Set after the events of its predecessor, Injustice 2&#8217;s campaign focuses on Batman as he attempts to rebuild society amidst an imminent alien invasion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like its predecessor, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Injustice 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has many exciting characters. However, the most praise from fans seems to be going to Wonder Woman, the Amazonian warrior\/princess who, following the events of Gods Among Us, is now colder and more aggressive. Her powerful combos, effective special attacks, and strong defenses make her a solid option for beginners and experienced gamers alike. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With Injustice 2, her successful <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">self-titled blockbuster film<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and the upcoming <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Justice League movie<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 2017 is shaping up to be a pretty big year for Wonder Woman.

For starters, the shift to first person shooter mode seemed like too bold a move for a franchise that has relied so much on visuals. Early looks of its VR support were also rife with complaints of crippling nausea. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yet, RE7 turned out to be a sensational video game. Surprisingly, having little in common with its acclaimed predecessors seems to have worked out perfectly. For instance, Ethan Winters, the new protagonist, is much more charming than the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brood of characters<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> we had to work with in Resident Evil 6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, one of the best moments in the game comes when you find out the truth about Mia, Ethan&#8217;s missing wife. After that you lose control of Ethan and take over Mia, going back in time to relive her previous experiences. While Ethan starts out blind with just a knife, pistol and shotgun, Mia is well-prepared. In her memories, she goes hard with a machine gun and remote bombs shredding anything that blocks her way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You&#8217;re brought back to the current time, eventually, but for a few thrilling minutes, you get to be a one-woman army. <\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Link from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[2843]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2851 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-680x382.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-200x112.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-76x43.jpg 76w, https:\/\/www.gambody.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/thelegendofzelda-50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breath of the Wild is the latest installment in the extensive and widely acclaimed Nintendo series &#8211;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Legend of Zelda.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As everybody expected, it is yet another thoroughly impressive game.

What made it an instant hit, however, was Kat, the game&#8217;s charming protagonist. She becomes the hero of Hekseville after discovering she has the ability to manipulate gravity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kat returns in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gravity Rush 2<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which profoundly expands its predecessor&#8217;s mechanics to include a choice of two new gravity styles \u2013 Lunar, and Jupiter. The universe has also been widened, with the city now more colorful and lively. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the course of Gravity Rush 2&#8217;s intriguing campaign, you take over Kat. She interacts and helps the people of Hekseville, assimilates into a strange mining settlement, battles the Nevi and other enemies. She also loses and gains her powers, all while searching for her friends Syd and Raven, another gravity shifter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a sequel, Gravity Rush 2 gets everything right, most importantly the development of Kat&#8217;s character. She gains new abilities and learns some important things about her clouded past.
