often, because she tends to try to "end" that kind of stuff, usually by befriending her enemies.

If anything, maybe Monolith will try to keep that aspect intact & turns the Nemesis system into a sort of a system where Wondy slowly builds up a cadre of rivals-turned-allies over the course of the game.

That would actually be kind of neat.

If ya wanna try some older Sonic games, three of them just got a much needed update boost
