We go over some of the best looking and most highly anticipated games coming out in October 2016!

Battlefield 1 (PlayStation 4/ Windows PC/ Xbox One, October 21)

Battlefield 1 attempts to liven up the series' typical modern military setting by throwing the conflict back in time to the middle of World War I. Making space for horses, biplanes, and bayonets in a bleak period of the history of warfare, Battlefield 1 may just be the refresher that the series needs.


Titanfall 2 (PlayStation 4/ Windows PC/ Xbox One, October 28)

Titanfall 2 is the sequel to the burst of innovation that was the short-lived giant mech/ground combat multiplayer FPS Titanfall. Based on what we've seen so far, Titanfall 2 looks like it seeks to do nothing but build on the foundation laid by the original. Changes include six new playable titans, loads of new weapons, and an actual single-player campaign with a more coherent plot than the first game. If luck is on its side, and Respawn Entertainment has worked hard enough, Titanfall 2 may be the game-changing experience that its predecessor promised to be.


Skyrim Special Edition (PS4 / Xbox One/ Windows PC, October 28) 

Little needs to be said about Skyrim Special Edition. It's the classic Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but with improved graphics, including re-done lighting and textures. Official mod supports on both console and PC and the original game's single-player DLC are also included. You'll also receive the Special Edition for free if you already have Skyrim: Legendary Edition on PC. It's just Skyrim, but bigger, shinier, and a little more complete.


Shantae and the Pirate's Curse Physical Release (3DS, October 18)

The excellent Shantae and the Pirate's Curse has been out on multiple platforms for quite a while, but it will finally be receiving a physical release for 3DS this October. A new mode will also be added on in the form of the arcade-style "Super Shantae Nab!!". If you haven't at least checked out Pirate's Curse by this point, this physical release would be a good jumping off point. 

 


100ft Robot Golf (PS4/PlayStation VR, October 10)

100ft Robot Golf looks like it could be one of the most hectic, entertaining and hilarious multiplayer games released in a while. The game offers up a 1-4 player local co-op experience, filled with four balls simultaneously in play, loads of giant robots, comedic announcers, and hilarious cardboard physics and clipping issues. It's a must have for PS4 owners looking for the perfect party game.


Shadow Warrior 2 (Windows PC)

The highly-anticipated sequel to the surprise hit remake of Shadow Warrior is finally here, and it promises to be even more crammed with gore, weapons, and double entendre than the first game. The game, in addition, adds a more-openly designed world filled with new locations and characters. With newly added attacks and movement skills for combat diversity and mobility, Shadow Warrior 2 looks like it'll be quite the wild ride.  


Gears of War 4 (PC and Xbox One)

The release of Gears of War 4 makes it feel like the series never left. After a few years of relative silence following the mixed public reaction to Gears of War: Judgement, Gears of War 4 brings back a few key members of the original cast to continue with the original story, all gussied up for the jump to a new console generation. This time hopefully with a bit of added drama, Marcus Fenix will return with his own son on the battlefield to combat the resurfaced locust threat.


We hope you saw at least one thing on this list that piqued your interest. If there are any games you feel should be mentioned in a future list for releases in November or a game you felt deserved to be on this list,  please feel free to tell us in the comments below!

I'm just your average basement-dwelling eclectic and eccentric video gamer who does his best to make a point, share experiences, and talk to people without swallowing his own tongue. I'm mostly into Platformers and RPG's, but I'll try pretty much anything once, and I'm also trying to find something different and interesting to play, and then share with as many people as I can. I can also beat the entire first world in Super Meat Boy while wearing oven mitts.
