<p>The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5">PlayStation 5</a> is just around the corner! In this video, Whatoplay presents 20 rumored and confirmed games for Sony’s next-generation console.</p>

<h2>Rumored Titles</h2>

<h2>1. Cyberpunk 2077</h2>

	<p>The game about the dark future might be coming to the PlayStation 5, but it won’t be during its launch this September 17, 2020. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cd-projekt-red/">CD Projekt Red</a> has specifically stated that it won’t be joining the line-up of next-gen titles for Sony’s latest console despite being graphically demanding.</p>

<p>However, that doesn’t mean it’s never going to get ported. There is always a possibility and CDPR is always keeping track on which next-gen platform can fully run their most anticipated RPG-shooter.</p>

<h2>2. Death Stranding</h2> 

	<p>Hideo Kojima’s latest opus already looks (and feels) like a Next-Gen title, but what’s stopping them from going even further? Norman Reedus and his funky fetus might be joining the PS5 line-up during its release, but there is no concrete evidence yet.</p> 

<p>As of the moment, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/kojima-productions/">Kojima</a>’s indie development team is still focusing on their upcoming PC port, which will introduce PC players to his strange new world.</p>

<h2>3. Ghost Of Tsushima </h2>

	<p>The <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/">PlayStation 4</a> is still getting great exclusives for the entirety of 2020. One of them includes the highly-anticipated Samurai game from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sucker-punch-productions/">SuckerPunch</a>. Of all the titles on this list, Ghost of Tsushima has a high chance to come out on the PlayStation 5’s launch considering it’s a Sony exclusive.</p> 

<p>Although it may come out after the game’s launch period, which is Summer 2020, there’s no denying that this Tenchu-like adventure will make it to their latest console.</p>

<h2>4. The Last Of Us Part 2</h2> 

	<p>It’s release date is almost upon us, but there’s no doubt <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/naughty-dog/">Naughty Dog</a>’s sequel to their hit post-apocalyptic drama is taking a bite on Sony’s PlayStation 5. Their latest technology is enough to appease the latest-gen console owner, and they might even go further with The Last Of Us 2’s rumored seamless ‘no loading’ gameplay.</p> 

<p>Of course, nothing is set in stone yet, but knowing Naughty Dog’s track record when it comes to porting games to future consoles, it’s a given.</p>

<h2>5. The Elder Scrolls 6</h2> 

	<p>It’s still a long way coming, but it’s definitely coming to the PlayStation 5 considering everything about this game is still a mystery. There are not enough details to support this yet, but it’s heavily rumored that this will make its way to the elusive PS5.</p> 

<p>Since <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/bethesda-game-studios/">Bethesda</a> is still busy working on their ambitious sci-fi RPG, Starfield, the chance for TES6 to come out to the PS5 is big.</p>

<h2>6. Grand Theft Auto 6 (Tentative Title)</h2> 

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/rockstar-north/">Rockstar</a> has always been known for their groundbreaking open-world design. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/red-dead-redemption-2/">Red Dead Redemption 2</a> was a huge success and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/gta-5/">Grand Theft Auto V</a> is still hailed as one of the best-selling games of all time. There’s no stopping Rockstar’s train when it comes to their bold decisions when crafting open-ended masterpieces.</p> 

<p>There are huge internet leaks on gaming websites regarding its new South American setting, but that’s all we know so far. However, the rest of GTA6 is still a mystery so expect a late 2021 or early 2022 release date.</p>

<h2>7. Horizon Zero Dawn 2 (Tentative Title)</h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/horizon-zero-dawn/">One of PlayStation 4’s best-selling action-adventure</a> is obviously getting a sequel. Aloy’s journey isn’t over yet, but we’re not sure where it’s headed after the original’s hopeful ending. Its recent port to the PC is a good indicator that the series is still active and a sequel is currently in the works.</p> 

<p>It will be part of PlayStation 5’s list of triple A titles, but there’s nothing definite about it yet. Leaks are a different thing, but actual confirmation from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/guerrilla-games/">developers</a> are needed.</p>

<h2>8. God Of War 2 (Tentative Title)</h2>

	<p>Now this is a no-brainer. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/sce-santa-monica-studio/">Sony Santa Monica</a> is already gearing up for Kratos’ latest journey for the PlayStation 5. Rumored to be called ‘God of War Ragnarok’, this will take place after the events of the first game and will feature even bigger Norse Gods like Thor and Odin.</p> 

<p>Unfortunately, that’s all we have right now. Nothing is concrete yet, but it would be a disservice to fans and to Santa Monica’s revolutionary technology to not join the list of PS5 games.</p>

<h2>9. Spider-Man 2 (Tentative Title)</h2> 

	<p>Peter Parker continues his web-slinging journey into this unannounced sequel. If we take into account Sony’s recent acquisition of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/insomniac-games/">Insomniac Games</a>, there’s no doubt that this sequel will make it to the PlayStation 5.</p>

<p>A few internet leaks suggest that this will push the limits of the PlayStation 5 and will add new villains to Spidey’s rogue's gallery including Green Goblin and Venom. But as always, everything is not confirmed yet, so let’s hope to hear more about this game in the coming months.</p>

<h2>10. Assassin’s Creed 2020 (Tentative Title)</h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ubisoft-montreal/">Ubisoft</a> is loving their Assassin Creed titles and we can’t blame them for that. Its staggering presentation of open-world mixed with a semi-accurate historical playground is something most gamers crave. Rumored to be called “Assassin’s Creed Kingdom”, this next journey is set during the wild Viking Age and it will complete the Mythology Trilogy.</p>

<p>Sources, namely Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, presented hints and leaks about the upcoming game. As for its PlayStation 5 release, we’re not sure yet, but it’s definitely a possibility!</p> 


<h2>Confirmed Titles</h2>

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/watch-dogs-legion/">Watch Dogs: Legion</a></h2>

	<p>Ubisoft’s disappointing sales right after <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint/">Breakpoint</a>’s abysmal reception prompted them to delay most of their big triple-A titles for next year. This means we’ll be seeing their great games for the PlayStation 5.</p>

<p>Among these titles is Watch Dogs: Legion. Begin your hacktivism adventures in futuristic London and play almost every character you meet. It was originally planned to be released this year, but the delay was the right call since it will be joining the ranks of PlayStation 5’s huge list of games.</p>

<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/gods-monsters/">Gods & Monsters</a></h2> 

	<p>Another Ubisoft title that is confirmed to come out for the PlayStation 5. Heavily inspired by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/nintendo-epd/">Nintendo</a>’s legendary <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/">Breath of the Wild</a>, this open world adventure game takes place in post-apocalyptic Ancient Greece after Titans ravaged the land.</p>

<p>It’s developed by the team behind <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/assassins-creed-odyssey/">Assassin’s Creed Odyssey</a> so expect breathtaking landscapes and interesting Greek Mythology lessons.</p>

<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">Rainbow Six Quarantine</a></h2> 

	<p>The Rainbow Six series are getting better, especially Siege’s recent success in the eSports community. It’s coming to the PlayStation 5 alongside Ubisoft’s triple-A titles.</p> 

<p>Serving as a spin-off to the popular <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-siege/">Rainbow Six: Siege</a>, this three-player co-op FPS adds a new element of gameplay to the series. Instead of facing human enemies, you and your buddies team up to quell a mysterious alien threat. Release date is unknown as of the moment.</p> 

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/godfall/">Godfall</a></h2>

	<p>One of the first games to come out for the PlayStation 5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/gearbox-software/">Gearbox</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/counterplay-games/">Counterplay Games</a>’ high fantasy ‘looter slasher’ is all about you and your buddies as you team up to prevent a major catastrophic event.</p>

