PS5 and PS4, January 2021: the best games of the month
In January 2021, the first games of the new year arrive on PS5 and PS4, starting with Hitman 3. The last mission of Agent 47 will close the World of Assassination trilogy, offering us an even richer, deeper and more spectacular experience than the first two chapters.
We will also see some great returns, however, such as Scott Pilgrim's Complete Edition Vs. The World: The Game, more than ten years after the game's release on PS3 and Xbox 360, as well as Ateler Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy and Super Meat Boy Forever.
More than ten years after its release on PS3 and Xbox 360, the retro-style scrolling brawler produced by Ubisoft makes its return with Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World: The Game Complete Edition. A great opportunity for the still many fans of the comic created by Bryan Lee O'Malley and the funny film based on it, who will be able to try their hand again with the stories of Scott Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers and her menacing ex-boyfriends.
Playable alone or in cooperative mode for up to four participants, the title will see us engaged in increasingly complex fights, with an absolutely non-trivial degree of challenge and a graphic style in pixel art that pays homage to the great classics of the years' 90.
Infallible Agent 47 also makes its debut on nex-gen platforms for Hitman 3 , the concluding chapter of the thrilling World of Assassination trilogy, which began in 2016 with the first season and successfully continued in a more traditional, non-episodic format. Within broad and detailed scenarios, will we be able to bring about eliminating our targets?
In addition to an extraordinary visual impact, made possible by the improvements made to the powerful graphics engine of IO Interactive, Hitman 3 also promises greater freedom of action, further multiplying the approaches to each single mission between disguises, interactions and alternative paths to get close to our victim and kill her as quietly as possible.
Last episode of the now famous Gust series, Atelier Ryza 2: Lost Legends & The Secret Fairy involves us in the new adventure of Ryza, in fact, who together with a group of friends and the mysterious creature named Fi will try this time to discover the secrets that lie behind the ancient ruins of the Royal Capital.
The events of the game, which take place three years later than the story of Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout, will see the return of the cast of the first episode but also the introduction of several new features. of the gameplay able to increase the degree of interaction with the scenarios and provide the protagonist with new opportunities to obtain resources.
Super Meat Boy Forever finally marks the return of Team Meat's hardcore action platformer, albeit in this case with a different formula than the one that has won over millions of players around the world. The developers have in fact decided to transform their title into an endless runner, substantially changing the approach to the action without giving up the challenge.
The levels of Super Meat Boy Forever therefore propose frenetic sequences in which you have to jump, hit enemies on the fly, avoid traps and execute all these moves at the right time, with absolute precision, in order to aim for the completion of the stage. A concept that turns out to be effective, but which inevitably loses something compared to the static traps of the origins.
