Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4
Headlining the bevy of PS4 games is "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4." The combat game, which now features new combos and player swapping, is the first title CyberConnect2 developed for next-gen consoles.
Game Reactor cited that the game can be played in two main modes: Story and Exploration. The ever-reliable Versus mode now consists of roughly one hundred characters. Players can also test their competitive luck on the game's online multiplayer mode.
"Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4" will have three expansion packs down the line. PS4 gamers who buy a season pass for all the DLCs will receive an elite combination secret technique.
According to GameSpot, DLC Pack 1 includes three hours of added gameplay, four combination secret techniques, 10 Ninja Info Cards, 10 skins from previous "Naruto" games, one bonus costume and one item set. DLC Pack 2 has much of the same but only with three combination secret techniques. DLC Pack is similar to DLC Pack 2 but with the addition of four more playable characters.
Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia" is set in early 20th century. It stars Nikolai Orelov, a staunch member of the Russian Brotherhood of Assassins. For his last hurrah as an Assassin, Orelov is tasked to retrieve an ancient and powerful artifact, which is in the possession of the Russian royal family.
The "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" trilogy delivers all the fun of the main "Assassin Creed" games but in 2D graphics, Ubisoft noted. All three side-scrolling episodes are set in distinct time periods and heavily expand the plot line of the franchise's critically-acclaimed narrative.
Firewatch
"Firewatch" is a first-person mystery game set in late 1980s Wyoming. Henry is a fire lookout whose new job is to keep the wilderness as serene and fireproof as possible, IGN reported. His only lifeline is a nifty handheld radio which he uses to communicate with his boss Delilah. All seems well, but then a peculiar incident forces Henry out of his tower and sets up the gist of the game.
Unravel
"Unravel" is developed by Coldwood Interactive and stars a thread of yarn named Yarny, per Trusted Reviews. Yarny's thread slowly unravels while players traverse the game's visually-appealing platform landscape. Yarny can also use the extra wool to pass through various obstacles.