<p>Select from three of its primary classes and let the grind begin. Collect powerful weapons and showcase your skills in its high impact third-person combat. No release date yet, but its trailers are insanely cool.</p>

<h2>5. <a href="">Outriders</a></h2>

	<p>Outriders is <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a>’s very own third-person shooter. It features a 1 to 3 player, drop-in-drop-out co-op shooter set in an original dark and desperate sci-fi universe. And of course, since it’s a Square Enix title, it contains deep RPG elements with four unique classes to choose from.</p> 

<p>Judging from its latest gameplay footage, it looks like a mix between <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/gears-of-war/">Gears of War</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/destiny/">Destiny</a>, which is pretty subpar so far. Considering it’s a PlayStation 5 confirmed title, let’s hope it offers more than generic shooting once the final product arrives.</p>

<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/the-lord-of-the-rings-gollum/">The Lord Of The Rings: Gollum</a></h2>

	<p>This unexpected LOTR game takes us back to Middle Earth once again. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/daedalic-entertainment/">Daedalic Entertainment</a>’s stealth-based Lord of the Rings title will center around the iconic Gollum. It takes place before the events of the novel and it will involve the river folks slow descent to madness. The ring’s corruption is only just the beginning of his journey.</p> 

<p>It’s unlike Warner Bros’ Middle Earth journey, so Daedalic might take a few liberties to the story and characters from the books.</p> 

<h2>7. Starfield</a></h2> 

	<p>Bethesda’s ambitious sci-fi RPG would be stupid not to focus their resources on the upcoming console. With the Series X and PS5’s announcement, they’re quick enough to jump on the next-gen train because of course, who wouldn’t?</p>

<p>Starfield is still in its early development stage. No gameplay and no fancy trailers are available as of the moment, but its timing is implied that they might enter PS5 territory. It’s one of the first huge games to be confirmed for PlayStation 5.</p> 

<h2>8. New Bluepoint Studios Game</h2> 

	<p>The released remastered version of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/shadow-of-the-colossus/">Shadow of the Colossus</a> gave <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/bluepoint-games/">Bluepoint Games</a> the respect it deserves. Now, they’re moving forward by making a completely new IP and it’s considered as their studios’ proudest achievement.</p> 

<p>Still untitled, this mystery game will come out for the PlayStation 5. No info yet on what the game is about, but we could be getting more updates after Sony’s PS5 reveal sometime this year.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/dying-light-2/">Dying Light 2</a></h2>

	<p>Zombie games aren’t over yet. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/techland/">Techland</a>’s sequel to their open-world zombie game takes you to another undead-infested world with only your parkour skills to rely on. It's one of the first cross-gen titles announced.</p>

<p>This first-person action-adventure is a huge upgrade to the original. Storywise, player choices will impact the course of the game. And aside from a range of gameplay upgrades, you’ll be playing as an infected anti-hero armed with powerful abilities.</p>

<h2>10. Final Fantasy VII Remake</a></h2> 

	<p>Cloud and his friends are going cross-gen as they stop Shinra from exploiting their planet’s resources.</p> 

<p>Square Enix’s beloved Final Fantasy title is already coming out to the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-vii-remake/">PlayStation 4</a>, but it doesn’t mean it won’t be jumping to Sony’s PlayStation 5 console anytime soon. It’s already a game built for next-gen builds, so it’s obvious it will make it to the upcoming console, but only at a later date.</p>




Sony's next-gen console is set to launch later this year but little is still known of its launch titles. In this video, we showcase the confirmed and rumored PS5 games based on news reports and whispers from developers.

<P>As a remake, the story will remain mostly unchanged. In these two titles, you will once again be taking up the sword against the forces of chaos.

<P>It's coming to PC, PS4, and Switch on March 10th.</P>



<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/doom-64/">DOOM 64 on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/doom-64/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/doom-64/">Switch</a></h2>

<P>Announced by Pete Hines from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/bethesda-softworks/">Bethesda Softworks</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/id-software/">id Software</a>'s Doom 64 is all about bringing one classic Nintendo title to the new generation. And, it comes in time to celebrate the franchise's 25th anniversary</P>

<P>It's not exactly packed with the usual bells and whistles. It's basically the original's vanilla version with 30 action-packed levels, which veterans will be happy to relive.</P> 

<P>If you're playing on the Switch, it's also gonna be a chance to experience it on the go. But, even on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One, it's gonna be a treat to see the game we always loved still going strong.</P> 

<P>It's set to release on March 20, 2020.</P>



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/resident-evil-3/">Resident Evil 3 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/resident-evil-3/">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/resident-evil-3/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<P>How better to celebrate the massive success of the Resident Evil 2, than with a brand new remake of an equally loved title. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/capcom/">CAPCOM</a> has been hitting the marks, and there's no hardly any doubt that they'll give this third entry to their series the same care and attention.</P> 

<P>They're about to kick the scares to high gear as we follow Jill's frantic escape from a mob of the infected. According to the developers, this is gonna be a more action-oriented title, which means that the theme of running-away is gonna follow us all throughout.</P> 

<P>While CAPCOM has stated that they took some liberties with the plot arrangements and Carlos's personality, the good news is that they're doing their best to make fan-favorite Jill the same character we used to love.</P>

<P>It's set to release on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on the third of April 2020</P>



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-vii-remake/">Final Fantasy VII Remake</a></h2>

<P>A list of remakes won't be complete without the most hotly awaited title this year. With the help of today's tech, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a> is letting us see what our beloved Final Fantasy gem would look like in the modern era. Gone are the polygons and the text dialogs, and replacing it is today's full realism, complete with voice-overs and updated active time battle system.</P> 

<P>As you probably know, it's gonna be an episodic game, with the first episode covering the events in Midgar. Its latest trailers show off Cloud's daring rescue at the Honey Bee In and an appearance from Red XIII.</P> 

<P>This PS4 exclusive has been delayed from its original March release, but the hype will follow it till its new release date on April 10th.</P>


<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/trials-of-mana/">Trials of Mana on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/trials-of-mana/">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/trials-of-mana/">Switch</a></h2>

<P>Fans of the Seiken Densetsu series, especially those in the West, have more reason to rejoice. This isn't just a remake. It's a remake of the one game in the series that just never made it to Western shores, making its debut on the PC, PS4, and Switch the game's first official English arrival.</P> 

<P>It'll be fully rebuilt into 3D and will come with a handful of improvements, especially to its once tedious battle system. The story is unchanged, but experiencing it again or for the first time with enhanced sound, visuals and combat could make it worthwhile for new and old fans alike.</P> 

<P>It's coming on April 24th, 2020.</P>



<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/metal-max-xeno-reborn/">Metal Max Xeno: Reborn on PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/metal-max-xeno-reborn/">Switch</a></h2> 

<P>The Metal Max series is also in for a massive reboot. With so many different projects going for it so far, namely, a completely new title set in the West and Code Zero, which goes back to the series' Famicom days, we're here to talk about the ground-up remake of the original Metal Max Xeno released just last 2018.</P> 

<P>That doesn't really sound like much, but it comes with a whole engine change, as well as some improvements to their game systems. For a game that was enjoyable but a little on the average, these enhancements may just make it a better experience overall. Plus, it means we'll get to spend more time with the cutest battle dog ever.</P> 

<P>It's set to release on July 9th on the PS4 and Switch.</P>



<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-crystal-chronicles-remastered-edition/">Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles - Remastered Edition on PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/final-fantasy-crystal-chronicles-remastered-edition/">Switch</a></h2> 

<P>After the decade spent making one of the biggest Final Fantasy games in recent history, Square Enix is free to take a little creative break, bringing instead their much-loved spin-off into the modern generation.</P> 

