Far Cry 5 is a game that left an array of different impressions on people. Some people loved and hated it. The one thing it did right was the environment. It does a good job of creating a slice of the American Midwest and populating it with all sorts of animals, lots of opportunities for side quests, and folks to fight. There is a lot to see and do here, with cars, boats, and planes to use to explore it.

Monster Hunter: World

The Monster Hunter games previously limited people in their scope, only allowing people access to a small area for a limited time while they hunted a specific creature. Monster Hunter: World opened things up, giving people the world. By that, I mean open world. You can just send your hunter into areas, going after monsters and resources without a time limit. There are so many more options, resulting in a freer experience.

Spider-Man is taking on New York, facing all sorts of iconic baddies in a bid to keep it safe. This dude, with his webbing, will offer us the perfect way to explore the city and see it in a whole new way.

Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to blow people away. It does not matter how much we know. There are only two things that matter.
