October
2017 Games to Look Forward To
The Xbox One gets another much-needed exclusive to kick off October as Forza Motorsport races onto the scene. It offers over 700 vehicles, over 200 tracks, dynamic weather, and some of the best visuals you’ve ever seen. After that, Octoboer seems to be the month of sequels, as nearly the entire month is comprised of followups to big games. Shadow of War takes Shadow of Mordor’s nemesis system to a whole new level, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus brings even more of the bombastic action that The New Order provided, and South Park: The Fractured But Whole trades in magic for super powers.
Two major releases of this month are more like evolutions than just mere sequels, though. You have Super Mario Odyssey, the latest 3D adventure starring everyone’s favorite mustachioed plumber. Thanks to Cappy, his living hat, players will be able to control inanimate objects and even enemies. On the other side of the spectrum is Assassin’s Creed Origins, a game with a lot to prove. After giving the annualized series a break, Ubisoft has doubled down on the action-RPG elements and changed a lot of the game’s systems, making for a refreshing game with new challenges.