<P>Crystal Chronicles delivered an accessible new multiplayer flavor to the series. While it was a little heavy for the devices back in the days, it'll definitely fit well with the swaths of multiplayer options today.</P> 

<P>This remastered version will have an online multiplayer mode for up to four players, letting friends drop in and out of games. That plus new character skins revamped narration, and remastered music will make this classic a fresh experience for old and new fans alike.</P> 

<P>It's coming to the Switch and PS4 this Summer.</P>



<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/destroy-all-humans/">Destroy All Humans! on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/destroy-all-humans-2020/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/destroy-all-humans-2020/">Xbox One, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/destroy-all-humans/">Stadia</a></h2>

<P>The revival of the cult classic adventure game brings us back to the simple days of the 1950s where all people had to worry about was a bored alien terrorizing the streets. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/black-forest-games/">Black Forest</a>'s Destroy All Humans puts our humanity on the backseat and lets us experience the thrills of alien technology.</P> 

<P>The game was an underground hit for all its satirical humor, particularly genocide and the Cold War. With this remake, it's gonna hit the shelves, not just with a brand new makeover, but also with the polishing of its old mechanics and features. Hopefully, this means better shooting and simultaneous actions that will bring it up to this gen's standards.</P> 

<P>It's coming to the PC, PS4, and Xbox One this second quarter.</P>



<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/microsoft-flight-simulator/">Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/microsoft-flight-simulator/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<P>Flight Simulator was the throwaway reveal in <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/microsoft-game-studios/">Microsoft</a>'s E3 presentation but it was anything but forgettable.</P> 

<P>A game that had its beginnings in the 70s, Flight Simulator makes a landing in the new generation with a hangar-full of new features and improvements. Realism has always been at the heart of this title, and for this 2020 version, they're cranking the environments, scale, and physics to eleven, with 4K support to boot.</P>

<P>There's been leak recently which apparently showed off the technical beauty of the game. But for those who didn't catch it, you'll have to wait for it to come out on the PC and Xbox One sometime this year.</P>



<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/kingpin-reloaded/">Kingpin: Reloaded on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/kingpin-reloaded/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/kingpin-reloaded/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/kingpin-reloaded/">Switch</a></h2> 

<P>You can be forgiven for not knowing this game, but for many, this was one of the high points of their late 90s. With only a reveal trailer to work with, we don't really know much about this game yet. However, they did provide us with what's in store for the old title, namely, ultrawide and 4K support, rebalances, new quest systems, and mode toggles.</P> 

<P>Known for its ultraviolence, we can't wait to see all its gory details on the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch sometime this year.</P>



<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/panzer-dragoon-remake/">Panzer Dragoon: Remake on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/panzer-dragoon-remake/">Switch</a></h2>

<P>Two decades after it first stole our hearts, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/megapixel-studio/">Megapixel Studio</a> is making rail shooters cool again with this return of the SEGA Saturn's beloved Panzer Dragoon.</P> 

<P>Their trailer shows off just how beautiful the old world looks like in full HD, backed of course by its memorable soundtrack. Other than the facelift, it promises to be true to the original, with only some changes to controls to let it fit into modern-day standards.</P> 

<P>Returning your to your childhood world of dragons, wasps, and sandworms, it's set to release on the PC and Switch sometime in 2020</P>



<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/system-shock/">System Shock on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/system-shock/">PlayStation 4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/system-shock/">Xbox One</a></h2>

<P>It might've had its stint in development hell but this remake from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/night-dive-studios/">Night Dive Studios</a> has undoubtedly pulled through--very unlike the recently shelved sequel System Shock 3. But, we're focusing on the positives here, and the good news is that this renewed title has found its direction and it's looking pretty slick.</P> 

<P>Instead of too many big changes, the developers have chosen to keep faithful to the original game, polishing up the rough edges that come with age while highlighting all of its strengths. For a game that's always been groundbreaking, this remake might finally give it the spotlight (and profits it deserves.)</P> 

<P>Return to the hostile halls of this cyberpunk vision as it releases on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One this year</P>



<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/spongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated/">SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/spongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/spongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/spongebob-squarepants-battle-for-bikini-bottom-rehydrated/">Switch</a></h2> 

<P>Another cult classic game, but this time for a more well-known franchise. A part of many of our childhoods, Spongebob has been remaking himself in more ways than one. From brand new episodes and prequel shows, to this full remake from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/purple-lamp-studios/">Purple Lamp</a> of their 2003 title.</P> 

<P>As remakes go, this rehydrated version will come with a complete makeover that will smoothen Bikini Bottom's rough edges into the curves it always deserved.</P> 

<P>Plus, it's also gonna have deleted content from the original game, AND a spanking new horde multiplayer mode that lets you join forces against waves upon waves of enemies.</P> 

<P>Get SPONGEBOB ready as it comes to PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch this 2020.</P> 



<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/xiii/">XIII on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/xiii/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/xiii/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/xiii/">Switch</a></h2>

<P>With the rise of the comic book fandom, this is exactly the right time to return to this game's world of conspiracies of lost identities. Starring David Duchovny as the enigmatic Jason Fly, it condenses elements from the five volumes of the original comic book series into one complex tale packed with stealth and violence.</P> 

<P>At the time of XIII's release, it only received mixed to average reviews with critics praising its story and beautiful cel-shaded presentation while criticizing its gameplay, and its enjoyable but unbalanced shooting mechanics.</P> 

<P>Flaws notwithstanding, XIII left a strong enough impression to become a cult classic. With this remake, it hopes to revitalize the original, bringing it to modern audiences, hopefully, without all its technical shortcomings.</P> 

<P>Delayed to sometime this 2020, it's coming out on the PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.</P>

  <p>Determination is what kept this game shine. Hailed as one of our best PC Games of the last decade, this Alice in Wonderland-like adventure tobyfox takes you to the shoes of a young kid trapped in a strange underground world where monsters are either your friend or foe.</p> 

<p>It’s unconventional RPG mechanics grants you choices to either spare or kill a character, with both having an effect on the game’s ending. Supported by a lovable cast of characters and a fantastic soundtrack, Undertale is a recommended game for players who want to join the Xbox Game Pass experience.</p>

<p>A playscore of a 9.30</p>

<p>The playscore is an average of gamer and critic ratings. If a game only receives ratings from gamers BUT NOT from critics, it receives a gamerscore.</p> 

<h2>15. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/idle-army-base/">Idle Army Base</a></h2>

<p>Idleness is the enemy of the soul, but not when it's Uncle Sam who's asking.</p> 

<p>In Neon Play's Idle Army Base, you get to manage the goings of your local Army Base and your job is to get as many people into the patriotic spirit as possible. Beginning with a bus load of recruits, you'll see them every step of the way--from their first lineup for signups, to the push ups they need to bulk up.</p> 

<p>The only thing is, the game gives players a slow start. There's not enough money to improve things, and the snail's pace is pretty much like watching paint dry. If you wanna speed things up, you'll have to pay up real cash.</p> 

<p>Not really much of a good deal, it still made to the list with gamerscore of 8.80 on the iOS and 8.21 on the Android.</p>

<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/sort-it-3d/">Sort It 3D</a></h2>

<p>As we discover from shows like Netflix's Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, sorting things into their most organized forms is zen AF. This indie made title by Oz Maharshak exploits that fact. Instead of households and boxes, though, you get balls and beakers. Put them into their color-coded places and roll through their many levels.</p> 

<p>The challenge doesn't change much throughout the game, but it always has that rewarding feeling of getting things done.However, it's still a free game, and sometimes it even interrupts you once you're getting into the heat of the sorting.</p> 

<p>It receives a gamerscore of 8.80.</p>

<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/stickman-battle/">Stickman Battle</a></h2>

