edf is insultingly

and utterly essential.
acktracking is a crux
for lazy developers
who want to pad out
their games, yeah?
Actually, no, imaginary
opponent. The concept
might have a bad reputation
from games that have abused
it, the ones that force you
back through the same
location without offering
anything new or interesting,
but Firewatch shows how to
do backtracking brilliantly.
Quick recap for those who
havent played it yet. Henry is
heading off for the stunning
vistas and serene beauty of
Wyoming for a job. All he has
to do is keep an eye out for
forest fires and follow the
orders of his boss, Delilah. Of
course, it doesnt quite go as
smoothly as either would like.
Trust me, its marvellous.

Ben Tyrer used to get dragged to the Lake District on family holidays.
He hated all the walking. It therefore comes as some surprise to him that
his favourite game of 2016 so far is a walking simulator. Set in a forest.
Ian Dransfield is fond of the finer things in life. To him, however, the finer
things involve unthinking, repetitive mass destruction and forcing extinction
on giant creepy crawlies. He wants everyone to share in this unfettered joy.

its like: No, no no. We need to make melee combat fun. How do you
make first-person combat fun? First-person traversal fun? How do you
make sure people dont die in the tutorial like in the first game?
OPM: Did that happen a lot? People didnt even get through the original

OPM: Weve seen the likes of Titanfall and Call Of Duty flirting with
parkour elements, but why is nobody else doing this type of game?
PB: I dont know! I honestly dont know.
OPM: There was such an outpouring of love from the fans at
Catalysts announcement that it feels like the genre is in demand.
PB: Yeah, I agree with you. We ask the same question, and sometimes
you either stop and think about it and think We must be wrong so we
shouldnt do it either. Or you think No, we are right, we just have to
prove it! Theres a risk in proving something that does not yet exist,
because you cant refer to it. You cant say As long as were better or on
par with that game then were good. Here its a case of As long as we
are on par or better than our old game But thats not good enough.
We need to be so much better. What does that mean? We dont know
we need to figure that out!
OPM: How tough has it been to adapt your level design to fit an open
world? To cultivate exciting parkour action without linear paths?
PB: Thats the challenge. If you make a game that has a linear path,
you can create a very bespoke experience. It can be amazing and we see
a lot of games that are really good where it feels open, but youre actually
funnelled through. I have a lot of respect for games that can do that right.

what iS it?
Sci-fi third-person shooting

skirmishes. Think Destiny,
with added bo staffs, and
youre probably pretty close
to the mark.

what iS it?
Konamis answer to FIFA
Ultimate Team, uncoupled
from its parent game. Pick
a club, collect players and
then level them up through
matches against AI and
online opponents.
why play it?
Given the lack of explanation or
fanfare surrounding the launch of
myclub as its own freebie entity, youd
be forgiven for not realising the scope
of Konamis offering here. Because this
is more than simply Pro Evos take on
what iS it?
First-person shooting in a
science-fiction universe of
endless factional strife, with
multiple classes and oodles of
vehicles. And its all played out
on the shifting battlefronts of
bloomin massive continents.
why play it?
Planetside 2 is a fearsomely
intimidating slice of sci-fi shootery,
offering new players little more than
an introduction to its menu and map
screens before pushing you out into a
world of persistent conflict. But once
youve wrapped your head around a
few of the key concepts, your reward
is a constantly shifting battlefield
in which single skirmishes can be
contested by hundreds of players.
Its occasionally bewildering and
often exhilarating, delivering conflict
on a scale that makes Battlefields
64-person showdowns look like
pub car park punch-ups. Its not
uncommon to stumble into tussles
involving dozens of vehicles and scores
of infantry, all spraying bullets, rockets
and heals with abandon. And since
most of the unlockables are optional
side-grades, theres no hard-sell,
leaving you to worry about gunning
down New Conglomerate goons rather
than fetching your debit card.
what iS it?
A truncated edition of
Team Ninjas 2015 edition
of DOA5, featuring a limited
lineup of characters and a
heaving virtual storefront
of microtransactions.
why play it?
Core Fighters is nothing if not true
to its name. Fire up this mini-edition
of the famously buxom fighting game
series, and one of the first things
youll see is a teeming character
select screen, with almost all of
the fighters greyed-out.
But what this game lacks in
characters, it makes up for
handsomely elsewhere. Core Fighters
features the full Versus, Online and
Arcade modes of its retail sibling,
as well as series staples such as
Survival and Team Fight. And all
thats to say nothing of the Training
mode, included here in all its
comprehensive glory. You basically
have access to everything barring
the Story mode, which is
available to unlock, if you so
choose, at the sort of price
that probably dwarfs the
cost of a preowned copy
of DOA5 at this stage.
So, if youre a fan of one of the
four included characters (Kasumi,
Ayane, Ryu Hayabusa, and
Hayate), youre in luck. And
additional characters are available
to purchase for the sum of 3.29,
meaning that even if your
favourite isnt on the core roster,
you can still gain access to a
whole lot of game for a very
reasonable cost of admission. Its
a superb introduction to the
series accessible, fast-paced
combat, as well as a ready source
of hours upon hours of
multiplayer laughs.

