Every December 2019 Video Game - Ranked By Anticipation

4. Arise: A Simple Story

Release Date: Dec 3rd

Platforms: PC, PS4, Xbox One

Arise enters the arena at year's end, with a plot centred around a deceased ancient warrior venturing through the afterlife after his death. He relives past memories and solves puzzles and platforms set-pieces.

That premise does sound familiar at present, but there’s no denying there is a striking beauty and thoughtfulness showcased via the trailers.