<p>Ragdoll physics meets stick figures once more in this ultimate battle to be the best stickfighter in the comic universe. If you thought this was gonna be like any other stick game you've seen before, you're wrong.</p> 

<p>Because other than the sticky stuff we're used to, OneSoft's Stickman Battle also comes with various super skins that will get you into the groove. Get into the high flying combat as you soar and flail about as one of their many cool characters.</p> 

<p>It's a free game though so you can't expect too much sophistication. And, as a free game, expect a lot of ads if you want those sweet upgrades.</p> 

<p>It receives a gamerscore of 8.80.</p>

<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/gi-joe-war-on-cobra/">G.I. Joe: War On Cobraon</a></h2>

<p>There's always been two sides to a story. In this latest mobile game from the GI Joe series, you get to pick which side you're gunning for--whether it's the good guys or the bad.</p> 

<p>In terms of visuals and gameplay, War on Cobra definitely knows how to impress. It might not be the most original idea, but its strategy mechanics aren't just executed well, they also deliver it with sleek, modern-looking art style that makes you feel in control of the action.</p> 

<p>Where you might not feel in control, though, is in their microtransactions. As a free game, energy and resources will run out quick and you might have to get through long waits if you don't want to cough up cash for their starter bundles.</p> 

<p>It's still good enough to get here though with a gamerscore of 8.80 on the Android and iOS.</p>

<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/tap-tap-fish-abyssrium-pole/">Tap Tap Fish - Abyssrium Pole</a></h2>

<p>Tapping games have the habit of getting a little to hectic. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/flero-games-coltd/">FLERO GAMES</a>' Abyssrium Pole, on the other hand, is determined to be the complete opposite. In it, you don't just get a tank, you get the whole place to yourself, complete with corals, fish friends, and most especially, a cheery iceberg that asks philosophical questions, wondering things like "where would all my friends go if I disappeared?" out loud.</p> 

<p>So, it's dark like that. But it all just balances out, thanks to its soothing atmosphere that draws you into its mesmerizing world. While microtransactions are the lifeblood of tapping games, this one gives you more than enough resources to enjoy to enjoy it as it is.</p> 

<p>It receives gamerscores of 8.80 on the both Android and iOS.</p>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/dream-league-soccer-2020/">Dream League Soccer 2020</a></h2>

<p>If you're ever itching for a new FREE football experience on the go, Dream League Soccer answers to all your needs with this latest installment from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/first-touch-games-ltd/">First Touch Games</a>. Get your very own team and use your skills to guide them to the championships!</p> 

<p>For true blue soccer fans, it's kinda similar to your run of the mill FIFA experience. But unlike FIFA, Dream League Soccer doesn’t have the most optimized gameplay mechanics for the mobile. Instead of touches and swipes, its keypad system is more like console counterparts that require a lot more precision than the smartphone can offer. It’s also not as pretty in the graphics department.</p> 

<p>However, for this month at least, Dream League Soccer 20 is the best in the free football experience with a gamerscore of 8.80 on the iOS and a gamerscore of 7 on the Android.</p>

<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/word-relax/">Word Relax!</a></h2>

<p>Sometimes all a day needs is a cup of coffee and a word game that pays you back. Developed by V Long Technology, Word Relax invites you to a world of vocabulary where your knowledge will get you closer to actual money.</p> 

<p>It plays pretty like any other word game out there. The only difference is that for a set number of words found, you'll find your pockets just a tiny bit heavier. Of course, to balance out the system, you may have to sit through a bunch of ads to get even close to that million dollar dream.</p> 

<p>But, if that's your thing,  Word Relax comes highly recommended. Not available worldwide, it gets a gamerscore of 8.80.</p>

<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/arknights/">Arknights</a></h2>

<p>Here to represent the Japanese RPG this month is a game from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/yostar-limited/">Yostar Limited</a>. At first glance, Arknights will win you over with the beauty of their Japanese art style, expressed in the detail of their avatars, as well as their chibi forms in battle.</p>

<p>And speaking of battle, they got loads to offer on that end too. Combining collective card game and tower defense into one, the game rewards you for the expert use of the characters they have on offer. Defend your base against the onslaught of enemies, and live to play another day.</p> 

<p>A mobile with clearly so much to offer, this is not gonna be the last we see of this game with gamerscores of 8.80 on the Android, and 8.79 on the iOS.</p>

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/epic-race-3d/">Epic Race 3D</a></h2>

<p>The smartphone games market isn’t always perfect. Sometimes, we have remarkable additions that you can’t believe is on the mobile. But sometimes we have the bare minimum. Good Job Games' Epic Race 3D is an example of the latter.</p> 

<p>Clearly inspired by the likes of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/american-ninja-warrior-challenge/">American Ninja Warrior</a>, Epic Race 3D seems to have gone away with all the things that would’ve made it fun-er. For one, actual models instead of vague color blobs. And more gameplay than speeds and stops.</p> 

<p>It’s a multiplayer game that does pit you with other people around the globe, but it’s not really much of a competition. Perhaps as you get deeper into their gamut of EPIC races, it could get pretty heated. But it’ll take you a while, and a ton of ads, to get there.</p> 

<p>It receives a gamerscore of 8.80.</p>

<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/mineblast/">Mineblast!!</a></h2>

<p>For a free game, this next title actually has some potential. Developed by Neutronized Mineblaster takes you into the underground world of gold and gemstones. Using your directional keys, dig deeper into the mines and collect as much treasures as you can using the dynamite sticks at your disposal.</p> 

<p>Even if it seems simple at first, the game will eventually challenge you to manage your resources, and plan out the places and patterns of your kabooms. And, on top that, their retro graphics are cute too.</p> 

<p>If you hold out through the ads and the premium offer, Mineblaster is pretty good with gamerscores of 8.93 on the Android and 8.14 on the iOS.</p>

<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/flick-goal/">Flick Goal!</a></h2>

<p>Football with a dash of new flavor. Gameguru's Flick Goal appeals to anyone who's ever dreamed of being the next Wayne Rooney. All you have to do is swipe in the direction of the best goal spot, and make it through each and every obstacle.</p> 

<p>You don't need exercise to be good at this game. Just draw the right lines, and rake in the rewards of collecting coins along the way. It's another one of those simple games where the only investment is the time you spend watching ads.</p> 

<p>Not yet available in all countries, you may have to check the store yourself if you want a piece of the goal-kicking action.</p> 

<p>It received a gamerscore of 9.17 on the Android and 8.80 on iOS</p>

<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/retro-bowl/">Retro Bowl</a></h2>

<p>What with the Superbowl hype still going, our next game will get you ready for the thrill of the real-life fight by giving you your very own team to manage. Instead of just one aspect of American Football, you get to make the choices for everything from stadiums, staff, and, of course, your all time roster.</p> 

<p>But, that doesn’t mean you don’t get to kick it either. In it, you’ll also have a few snippets of the action in their signature retro form. Play the quarterback with the arms of steel, dodge the onslaught of tacklers, and lineup your shots for those clutch field goals.</p> 

<p>Retro Bowl went for the minimal look, but it definitely has a lot to offer the casual American Football fan with a gamerscores of 9.36 on the Android and 8.80 on the iOS.</p>

<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/super-stick-fight-man/">Super Stick Fight Man</a></h2>

<p>Stick fighters have been around since time immemorial but this month’s third best FREE title raises the stakes to SUPER levels to stick it to the stick fight man.</p> 

<p>Developed by White Shark Studio, Super Stick Fight Man is all about arcade enjoyment. Tap right and left to bring down the hordes of enemies and clear the waves to receive power ups for the next big fight. It has a roguelike element to it too, as you battle to make it past all 30 stages or risk going to square one--arguably stronger and smarter than before.</p> 

