I won’t tire of repeating it, February ended up being a fantastic month for video game lovers thanks to all the high quality titles it left us. Atomic Heart, Hogwarts Legacy, Octopath Traveler II… all these works have made very good impressions with the press and the public.
However, we are already in March, and that means a new wave of great games is coming that could become serious GOTY contenders (or not). Then I will review the ten launches that, from my point of view, are the most remarkable weeks to come. Let’s go!
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty (PC, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBX|S) – March 3
We start with one of the heavyweights of March 2023, no more, no less. Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is the new of Ninja Team and it aims to be the video game that will perfect the fantastic action mechanics that we saw in the two episodes of nioh The Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms of China mean something to you? Well, this game will be set in an alternate (dark fantasy) version of said historical period.
Project Zero: Lunar Eclipse Mask (PC, NSW, PS4, PS5, XBO, XBX|S) – March 9
It looks like the Project Zero saga is once again gaining relevance in the West, as the successful premiere of Maiden of Black Water seems to have paved the way for Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, a Wii game that never came out of Japan. Now comes your remastering for PC and consoles. The Good Terror is coming to Rogetsu Island.
Bleak Faith: Forsaken (PC) – March 10
first video game India from the list. Dark Faith: Forsaken It is one of those works that attract attention just by seeing a few images, because its artistic section is frankly spectacular. From Archangel Studios they want to offer a game that a priori may seem different soul-like but which manages to differentiate itself thanks to its elements of survival horror. It’s a really disturbing game with a open world full of perils.
Bayonetta Origins: Cherry and the Lost Demon (NSW) – March 17
PlatinumGames has decided to experiment with its most recognized saga. Origins of Bayonetta: Cereza and the Lost Demon moves away from hack’n’slash and realistic aesthetics to deliver gameplay focused on the platforms and the puzzles and an artistic section of style “fairy tale”. Moreover, it is a prequel of other games.
Chia (PS5, PS4, PC) – March 21
Bye It’s another one of those indie video games that gets a lot of attention due to its visuals. In this colorful adventure, we control a girl who embarks on a great adventure in a tropical archipelago inspired by New Caledonia. Jump, swim, sail, slide, run from here to there and… Transform into animals? All this is possible in the promising game of Awaceb.
Happy Death (PC, NSW) – March 22
We continue with another very cool indie. happy death it’s a roguelite full of stock and with a few beautiful 2D graphics in which you take control of the cutest version of the grim reaper. Death is fed up with his minions not doing their job well, so now it’s up to the boss to undo all his damage and bring some order to the world.
Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End & the Secret Key (PC, PS5, PS4) – March 24
The third installment in the Atelier Ryza saga was originally supposed to be released last month, but the developers found it necessary to postpone their plans to deliver the best version possible. JRPG. Good old Ryza returns once again (with more curves?) with another of its adventures full of alchemy, magic and friends.
Resident Evil 4 Remake (PC, PS5, XBX|S, PS4) – March 24
it probably is the most anticipated game by the vast majority of players. Capcom keeps making us salivate with each new trailer that comes out for this remake of Resident Evil 4and it is not for less, since the game looks great in almost all its aspects. Leon S. Kennedy will return to his old ways in a certain town in Spain.
Crime Boss: Rockay City (PC) – March 28
This title was one of the big surprises from The Game Awards 2022 gala. INGAME STUDIOS and 505 Games have revealed that they are working on a Action-packed FPS set in the 80s…Which features very hot movie stars! Vanilla Ice, Chuck Norris, Danny Trejo, Mickey Roorke and Danny Glover are some of the actors who will appear in this play. And did I mention the game looks crazy?
The Last of Us: Part I (PC) – March 28
And to close out the summit, we have a game that can’t be ignored for two reasons. The first is because it is the remake of one of the best video games of all timeAndIt already looks great on PS5, I don’t even want to imagine how it will work on PC. And the second is basically because it can hit a big hit in sales thanks to the success of the HBO series. Now is the best time to be a fan of The Last of Us.
