Resident Evil 4

Resident Evil 4 is one of the all-time greats. It lifted the Resident Evil series to new heights and launched a now familiar style of 3rd-person gameplay. The defining horror experience returns with a remake for PC and modern consoles. Capcom says the RE4 remake preserves the essence of the original game, now reconstructed to deliver realistic visuals and additional narrative depth that wasn’t possible in 2005. Further upgrades are said to include increasingly frenzied combat through new enemy attacks and a new parry system to give Leon S. Kennedy an edge while surviving the madness.

This action-packed adventure sees players take on larger-than-life creatures and enemy soldiers using swordplay inspired by Chinese martial arts. Overcome enemies through intense and bloody battles where your precision and skill will go a long way to shaping the future of the Three Kingdoms.

The Last of Us Part 1

The Last of Us Part 1 finally arrives on PC. The remake of 2013’s Game of the Year reimagines Joel, Ellie, Tess, Bill and every Clicker in order to breathe new life into this modern classic. Developer Naughty Dog has enhanced its greatest game with more realistic lighting effects, character and environmental detail that leads to intricate locations that should feel fresh even if you’ve powered through the original release a handful of times. With the success of HBO’s remarkable adaptation, there’s no better time to revisit the post-apocalyptic United States or to jump in and see what all the fuss is about.

EA promises fluid swing mechanics, innovative ball controls and lifelike course dynamics across some of the finest well-manicured real estate to grace coastlines.