<p>If you’re in for a fun, action-packed game that’ll give your hands a break from idleness, this one is a keeper with a gamerscore of 9.71.</p>

<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/words-luck-search-spin-and-win/">Words Luck: Search, Spin & Win</a></h2>

<p>It's one thing to get a game absolutely free, it's another to have a game throw money at you. Words Luck is not your ordinary word game. For the same brainpower needed to get through all the other word games on the market, our number two FREE title this month gives it all back one way or another.</p> 

<p>It's a game that's been described by reviewers as "addictive," and thats probably because, at its core, it's pretty much a gambling game. That means, be very careful where you put your money. If you're aware of the risks, you can probably give it a try. Unfortunately, it's not available in every part of the globe.</p> 

<p>It gets a gamerscore of 9.77.</p>

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/grand-mountain-adventure/">Grand Mountain Adventure</a></h2>

<p>The only game that got a full-fledged playscore this month. This month’s best free game didn’t just receive high marks from gamers, but from the critics too.</p> 

<p>Getting that luxury ski holiday might only be a dream for most of us, our first game this month will give us that experience for absolutely free. Sure, you won't have the chilly weather and the cute outfits, but at least it also spares your knees.</p> 

<p>Take on the rolling hills of the alps and discover challenges that's hidden underneath all that white sleet. There will be some in-app purchases within the game, but it's mostly to offer all of the goodies that come with unlocking the full experience.</p> 

<p>Developed by Toppluva AB, it gets playscores of 8.56 on the iOS and 8.44 on the Android.</p>

Top 15 FREE Android & iOS Games of January 2020 

<p>The year 2019 was a great year for gaming, both good and bad… but let’s talk about the ones that didn’t exceed our expectations. These are the games that are plagued by performance issues and greedy microtransactions and failed to deliver their ambitious promises. Whatoplay presents 10 of the most disappointing titles of 2019.</p>


<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/far-cry-new-dawn/">Far Cry: New Dawn on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/far-cry-new-dawn/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/far-cry-new-dawn/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ubisoft-montreal/">Ubisoft</a>’s track record when it comes to their Far Cry games are hit or miss. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/far-cry-5/">Far Cry 5</a> was a breath of fresh air for the series, but none could ever top <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps3/far-cry-3/">Far Cry 3</a>’s impressive story. And as far as spin-offs go, Ubisoft really sold us with its ridiculous and epic futuristic first person shooter with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-360/far-cry-3-blood-dragon/">Far Cry: Blood Dragon</a>.</p> 

<p>In New Dawn, however, it presented a ton of questionable development choices, mainly for its quality. New Dawn, like Blood Dragon, is a spin-off. The only difference is that New Dawn takes place after 5’s nuclear ending.</p> 

<p>In comparison to Blood Dragon which created a fresh retro-futuristic world, this latest spin-off doesn’t bring anything new to the table. It rehashes the same old gameplay features from Far Cry 5 without putting much effort into its mechanics.</p> 
<p>While it does have some redeeming moments such as being able to blow things up, it still doesn’t do anything different. Ubisoft could’ve done a lot more here. It received a playscore of 7.94 on the PS4, 7.49 on the PC, and 7.37 on the X1.</p>



<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/rage-2/">Rage 2 on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/rage-2/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/rage-2/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p>Open world insanity was Rage’s selling point. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/id-software/">Id Software</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/avalanche-studios/">Avalanche Studios</a>’ collaboration transformed this Mad Max-like shooter into a satisfying playground of chaos and destruction.</p>

<p>Rage 2’s gameplay loop was its best feature. It offers enough creative ways of causing enough destruction with your arsenal of powerful weaponry. The run and gun mechanics is also similar to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/doom/">DOOM</a>’s fast-paced gameplay, but underneath all its mayhem, it suffers from its dull storytelling and not to mention its major performance issues on the PC.</p> 

<p>It’s a great game but hampered by timing. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/game-skinny/">Game Skinny</a>’s John Schutt said that “Rage 2 feels like a game out of time. If it had come out in 2006, I think it would feel like a more complete game…”</p> 

<p>There’s still an ample amount of fun things to do in this first-person shooter if you could endure its slow moments. It receives a playscore of 7.55 on the PS4, 6.54 on the PC, and 6.19 on the X1.</p> 



<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/wolfenstein-youngblood/">Wolfenstein: Youngblood on the PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/wolfenstein-youngblood/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/wolfenstein-youngblood/">Xbox One</a></h2>
	
	<p>The Wolfenstein games have always been a celebration of action and adventure set in the backdrop of Hitler’s evil regime.</p> 

<p>Developed by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/machine-games/">Machine Games</a>, it’s the first of the Wolfenstein titles to feature a co-op campaign with a drop-in/drop-out system. You could grab a friend and kill Nazis together as either of the Twin Blazkowicz daughters.</p> 

<p>Youngblood excels in its first-person shooter mechanics but stumbled in its underwhelming story that doesn’t feel like a Wolfenstein game at all. Most of its concerns come from its overindulgence of co-op and its terrible inclusion of Microtransactions.</p>

<p>It fails to deliver the same quality that made Wolfenstein titles great and it receives a playscore of 7.06, 5.87 and 6.21 for the PS4, PC, and X1 respectively.</p> 

<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/shenmue-3/">Shenmue 3</a></h2> 

	<p>It took 18 years to finally get a follow-up to the popular Dreamcast classic. Now built using the Unreal Engine 4, this Kickstarter-funded project was an absolute disappointment despite its genuine homage to the original. Shenmue 3 is an anomaly in the realm of games.</p> 

<p>Diehard fans of the series who enjoyed the journey of Ryo and Shenhua from almost two decades ago will find something good here, but as a modern game coming out in 2019, it still feels like a Dreamcast title. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/techraptor/">TechRaptor</a>’s Dustin Triplett even made a remark on his review, he said, “Shenmue 3 doesn’t tarnish the memory of the series, but it doesn’t exactly move it forward either.”</p>

<p>But for a game made for fans, there’s no denying that this is a step in the right direction for the future of the series. There are flaws, but there’s still a lot of room for improvement should there be another project in the works. Its PlayStation 4 version receives a playscore of 7.19</p>



<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint/">Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint on PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/tom-clancys-ghost-recon-breakpoint/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p>Ubisoft’s latest blunder was dead on arrival when it came out last year. Breakpoint was supposed to be their revolutionary online third-person shooter that could surpass their previous games, but its shady business practice with microtransactions was their biggest mistake and it cost them a full year of losses.</p>

<p>Ghost Recon has long lost its flair after their glory days in the previous console generations. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/gamespot/">GameSpot</a>’s review said that “It's essentially every Ubisoft open-world game rolled into one, failing to excel in any one area or establish its own identity.”</p>

<p>Its confusing mix of tried and tested video game cliches doesn’t do well for the series, considering that their very own The Division is starting to make a name for itself in the third-person shooter scene. It has a playscore of 6.66 for the PS4 and 5.92 on the X1.</p>



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/crackdown-3/">Crackdown 3 on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/crackdown-3/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p>Remember this game? Well, it came out recently and no one seems to be talking about it anymore.</p> 

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/reagent-games/">Reagent Games</a>' Crackdown 3 was a follow-up to the series we no longer care about. Sure, the ever-present destructible physics remains enjoyable as hell, but the rest of its foundation falls apart for its obvious lack of innovation and outdated designs. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/critics/pcgamer/">PC Gamer</a> did a review on the game and wrote, “Crackdown 3 comes along 12 years after Crackdown but without 12 years' worth of new ideas to share"</p>

<p>The only thing worth remembering in this latest entry is Terry Crews’ character but even his voice acting wasn’t enough to carry this underwhelming title. Might as well play <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/gta-5/">Grand Theft Auto V</a> or <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/just-cause-2/">Just Cause</a> instead. It has a playscore of 6.19 for the PC and 6.46 on the X1.</p> 



