Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
In its original form, Death Stranding wasn’t for everyone. The first-ever game in the so-called “Strand” genre, exploring Death Stranding’s open world and forming delivery routes and roads across a fractured America, might not have been appealing to some, especially considering combat was put on the backburner to wandering across the world with an overflowing backpack.
However, with the release of the Director’s Cut, there is no more reason than ever to give Death Stranding a try. The Director’s Cut features new content that expands on the original game, including additional story elements and gameplay features. There is also a new difficulty mode that has been specifically designed to challenge even the most hardcore of gamers.

There are tons of quests to complete, and the combat is more challenging than ever. If you’re a fan of the Assassin’s Creed series or looking for a vast open-world game to sink your teeth into, Valhalla is worth checking out.

Far Cry 6
As the latest entry in the long-running Far Cry series, Far Cry 6 does not stray too far from the formula that has made the franchise so successful. Players are still dropped into a large open world with plenty to see and do, and they are still tasked with taking down a ruthless dictator.
However, Far Cry 6 does differently double down on the series’ strengths. The game’s map is one of the most extensive and most detailed in the series, and the game’s villain, Anton Castillo, is one of the most charismatic and chilling antagonists yet.
Far Cry 6 is sure to keep players entertained for hours on end with so much to see and do.
