Many great games (and some not so great) have appeared across all the systems this year, some launched with public frenzy or huge media campaigns (I'm not sure if anyone is unaware of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's release).
However some games don't have their own hype machine, and for every Uncharted there's an El Shaddai.
Here are 11 games you may have missed this year and should look out for if you need something in between those killer Skyrim or MW sessions. They might not be AAA but they are quality titles.
El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is an action game by Ignition Tokyo and UTV Ignition Games for PS3 and Xbox 360, later released on Switch.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Presenting El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron to a new audience and preserving it for future generations is a great thing, especially considering its cult status. Whether that audience will enjoy it is another matter entirely. Due to its cryptic storytelling, repetitive combat, and clumsy platforming, it doesn't quite escape the orbit of mediocrity. Still, there's a lot to admire, including exciting boss battles, impressive production design, and powerful music. If nothing else, it's an ambitious game with a singular vision. And that's something to celebrate."
Its a pretty cool game. i have the 360 version but Id buy the switch to play on the go.
"The Tokyo-based (Japan) indie games developer crim Co., Ltd., today announced with gret joy and thrill that their unique third-person action adventure "El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron HD Remaster", is now available for the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Eshop." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
There's no doubt that "El Shaddai" is a game that was both underrated and overlooked by many gamer's, when in fact the game is quite literally a masterpiece in it's own right!
finally finished infamous 2 last weekend.
SOLID GAME, really enjoyable
true, alice wasnt perfect but for what it lacked in perfection, it excelled in art style, combat and just plain old good platforming fun :D
El Shaddai is truly a beautiful game that should have gotten more attention by gamers.