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/jump-force/">Jump Force on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/jump-force/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/jump-force/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p>It’s hard to take this fighting game seriously when you have an entire catalog of other great titles on the genre with better and bigger communities. Jump Force is a crossover of various Shonen characters such as Naruto, Luffy, Goku and a whole lot of anime characters in a story-driven scenario. It features an extensive roster of 52 playable characters, including the DLCs.</p> 

<p>Fanfictions aside, it gives us enough ideas for some fantasy battles we never knew were possible. Other than that, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/spike-chunsoft/">Spike</a>'s Jump Force has nothing new to showcase in the demanding fighting game genre.</p> 

<p>Most of its concerns come from its unfinished story, terrible combo mechanics, and its unjustified Triple-A price tag. It has a playscore of 6.85 on the PS4, 6.28 on the PC, and 5.92 on the X1.</p> 



<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/anthem/">Anthem on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/anthem/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/anthem/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p>Did you know this game came out in 2019? It’s sad to see a great studio fall from EA’s greedy corporate hands.</p> 

<p>Anthem was ambitious. It presents a massive open world to explore teeming with extraterrestrial threats. Its first E3 presentation blew our minds. Donning the exosuit and hanging out with your buddies while you decimate a horde of aliens is the main idea, but its final product left players with an empty experience full of grinding, repetitive gameplay, and a shallow story not on par with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/bioware/">Bioware</a>’s standards. At least the flying looks smooth.</p> 

<p>It was so lackluster it received mixed and average reviews from various gaming sources. Reviewer Kallie Plagge from GameSpot said that "Anthem has good ideas but it struggles significantly with the execution.”</p> 

<p>The player base has drastically dropped since its release and only a handful of players are having fun in this futuristic playground. Let’s hope they redeem themselves in the coming months with better expansions and events. A playscore of 6.47 on the PS4, 6.14 on the PC, and 6.19 on the X1.</p> 



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/left-alive/">Left Alive on PlayStation 4</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/left-alive/">PC</a></h2>

	<p>It’s rare to see a bad a <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a> game. When it was announced, it was a mix of stealth and mecha genre. It even features art from the legendary Yoji Shinkawa that brought the Metal Gear Series to come to life. Fans looked forward to this supposed return to the Front Mission universe headed by veterans of Armored Core and Metal Gear.</p> 

<p>But its promise falls short the moment you play the game. All we got was a mecha action game that had nothing to show for except its clunky combat and unreliable AI. It looks passable visually, but it plays like a 2008 PlayStation 3 game.</p> 

<p>There were other great games that came out last year but this survival-shooter was literally being ‘left alive’ in the dumps. There were hopes of changes, but they're all but dashed at this point. It has a playscore of 5.09 on the PS4 and 3.61 on the PC.</p> 



<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/wwe-2k20/">WWE 2K20 on PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/wwe-2k20/">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/wwe-2k20/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p>Disappointing is such an understatement. What WWE 2K20 did was an insult to the fans of the long-running wrestling series. Just slap in popular wrestling icons as its cover and add a new Showcase mode, you’ll have another 2K game in a span of 1 year.</p> 

<p>What made this game truly abysmal was its decrease in quality over previous titles and that’s saying a lot. I mean, what happened here? Every character model feels like they came out of the PlayStation 2 attic.</p> 

<p>2K20 was the buggiest and the messiest game of the franchise. It had a number of baffling design choices that delaying would’ve been a better option, but of course, they chose not to. It has a playscore of 5.07 on the PS4, 4.36 on the PC, and 4.85 on the X1.</p> 

<p>We've had our fair share of disappointing games so far, so to end on a positive note, drop by our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/best?sort-by=play_score">list of all the best video games.</a></p>


We ranked the most disappointing games from last year. These are titles that seemed to have the most potential but ultimately failed in the execution.

<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/zombie-army-4-dead-war/">Zombie Army 4: Dead War on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/zombie-army-4-dead-war/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/zombie-army-4-dead-war/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

<p>Zombie games aren’t over just yet. In fact, they’re becoming weirder by the day. Travel back to Europe in 1946 and face the undead hordes of zombie Hitler’s zombie army. Yes, you heard that right.</p> 

<p>Team up with your friends in this insane campaign packed with epic weapons, skills, and a handful of upgrades. It’s the kind of game where it is absolutely fun with friends. Nothing beats the satisfaction of taking down an army of living corpses using the power of friendship… and a massive tank. It’s coming this February 4 for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.</p> 



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps/">Ori And The Will Of The Wisps on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/ori-and-the-will-of-the-wisps/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/moon-studios-gmbh/">Moon Studios</a>’ beloved Metroidvania is back for another emotional adventure ready to tug our heartstrings. In Will of the Wisps, Ori’s journey takes him out from its original magical forest and into uncharted territories in the world beyond.</p>  

<p>From what we've seen from all their E3 presentations, it still feels like the same majestic, and challenging platformer. Now, with more nimble movements and a host of new enemies, all of which we’ll see on March 11 as a Microsoft exclusive.</p> 



<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nioh-2/">NiOh 2</a></h2>

	<p>2020 is turning out to be a year of Samurai games with <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/ghost-of-tsushima/">Ghost of Tsushima</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/team-ninja/">Team Ninja</a>’s ‘<a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/nioh/">Nioh</a>’. Like Half-Life Alyx, Nioh 2 is going to be a prequel with a standalone story. Play a customized character that’s part human, part yokai and venture around the new Dark Realms with great Japanese warlords like Hideyoshi.</p> 

<p>It’s still essentially a single-player experience. However, the improved multiplayer which allows up to three players will definitely make the Yokai battles that much easier. A PlayStation 4 Exclusive, it’s set to release this May 13, 2020.</p> 



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/doom-eternal/">Doom Eternal on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/doom-eternal/">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/doom-eternal/">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/doom-eternal/">Stadia</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/doom-eternal/">Switch</a></h2>

	<p>The year 2151 has not been very kind to Planet Earth. Pandemonium is just a regular Tuesday for the legendary Doomguy.</p> 

<p>Eternal is a follow-up to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/id-software/">id Software</a>’s fresh reboot of the action-packed franchise. Just like their previous entries, the titular badass returns to the fray but now he’s armed to the teeth with an arsenal of powerful weapons. Moving from point A to point B now feels more fleshed out with a handful of movement upgrades. It’s basically just a walk in the park for Doomguy and every Demon’s worst nightmare.</p> 

<p>Coming this 20th of March for the PC, PS4, Xbox One, Goggle Stadia, and the Nintendo Switch.</p> 



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/half-life-alyx/">Half-Life: Alyx</a></h2> 

	<p>I guess it’s time to let go of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/valve/">Valve</a>’s elusive Half-Life 3. Although it acts as a prequel, it still, this brand new Half-Life experience could pass as a pseudo-sequel. Meet new and familiar faces in this Virtual Reality sci-fi spectacle.</p> 

<p>Unlike their old titles, this is Valve’s most ambitious work to date, considering they’re no longer making enough games lately. As a VR entry, things might not go the way it should, but given Valve’s track record, this whole new story might be something huge for gamers. Coming sometime this March 2020 as a PC Exclusive.</p> 



<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/mount-and-blade-ii-bannerlord/">Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord</a></h2>

	<p>The age old question finally gets an answer. Bannerlord when? <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/taleworlds-entertainment/">TaleWorlds Entertainment</a> finally brought something more concrete for all of us to hold on to.</p> 

<p>Step inside a beautiful Calradia and battle it out using its smooth physics and improved UI. wWith four planned multiplayer modes--including a siege mode; a duel mode; and, a Captains mode that lets you man AI armies as well as your own character--there's enough to distract you from the real world.</p> 

