They say that if you
live by the sword, you
die by the sword. I say
they haven’t played
enough Sekiro.

DESTINY 2

http://www.destinythegame.com

New exotic gun quests and

increasingly silly seasonal events are

contributing to the happy, party

atmosphere in Destiny 2. It’s a good

time to tuck in to this dazzling space

FPS as, rather handily, the latest

season adds level-boosting quests

that let you skip dozens of hours of

grinding and looting.

SHOOT AND LOOT

SEKIRO: SHADOWS DIE TWICE

http://www.sekirothegame.com

Sublime swordfighting set in a

colourful, dark fantasy imagining of

Sengoku-era Japan. The parry

system is probably going to be

copied for years to come, so you

might as well get the original

experience. It’s made by the creators

of Dark Souls, so there’s lots of

detailed lore to unpick as well.

MASTER THE BLADE

THE ROOM SERIES

the-room-three-2

I wish The Room’s puzzle boxes

were real, but no-one could build

contraptions this intricate. The fourth

game, Old Sins, is yet to arrive on PC,

but one through three are. Each has

you investigating mansions full of

secrets. There’s a Lovecraftian vibe

that grows as you solve each room.
