<p><em>Dec 07, 2023</em></p>

<p>We start off this list with the biggest Xbox game to come out this year. Bethesda’s talents for role-playing games take us into the far reaches of space. From what we’ve seen so far, it’s more than just Space Skyrim. It’s a huge game, but it comes with compromises. All that detail across its boundless worlds can dampen performance. As a result, the devs locked it at a solid 30fps. It maintains stability in performance, but a lot of people aren’t happy with it. A few Xbox users have concerns about this major change. Thinking it’s not ideal for a modern-gen game to limit at 30fps. Comment below if you think limiting Starfield at 30fps is a good idea. </p>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/seasun-games-pte-ltd/">Seasun Games</a> also promised that Dawnlands would not become a gacha game to access power-ups and rare materials.</p>

<p><q>For some players, the pay-to-win model is not an enjoyable gaming experience. However, when experiencing Dawnlands, there is no need to worry about such issues,</q> they said.</p>

<p><q>In this unfamiliar world, players will begin their adventures with very limited tools,</q> developers described.</p>

<p><q>You will need to collect and gather hundreds of resources and building schematics to complete the base and home of your dreams,</q> they added.</p>

Dawnlands, A New Open-World Survival Craft, Launches Another Beta Test

<p>On June 15, 2023, developer <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sloclap/" title="Sloclap">Sloclap</a> released the Arenas Expansion for <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/sifu/" title="Sifu for Nintendo Switch">Sifu on Switch</a>, bringing the game's acclaimed free mode to all versions. Players on Switch can now enjoy the same experience as players on other platforms.</p>

<p>Following its debut on consoles and PC in March, the exhilarating Arenas Mode is now available for Switch players. Check out the Switch launch trailer:</p> 

<div class="video-responsive"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bFawKEtOsR8" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
 
<p>Sifu's latest expansion includes 45 new challenges spread across nine locations. Five competitive modes, including survival and time attack, have added over 10 hours of more gameplay to the already challenging title.</p>

<p>The update also includes 28 cheats, six new outfits, quality-of-life improvements, and more. The changes make Sifu more accessible to all players while challenging those wanting to master it.</p>

<p>Sifu is a Kung Fu action game set in a fictional Chinese city. Players take control of a young Pak Mei Kung Fu master who is seeking revenge for the murder of their master.</p> 

<p>The game features a unique aging mechanic that sees the player's character grow older each time they die. This adds an extra layer of challenge to the game, as players must learn to adapt their playstyle as they age.</p> 

<p>Sifu made its debut on the Nintendo Switch in November 2022. According to a review by Stuart Mclean on <a href="https://www.dualshockers.com/sifu-nintendo-switch-review/">Dual Shockers</a>, the Switch version of Sifu is a decent adaptation of the game. However, it does exhibit some visual downgrades and excessive use of vibration features.</p> 

<p>With the addition of the latest expansion, players can enjoy the exhilarating Pak Mei Kung Fu while playing on the move.</p>

The demo is available as part of Steam Next Fest, Valve's week-long celebration of upcoming games.</p>

The event is a great way to discover new games and get a taste of what's to come.</p>

<p>Cactus Production unveiled the development for An Everyday Story in December 2022. The game's main story revolves around an unnamed Italian-American man who takes a trip down memory lane.</p>

<p>The protagonist has lost his memories. But he had clung on to three different toys in an attempt to retrieve them.</p>

<p>The players will then take control of these toys as they help the man revive the bonds he shares with his loved ones. They become a tin soldier, a bat origami, and a wood shop. Each toy has its own abilities and weaknesses and can interact with the environment differently, as the developers described.</p>

<p>Along the way, players will find themselves reflecting on life itself.</p>

<div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-104"> </div>

<p><q>The main theme of the game is the melancholy of life, needings and wishes, forgiveness, memories, nostalgia, and family,</q> said Cactus Production. <q>The game features a variety of locations and scenarios, from realistic to fantastic, that reflect the man's emotions and experiences,</q> they added.</p>

<p>An Everyday Story will be released for PC via Steam this year.</p>

<p>The game has already earned several recognitions, including the <a href="https://www.bigindiepitch.com/games-showcase-2020/">Big Indie Pitch 2020</a> bronze award. It was also named semi-finalist at the Xsolla XDC Contest for LATAM developers. </p>

The Indie platformer demo lets players ponder life's big questions.

An Everyday Story Demo Available for Free Until June 26

<p>The boxed edition of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/41-hours/" title="41 Hours for PC">41 Hours</a>, the sci-fi-themed <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/shooting/" title="Best PC Shooters">shooter game</a>, is getting a new release date. Funbox Media announced they would start distributing copies of 41 Hours this July. However, only PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners can avail of them at the moment.</p> 

<p>The physical editions of the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/best/first-person-shooter/" title="Best PC FPS games">FPS</a> title will be first shipped to retailers in North America. Players can buy it beginning on July 25. It will then be available to other regions this July 28. Funbox added that these included Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America, and the Middle East.</p>

<div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-104"> </div>

<p>Hard copies of 41 Hours were initially to be released last February. The reason for the delay remained unknown.</p>

<p>41 Hours is a 20-hour-long sci-fi game where Ethan, a scientist searching for his missing wife, gains superhuman abilities and battles robots and zombies using telekinesis and time manipulation. Developers described him as a scientist bent on working around the time-space continuum. His job also allowed him to travel across parallel universes.</p>

<div class="video-responsive">
    <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NqXUgIceVhE" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>

<p>The game's story propels players on a quest to find Ethan's wife and find answers to her mysterious disappearance. They will have to search for her in different dimensions and on different planets. At the same time, players must defend themselves from alien forces, hostile robots, and even zombies.</p>

<p>Classic sci-fi films inspire the game, which offers a gripping story with surprising twists. Some Steam users positively reviewed 41 Hours for engaging narrative, gameplay, and visuals.</p>

<div id="ezoic-pub-ad-placeholder-104"> </div>

<p>41 Hours first came out for PC devices in 2021. However, its initial release received a lukewarm reception. A year later, developers ported it to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/41-hours/" title="41 Hours for PlayStation 5">PS5</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/41-hours/" title="41 Hours for Series X">Series X</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/41-hours/" title="41 Hours for PlayStation 4">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/41-hours/" title="41 Hours for Xbox One">Xbox One</a>. But, like its PC launch, the game drew mixed reviews.</p>

<p>Paul Renshaw, reviewing for the <a href="https://www.thexboxhub.com/41-hours-review/">TheXboxHub</a>, gave it a rating of 1.5 out of 5. In a blog published in October 2022, he said 41 Hours failed to live up to its hype and vision. He noted the game's ambition of fusing sci-fi elements into FPS gameplay but found it underwhelming.</p>

<p><q>It does feel that somewhere in here is a good game trying to get out, but it is going to need a lot more work and a much higher budget to realize that potential,</q> portions of Renshaw's review read. </p>