<p>We know about their campaigns, factions, siege defenses, and putting our hands on it may either be wonder, or disappointment. Coming out sometime this March 2020.</p>


<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/wasteland-3/">Wasteland 3 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/wasteland-3/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/wasteland-3/">Xbox One</a></h2> 

	<p>The icy hell of post-apocalyptic Colorado isn’t as friendly as it was before in this much-awaited installment by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/inxile/">InXile Entertainment</a> to the Wasteland series. Coming a long way since 1998, this fan-funded project wasn’t an easy task. The party-based RPG is stepping up their game with asynchronous multiplayer, solid single-player experience and strategic turn-based gameplay.</p> 

<p>That means whether you want a friend, or not, you still get to taste the horrors and atmosphere of this frozen wasteland. The game is slated for a March 2020 release.</p>


<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/the-last-of-us-2/">The Last Of Us II</a></h2> 

	<p>The adventures of Ellie and Joel continue in this major follow-up to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/naughty-dog/">Naughty Dog</a>’s post-apocalyptic masterpiece. This time around, a mature and hardened Ellie takes center stage.</p> 

<p>Survival remains essential in this sequel as Ellie has a wide variety of tools and weapons to fend off the ghastly Clickers and some unwelcome human presence. Compared to the first game’s controls, Ellie has more verticality and can finally jump. As for Joel’s character, not much was shown as of the moment, except for his now grizzled face.</p> 

	<p>Coming this 29th of May as a PlayStation 4 Exclusive.</p>


<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/halo-infinite/">Halo Infinite on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/halo-infinite/">Xbox One</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/halo-infinite/">Series X</a></h2> 

	<p>Microsoft’s biggest title coming out this year remains quite a mystery as of yet. However, with the upcoming Xbox Series X, there’s a possibility that Master Chief’s latest journey might be a launch title.</p> 

<p>In terms of story and gameplay, there's none of that so far. The only thing we know for sure is the return of Master Chief. It's currently slated for a Holiday 2020 release window.</p> 



<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/senuas-saga-hellblade-ii/">Senua’s Saga: Hellblade II on the PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/senuas-saga-hellblade-ii/">Series X</a></h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/ninja-theory/">Ninja Theory</a>’s nordic action-adventure game gets a sequel too. Hellblade. Taking place right after the events of the first game, we now see a vengeful Senua ready to raze hell.</p> 

<p>There’s not a lot of info available yet, so we have no idea what the story and gameplay is all about. All we know is that Senua is out for blood. Coming this Holiday 2020 for the PC and Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox Series X.</p>


<h2>11. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/dying-light-2/">Dying Light 2 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/dying-light-2/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/dying-light-2/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/techland/">Techland</a> may have forgotten their <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/dead-island/">Dead Island</a> games, but they sure know how to keep Dying Light shine. This sequel promises to improve their signature parkour mechanics, which makes for a better traversal experience in its desolate city.</p> 

<p>Storywise, player choices will impact the course of the game and aside from a range of gameplay upgrades, you’ll be playing as an infected anti-hero armed with supernatural abilities. It comes out this 2020 on the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.</p> 



<h2>12. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/watch-dogs-legion/">Watch Dogs: Legion on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/watch-dogs-legion/">PlayStation 4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/watch-dogs-legion/">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/watch-dogs-legion/">PlayStation 5</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/watch-dogs-legion/">Stadia</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/watch-dogs-legion/">Series X</a></h2>

<p>It’s coming sometime this 2020 for the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, Stadia, and the Series X.</p>


<h2>13. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/yakuza-like-a-dragon/">Yakuza: Like A Dragon</a></h2>

	<p>The long-rumored Yakuza title has a name and it’s Demo is currently out in the wilds for you to test out. The eighth mainline entry of the famed Yakuza series, this title is set in the near future and it’s considered as a soft reboot of the series.</p> 

<p>It features new characters and a new protagonist far from the likes of Kazuma Kiryu. The gameplay is also shifting to the classic turn-based combat aside from the real-time brawler which is a huge surprise. So far, there are not many details as of the moment. Coming sometime this 2020 as a PlayStation exclusive.</p>


<h2>14. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/desperados-iii/">Desperados III on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/desperados-iii/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/desperados-iii/">Xbox One</a></h2>

	<p>The horrifying puzzle-platformer from <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/tarsier-studios/">Tarsier Studios</a>’ return. However, there is little information we know about the game so far aside from its reveal trailer. One thing’s for sure, we know that Six, the iconic girl with the yellow raincoat, makes a return but she no longer remains playable.</p> 

<p>The game’s main character centers around Mono, which was a protagonist from the previous title. This sequel will further explore the harrowing atmosphere of The Maw and what lies beyond this demented dimension. Coming this 2020 for the PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Switch.</p>


<h2>16. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2/">Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2/">PS4</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2/">Xbox One</a></h2>

Developed by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/hardsuit-labs/">Hardsuit Labs</a>, This is a follow up to the 2004 cult classic which dates back from the tabletop games of White Wolf publishing</p>,

<p>Whoever you are, where you're from, and whatever you choose remains a massive part of Vampire's gameplay. Coming out this March 2020 for the PC, PlayStation 4 and X1.</p> 


<h2>17. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/sons-of-the-forest/">Sons Of The Forest</a></h2>

	<p>This unexpected sequel from the terrifying survival game, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-forest/">The Forest</a>, will continue with its demon-hunting mission. Revealed during last year’s Game Awards, it’s too early to tell what the game is all about. However, others speculate it will put more emphasis on its story and narrative.</p> 

<p>No release date as of the moment, but judging from the trailer, it’s still scary as hell. Coming to the PC sometime this 2020.</p> 


<h2>18. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/the-settlers/">The Settlers</a></h2>

	<p>It’s been a decade since their last major entry, this modern follow-up  is in the hands of their original studio <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/blue-byte-gmbh/">Blue Byte</a>. Which is good news.</p> 

<p>With the goal of creating a familiar Settlers title while being up to par with today's standards, it's gonna be a nostalgic treat for long time fans. No details yet, sadly</p>. 

<p>Build, explore, and conquer anew once it releases sometime this year.</p>


<h2>19. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Quarantine on PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">PS4, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps5/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">PS5</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-series-x/tom-clancys-rainbow-six-quarantine/">Series X</a></h2>
 
	<p>It’s no surprise the Rainbow Six series operates under the same universe. Moving on from their usual door breaching and cover operations, this Rainbow Six title enters horror territory.</p> 

<p>Serving as a spin-off to the popular Rainbow Six: Siege, this three-player co-op FPS adds a new element of gameplay to the series. Instead of facing against human enemies, you and your buddies team up to quell a mysterious alien threat. As of now, it still remains a mystery and everything else about the game.</p> 

<p>Coming this 2020.</p>


<h2>20. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/hollow-knight-silksong/">Hollow Knight: Silksong on PC</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/hollow-knight-silksong/">Switch</a></h2>

<h2>10. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/nba-2k-mobile-basketball/">NBA 2K Mobile Basketball</a></h2>

<p>With releases scheduled almost every year and not enough changes to make, sports games usually make up for minimal improvements by inching closer and closer to realism. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/2k-games/">2K</a>'s venture into mobile basketball was a productive one, bringing the awe of their high-grade visuals to our smartphones.</p> 

<p>But, they didn't stop there. To add to the 2K's signature graphics, there are also over 400 different NBA player cards to collect, including today's current rosters, as well as the certified classics. If you're looking for a more personalized experience, you also get to create and customize your very own player and use their skills in the court.</p> 

