| Breath of the Wild is often considered one of the best games in recent memory . There are a bunch of reasons for the title's critical acclaim, from its beautiful art style to its clever quests. The game also gets a lot of credit for the amount of freedom it gives | As per its title, the game is set in Tolkien's middle-earth and encompasses much of the lore detailed in the author's many novels. There are even one or two familiar faces thrown in there just for good measure, though it's really the gameplay that takes center stage in this one rather than the characters or narrative. The sequel's pretty good too, although fails to recapture the brilliance of its predeces |

| With the nominations coming before the year's end, we're faced with the usual issue of not all of 2014's titles being included (like Ubisoft's The Crew ) but at least they got in the most recent two-three weeks which includes the largest batch of high profile releases. The deadline for eligible entrants was games released by November 25th. On the Canadian Videogame Awards front, the date of nomination eligibility was much earlier and meant that some of the year's biggest titles ( [[https://creedshadowgame.com/|Assassin's Creed Shadows Story Guide|Https://Creedshadowgame.Com/]] Creed Unity, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Far Cry 4, etc. ) didn't make the | For the first time in the series' history, Battlefield V included a chapter that follows the story of a female soldier , Solveig. Solveig is affiliated with the indigenous resistance movement opposing the German occupying forces in Norway, and despite being young, she is a well-trained and effective soldier during the war. Solveig survives the Norwegian cold and avoids Nazis patrolling the woods during the campaign, as she is in search of her mother. We have not seen many playable female soldiers in the past, and Solveig definitely sets a high standard for female soldiers in future ga |

| Ubisoft has been through a rough patch since the days of Unity. Syndicate's sales were greatly impacted because of it and playing around with worthless trailers like Identity’s could impact sales just the same. If they were planning on creating a Q&A video about the game that provides impressive and well done gameplay visuals, Ubisoft should started with that right out of the gate or at least have cut a few clips of the gameplay shown in the Q&A and implement them into their announcement trailer, or even better scrapped the trailer all together and focused on creating a proper reveal trailer. Although the creativity and budget were behind their "announcement" trailer, it was by no means a worthwhile one especially since you really have to go out of your way (and be interested in the game enough) to find their little Q&A video that does a much better job at portraying what the game actually is. | |

| Assassin's Creed Identity is making its way onto the mobile market in just under three weeks and to promote the game, Ubisoft released an announcement trailer that is just all around dull and utterly boring. Even the actor portraying a regular shmoe who transforms into the assassin character (likely the protagonist of the game) looks bored and angry throughout the trailer. It’s as if just having to play this game during his short walk down the tunnel had squandered his entire day. | |

| This year's other huge game which blocks off player progression behind loot boxes is EA's Star Wars Battlefront II. Many multiplayer shooters feature loot boxes, such as the previously-mentioned Overwatch, as well as Call of Duty and EA's own Battlefield . However, while the contents of those games' loot boxes only ever contain cosmetic items, the recent beta for Star Wars suggests that Star Cards, the crux of the game's entire progression system, are tied to opening loot boxes. Of course, they can be purchased with real money. When loot boxes are purely cosmetic, the argument can be made that it doesn't matter how expensive they are, since they cannot effect gameplay balance. But someone who puts down a ton of money on Battlefront II right away will have a distinct advantage against someone who does | If you're looking for a game that's mechanically similar to Assassin's Creed: Odyssey but with an even more fantasy-based setting then Immortals Fenix Rising has you covered.
