The biggest new games out this week: September 5th-11th

4.9
This week is all about second chances. That’s because we’re getting two sequels to first entries that didn’t live up to their expectations. First, there’s the PS4-exclusive Knack II, the follow-up to the much-lambasted family-friendly platformer that arrived alongside the console just shy of four years ago. Second, and much bigger, is Destiny 2, Bungie’s big-budget mulligan. Destiny managed to deliver an imaginative sci-fi setting and excellent gunplay, and then struggled for its entire run to find some sort of real identity for it, cobbling together a better experience out of DLC and expansions without ever truly coming into its own. All early indications are that Destiny 2 is in a much better place, but exactly how much better we won’t know for a few days now.

-Silky Destiny 2 is definetly the biggest on that list - can't wait to give it a proper try.
Also, "ISIS Simulator" - urm.


Here is the description on Steam of the game

"You are soldier, enemy are ISIS. Soldier is good, ISIS is bad. ISIS are terrorist, soldier kill terrorist. Soldier goal is find and kill all ISIS terrorist then escape. There are many ISIS for soldier to kill and a lot of fun for player to play ISIS Simulator. Good luck!"

I'm lost for words. Also, I feel like im on a list now because I googled that...


Weird title to match the description - suprised Steam allowed such a title.

EchoPosted:

Some nice DLC's out this week, BF1 and R6S. Their what I'm looking forward to most from this list tbh.

MickersPosted:

Excited for the BF1 pack but apart from that nothing here.

DecyPosted:

The siege update is cool and all but nothing else here catches my eye at all :/

SleepPosted:

Honestly the only game I'm looking forward to is Destiny 2.

ZydrinPosted:

What in the **** is ISIS simulator and why would Steam even allow something like that?