<p>Released back in 2018, today's stock of smartphones might have no problem running this lush sports game. Still, two years on, NBA 2K Mobile Basketball still feels like one of the best basketball games on the platform and it gets a playscore of 7.87</p>



<h2>9. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/perfect-world-mobile/">Perfect World Mobile</a></h2>

<p>We've probably all heard of Perfect World, one of the most popular MMOs of its time with a legacy that lasted 12 years. Recently, it made its comeback with a sparkly new edition made especially for the mobile. Perfect World Mobile offers a seamless world-spanning etherblade to the city of the moon. As an MMO with fantasy settings, it doesn't hold back on visual beauty, putting detail into their characters, classes, and monsters.</p>

 <p>It's not just the nostalgia factor that reels people in. It actually feels fresh, even among today's crop of MMORPGs. Gather round your friends, set everything on high, and become captivated by the beauty and fun that their world can offer.</p> 

<p>Showing itself worthy of a long-standing legacy, Perfect World Mobile remains a top-notch title with a playscore of 7.91</p>



<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/hero-hunters/">Hero Hunters</a></h2>

<p>If anyone's on the lookout for console-like titles on the mobile, then this might be worth a shot. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/hothead-games/">Hothead Games</a> shows off their flair with the jaw-dropping graphics of their RPG Shooter hybrid.</p> 

<p>Anchoring on cover-based shooting action, their campaign follows a heated war against the army of Kurtz. Set in beautifully dilapidated cities and populated by a gorgeously rendered cast of characters--Hero Hunters has all it takes to be an RPG classic.</p> 

<p>While the graphics are impressive, Hero Hunters is a bundle of adrenaline-pumping joy, too. The game doesn't allow you to waste time looking at the landscape. Their real-time PvP battles and co-op boss raids--all jampacked with fun shooting and explosions--will keep you coming back for more, even after the graphics have grown old.</p> 

<p>Hero Hunters will be a mainstay on the mobile hemisphere for a while longer, getting a playscore of 8.21</p>



<h2>7. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/finalfantasy-xv-pocket-edition/">FINALFANTASY XV POCKET EDITION</a></h2>

<p>Ok so we know about <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/square-enix/">Square Enix</a>'s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/final-fantasy-xv/">Final Fantasy XV</a>, which took almost a decade to create in its entirety and is one of the beautiful open-world environments of its time. But, since the smartphones just aren't quite ready for that yet, we get at least a fraction of that experience with the gang in chibified form.</p> 

<p>Pocket Edition is a freemium experience which means you get a taste of the Final Fantasy magic with one free chapter. Hopefully, it gets you ready to take on the perils of Noctis' quest. It might be a distilled RPG experience compared to the massive console original, and its graphics may be a bit of a downgrade. But, we'd be lying if we said it doesn't look good.</p> 

<p>It's a stylized rendition of a great game, earning itself a playscore of 8.28</p>



<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/pubg-mobile/">PUBG Mobile</a></h2>

<p>We may have had a laugh about the bugs and glitches of this breakthrough Battle Royale game on the PC, but it did seem to find its home when it released on the mobile. With PUBG Mobile, you get to experience the full thrills of the 1vs100 battlefield wherever you go. But aside from getting the solo chicken dinner, PUBG also has squad play to let you share the experience with your friends.</p> 

<p>For a mobile game, it's a pretty smooth experience as it adjusts to your phone's capabilities to bring optimal performance every time. So though it might not run your phone down with its graphics, it is quite an experience to have a full PC game on a portable format.</p> 

<p>PUBG Mobile gets a playscore of 8.34</p>



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/asphalt-9-legends/">Asphalt 9: Legends - 2018’s New Arcade Racing Game</a></h2>

<p>Now we're moving into the big boys of the graphics department. Much like sports games, if there's one other genre that does graphics well, it's racing. On the mobile, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/gameloft/">Gameloft</a> is one of the best. Now on its 9th installment, Asphalt feels like their longest-running series and in this entry, they're taking it to the next level.</p> 

<p>Legends features a roster of the top quality hypercars for you to drive such as Ferrari, Porsche, Lambo, and W motors. Feel free to pick the dream car you want to have and race across spectacular locations. Sure, you might still get annoyed by its flurry of microtransactions, but that’s part of the Gameloft package.</p>

<p>But no matter how you cut it, Asphalt 9 is one great looking game and it's an adrenaline-packed experience too. It has a playscore of 8.44</p>



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/grid-autosport/">GRID Autosport</a></h2>

<p>The old racing saints have come marching in. Five years after their release on the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/grid-autosport/">PC</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/codemasters/">Codemaster</a>'s 2014 racing game swooped in at the the tail end of last year to show the mobile just what they're missing. It may have had its faults but Grid Autosport was once described as the generation's best racers. With this Android transition by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/feral-interactive/">Feral Interactive</a>, it's definitely still got it.</p> 

<p>Grid Autosport offers console-quality racing on the go, with smooth, customizable controls, and content spanning hundreds of cars and circuits, game modes, plus all of the game's DLCs in one convenient package. It might come at a heavy price of 4 gigabytes but that's crumbs compared to all its awesome Triple-A content.</p> 

<p>A breath of new life for a bygone generation title, it has a playscore of 8.5</p>



<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/rush-rally-3/">Rush Rally 3</a></h2>

<p>The third installment to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/brownmonster/">Brownmonster</a>'s racing series, Rush Rally 3 markets itself as one of the realistic rally simulations out there. And that doesn't just mean the graphics department. Rally racing is one of the most demanding sports in the racing genre, and capturing the intensity of the track is what Rush Rally is here for.</p> 

<p>It's not quite a console-quality game that GRID Autosport is, but what makes Rush Rally 3 a great addition to the Android roster is its perfectly balanced mechanics. With this installment of the Rush Rally series, they tinker with optimized controls to deliver that balance of stress and excitement that Rally Racing offers. For less than five bucks, you get 72 stages, and 72 cars, plus a few more game modes to try out.</p>

<p>Sure, it’s not the best when it comes to visuals. But it’s close to the most stylish Rally Racer and it gets a playscore of 8.54.</p>



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/call-of-duty-mobile/">Call of Duty: Mobile</a></h2>

<p><a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/tencent-games/">Tencent Games</a> made quite a splash in the world of mobile gaming when they announced a new venture for their acclaimed first-person shooter series. By now, Call of Duty is a name that speaks for itself and seeing it for the first time on the portable platform is nothing short of a treat.</p>

 <p>Call of Duty: Mobile isn't exactly the same as its console counterparts. The graphics especially, with its slightly cartoony style, aren't close to what you'd expect on the PS4 and Xbox One. But, what it does though is bringing their brand of heavy-duty shooting on the go. On top of that, it even added a 100-player battle royale mode to cover all the action you might want.</p> 

<p>While it did run into some bumps early in its release, it ultimately won the battle with more 35 million downloads in its first week alone.</p> 

<p>It has a playscore of 8.6</p>


<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/grimvalor/">Grimvalor</a></h2>

<p>Grimvalor isn't what you'd expect to win in the battle for high graphics games on the Android. As a game set in dark, underground caverns, it doesn't show off realism. It's beautiful nonetheless.</p> 

<p>Within its limited, mobile format, it offers visually stunning environments and a bestiary of cool monsters to take down with its exhilarating combat. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/direlight/">Direlight</a>'s Grimvalor is considered by many as the mobile counterpart to <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/fromsoftware/">FromSoftware</a>'s <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps3/dark-souls/">Dark Souls</a> series.</p> 

<p>There's dark settings, grisly creatures, and most especially, there's brutal combat that will challenge even the best adventurers. Winning spots in Top 10 lists for both iOS and Android, Grimvalor has definitely earned its reputation as a gold standard in a portable hack and slash action.</p> 

<p>It has a playscore of 8.86</p>
