Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Remedy Entertainment has etched out a sharp identity as a distinct developer that creates rip-roaring third-person shooters. Add to that, they drench their IPs in a unique cinematic flavour with stand-out stories and innovative combat; from Max Payne to Quantum Break.

Shame for the PlayStation players though, they’ve been exclusively releasing on Microsoft consoles for a close to a decade. Until now that is, as their latest release is going multi-platform.

The title looks to be an enticing mind-bending tale with uniquely off-kilter action. An eclectic blend of Sci-Fi, Horror and Action movie, almost like John Woo by way of David Lynch.

In a month full of exciting new I.P, this takes top spot for good reason.
