Today it's all about fighting Worms, taking on Demons in Hell itself, cruising the streets of Los Santos and hacking the world. Let's take a look at the Day 2 highlights:
DOOM (Action First Person Shooter)
Can you believe it's been 13 years since DOOM 3 launched? When we got news they were making a new DOOM it was met with caution as we didn't know what to expect, luckily though id Software delivered a fantastic reboot and a fast paced action FPS title that was worth of being called DOOM. As soon as you begin the game you are thrust into the gameplay and only takes seconds from starting to be blasting away at demons. You awake aboard a table and it's not exactly clear why you're there, story in the game is present but takes a backseat to the fluid and fun shooting mechanics. If you were turned away by recent shooters that tried to give you a long back story and wanted a more action approach with secrets this may be the game for you. It also features powerups, progress via weapon upgrades and character upgrades, as well as secrets to find. Multiplayer is another key feature and recently they made all the Season Pass DLC Free to everyone, breaking down the fourth wall. Lastly you're able to create your own maps with the SnapMap feature, giving creators a chance to become creative.
Grab one of the best FPS games of 2016 as DOOM is 55% off today!
Worms Revolution (Turn Based Strategy Multiplayer Mayhem)
Ain't no party like a Worms party! Going all the way back to the early 1990's, Worms games have always been a fun little party game that can be played with friends as you try to fire whacky weapons like Bazookas, Sheep, Cows, Mortars and Air Strikes to beat the other team and Worms Revolution is one of the best in the series. Not only does it include a ton of content, but it has a massive arsenal of weapons and powerups for you to choose from. It also brings an extensive single player campaign with 32 levels, but there's also 20 puzzles missions and a level editor for you to play with. For the first time in a Worms game you're able to customise those little guys by equipping them with hats, changing their voices and more to make your worm stand out in the crowd. As with other games in the franchise you can expect fantastic online multiplayer (or local) as you try to see who the best team of worms is.
Worms Revolution is 80% off today!
Grand Theft Auto V (Open World Action Game)
Rockstar has crafted some of the best Open World games and it's latest entry in the Grand Theft Auto Franchise is no exception. Grand Theft Auto V is arguably the best Open World ever created, the streets of Los Santos (which were last seen in GTA San Andreas) come alive with action around every corner! Originally released back in 2013 on PS3 and 360, the PC version has one of the best PC ports in recent years and supports a wide range of systems. Graphically this is one of the most impressive looking titles on PC and can even push hardware to their limits (and further with mods). The story will see you playing as one of 3 characters (each with their own unique special abilities), as they form an unlikely bond to work together on heists and reap the rewards. There's so much to see and do within the game that it will take you a long time to explore everything. Multiplayer allows you to take on various races, heists and activities with friends and they're constantly adding free content to the game which adds new events, vehicles and more. Plus it has a massive soundtrack within the game that features songs from a wide range of artists like Britney Spears, Rhianna, Queen and many more!
There's no question that you're going to get an amazing deal regardless of what price you pay, but luckily for you we have Grand Theft Auto V for 45% off today!
Watch_Dogs 2 (Open World Action Game)
When the world first heard about the original Watch_Dogs, it blew people away with the E3 demo. Sadly though the promise of something great was quickly swept away with less than satisfying end result (and a clunky PC version at release). Fast forward to 2016 and we got the sequel Watch_Dogs 2, which put players in the shoes of Marcus Holloway, a hacker who teams up with DedSec in the San Francisco Bay Area. Like with the original game you're able to hack most anything you see, cars, traffic lights and more, this time however you're given more freedom and access to drones that can be used to access things out of reach. The world of San Francisco comes alive and Watch_Dogs 2 feels like the game the original should have been, with a likable main character and plenty of side activities to engage in. Marcus can also upgrade his abilities and is able to "3D Print" weapons and devices to use. Recently the game also got a 4 player multiplayer mode that allows players to team up and take on various activities in a group.
While it may not have been the groundbreaking game we were hoping for, it's quite possibly the best open world game Ubisoft has delivered in a long time and is what the original should have been. You can get Watch_Dogs 2 for 56% off today!
DMC - Devil May Cry (Action Platformer Hack and Slash)
DMC - Devil May cry was an attempt to bring something new to the franchise and was created by Ninja Theory, who would go on to create the recent Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. You play as the Nephilim Dante who must take down the demon king Mundus from spreading hell on Earth. Much like other entries in the series, you will be able to equip various weapons and perform some powerful combo attacks, this time Dante has new abilities with Devil and Angel Mode - which allow him to switch to specific weapons to take down certain types of enemies or perform actions to bypass obstacles. Levels are a mix of action with some platforming elements, you may need to hop from platform to platform in order to reach a certain object or find a secret. Dante is also able to upgrade his weapons and abilities by collecting various "souls" from fallen enemies which can be used as currency to unlock new upgrades.
DMC - Devil May Cry is 77% off today only!
Hidden Gem of the Day
Mad Max (Open World Action Game)
Our Hidden Gem for today is the post apocalyptic open world action game Mad Max. Based on the popular movie franchise you play as Max Rockatansky, who is forced to survive in a world where fuel and resources are limited. Exploring the dusty plains in your trusty car (which can be upgraded) you tackle various missions as you build trust with factions and help them out in their war with scavengers. One of the best things about the game is the melee combat, which has Max bouncing from enemy to enemy (much like the Arkham games) to deliver some devastating attacks on unsuspecting foes. Weapons take a back seat here, but you do have a couple useful tools including the car which can be used to harpoon enemies and buildings apart. As you progress in the game you will gain new abilities and new upgrades that benefit Max in various ways. The real star is on the fantastic open world itself and developers Avalanche (who worked on Just Cause 3) have given a sense of wonder the sandy plains.
If you love Open World games with plenty of side activities to explore and great hand to hand combat then give Mad Max a try, the game is 76% off today!