Abzu is an exception to the rule.
Due on PlayStation 4 as a consoleexclusive this spring, its a game
about underwater exploration, but one
in which everything thats scary about
the concept has been stripped away.
You neednt worry about running out
of air as theres no oxygen gauge and
no way to suffocate. You neednt fear
being snacked on by nasties, either:
theres a shark, but it wont bite.
Dying is, in fact, impossible.
So as we slowly swim through
the shallow, clear waters of Abzus
opening, skimming above golden
sand and getting a feel for our
divers controls, we feel calmness
take hold. These early minutes are
gentle, peaceful, strokes towards a
welcoming, sunlit cave filled with
schools of fish and pillars of green

stoppingly tangible force that you may not
fancy the extras for ages.
Once youre feeling frisky, the V-Skill on the
medium attack buttons feels like the next logical
move. SFIVs tricky-to-time Focus Attacks were
similarly mapped, and could utterly redirect
matches provided you put in serious dojo time.
Not so in SFV. Every fighter gets a different,
infinitely-usable toy. Theyre easy to execute,
but risk/reward is perfectly balanced. Cammys
projectile-proof pirouette has a punishable startup time, while disrespecting F.A.N.G.s venomous
purple balls (smack him somewhere, anywhere)
nullifies their damage-over-time effect. All can
cause delicious chaos without so much as a
polite introduction.
And if you were afraid to take the V-Skill
home to mumsie, wait until you meet the
V-Trigger. When your V-Gauge is full after
youve taken some flak, hammering u and i
heavy attacks has your brawler
erupt in a kaleidoscopic
swirl of power to deal huge,
swift damage. The V-Gauge
shenanigans dont stop there.
V-Reversals let you fight
your way out of corners with
characters unique counterattacks by blocking blows,
then pushing forward and
tapping o or p. Its as instinctive as the rest of
SFVs new arsenal, often just sort of happening
in much the same way as rainbow-coated EX
moves and monstrously gorgeous Critical Arts
pop out of combos to say hello. Before you really
know whats what, youre halfway to a fightstyle.
This is Street Fighter Vs big victory. Its
flawless combat system moulds itself to whoever
picks up the pad. Beginners feel the seductive
thrill of pulling off show-stopping performances:
the sparkly, stylised animations are as dizzyingly
slick as each I-did-it-on-purpose-honest
hit-chain. Veterans chew over details, gleefully
realising that Birdies light punch headbutt is an
anti-air and hit-confirming it into his Critical
Art for beastly damage until theyre bested
by a newbie Necallis low
sweep. Get ready to be tested
if youre a fighting fan:
adapting is essential when
the tools are there, always
within reach, for everyone.

crammed with barnyard
animals! Put them all together
and what have you got? A
follow-up to Lego Marvel
Super Heroes, apparently.
An action-packed puzzler
with a slapstick centre, Lego
Marvels Avengers delivers
all the best Bam! Splat! Kaboom! moments of Avengers
Assemble and Age Of Ultron,
wrapped up in one colourful
Lego shell.
Switching from Captain
America to Black Widow
to any one of more than a
hundred Marvel characters,
you must save the world not
once, but twice, using only
your wits and the ability to
assemble you know, cars and
stuff, not misfit superheroes
that pop to pieces at the first
sign of trouble. Oh, and dont
forget your extensive range of
superpowers. Black Widow can
become invisible to security
cameras; Hulk can er, smash
stuff; and Captain America can
put out Lego fires using his
star-spangled shield not to
be confused with SHIELD.
Still with me?
This is a title that really
caters to fans of the Marvel
universe. If youre a newcomer,

made PS Plus worth
it last month: it got
an 8/10 in OPM #109. A triple-threat on

the operative word for this ball-buster.
Feb disappeared in a haze of panicked
co-op, peppering Bugs (and, ahem,
teammates) with scarily limited ammo.

us with a hearty blend of platforming,

the spin-off stands strong individually:
crisp animations and combat make a
sophisticated brawler plus theres
an involving story. In a fighting game.
